24 Weeks: Less Than 100 Days Left

By Thepracticalmommy2 @PracticalMommy2
I can't believe I have less than 100 days left of this pregnancy. It seems so close and yet so far away!
This week's struggle was actually with my first two kids. My oldest, who has been going to preschool for a few months now, has just recently told us he's being teased and bothered by other kids (bullying in preschool?!). My second born just turned two, and is no longer 'my baby'. They grow up so fast!
And soon, I'll be adding a third child to the mix. What a mix it is! He definitely has his own personality now; he bounces, punches, and kicks at all of the right moments. He knows when I am finally sitting still and when I just want to rest.
For now, he's just my inside baby, my little one that I can keep from the world and all to myself. I need to stop imagining what he'll be like and just be mesmerized that he is what he is already.
I also need to spend more time enjoying the young moments with my other two. My oldest, while learning that the world outside of home isn't always nice, needs to be cuddled and loved. My second born needs to be cheered on as she accomplishes her new day to day tasks, like potty training and making her bed.
I just need to be Mom to all of them.
Good night. Time to go cuddle!
