There I am sitting on the pew in the back of the church with my baby, and suddenly he\u2019s too loud, too playful, and too big to stay in service with me! He\u2019s started to fuss because he doesn\u2019t want to be quiet. He\u2019s gotten big enough to be a distraction to the people around us, and disrupt the service.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t ready for this. Mother\u2019s Day brings up so many other emotions (see last entry), and now, my last baby is officially too big to keep in service with me. When did this happen? When did he grow up? I haven\u2019t been apart from him for more than an hour since he left the NICU, and then the only other person he stays with is Daddy. I haven\u2019t even left him with Gramma and Grampa yet, let alone a babysitter. And now I\u2019ve got to hand him over to semi-strangers?!? I just wasn\u2019t ready for swell of emotions that left me crying my eyes out and unable to pay attention to the pastor this morning.<\/p>\n

I feel so proud. He\u2019s grown into such a big boy from that little tiny thing we brought home. But there is also sadness. He\u2019s growing way too fast! I\u2019m not ready for this! He\u2019s my last baby (definitely, I had my tubes tied when he was born). I need him to stay little just a little longer! I guess you could say I suffered my first attack of separation anxiety. I definitely think it was much harder on mom than it was on baby.<\/p>\n

I just can\u2019t believe he\u2019s gotten so big already. Who gave him permission to grow up? When did this happen?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
