Never Grow Up

It kills me to watch my four nephews grow up, because they grow up WAY too fast. They melt my heart with each new age and phase they go through, but there is just something special about their baby and toddler-hood.

I am sitting here watching my belly bounce up and down as Baby Girl gets comfortable and I can't already help and pray that time moves slowly. Like it or not the things that EVERYONE lets me know : "they grow up too fast" that "life just moves more quickly once they get here" and that "you are going to miss this". I REALLY want to and am going to try and soak in every moment.

This Taylor Swift song came on my Spotify Radio tonight and I felt the selfish need to share the first verse/chorus.

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger, and its so quiet in the world tonight.

Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming, so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light.

To you everything's funny, you've got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have honey if you could stay like that.

Oh, Darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up 

Just stay this little

Oh, Darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple

I won't let noboby hurt you, won't let no one break your heart

And no one will desert you.

Just try to never grow up

I don't know that I have let it sink in yet, just how blessed we are to have this new life joining our family. I can't wait to meet her, but at the same time I am going to really try and enjoy these last three months, only The Lord knows if I will ever get this opportunity again. I pray that I do but that does not give me an excuse to take this time for granted. I wish we could freeze frame time.
