Feeling Old


With My Little...
Girl turning 12, I am feeling old this week! She is raking in HUGE gifts every day this week and I am very happy to see her love all gifts but 12 years old? She has her own cell phone now and will be a teenager next year! Jerry and I were talking about seeing your child for the first time when they are born on the ride home tonight! I honestly never thought you could love someone at first sight but when I saw Jessi for the first time, I was in awe that I made something THAT perfect! There is no other experience like that in the world! Seeing your child for the first time- after ten months of wondering if they will be ok, what sex they will be, what they will be like! Something I will NEVER forget! They grow up very fast and I am not coping all that well with that revelation! My son will be six next year, my daughter 13! As Kenny would say- don't blink! Later
