Thoughts on having a third child....

I really am enjoying the "newborn" phase with August, and I can't honestly say that I did as much with the first two kiddos for some reason...I always found myself wishing for the next step, for them to be 1-month-old or 3-months-old, or 18-months-old...always ready for the next milestone, for solid foods, for sitting up, for walking.  I did too much wishing away of the time.  Perhaps I don't so much now because I am finally starting to believe what I have heard from so many many wise folks that have gone before me in parenting..."Those days go so fast" They do. So fast.  And I find myself looking at August and wishing for him to stay small, so cuddly, so loving to be held.  He is my little cuddle-bud. A true fan of warm arms and bouncing:)  He is 6 weeks old tomorrow!

So precious!! Can't believe he's 6 weeks already. I'm glad you have a cuddle bug, too. They are the best. :) I'm wanting another little one in my arms. I just need my husband to be home more than 2 days a month so I can get preggo!! :)

He is such a cutie! We are so glad you are enjoying little August! We look forward to seeing you all next week! He is about 50% bigger than when he was born!
Love, Mom J.
