Bye for now

If you’re reading this, first of all, thanks for sticking around! I started this blog when I was pregnant with Brady, about to give birth, in fact. He didn’t come on time and I remember writing blog posts in the days that led up to his birth. He was 11 days late, and time really slows downs before your first child’s birth. All of my kids were late but for my first baby, nothing or nobody else was there to compete for my time. So time extended and each day before the baby came seemed like an eternity.

Then he came, and life changed. Before Brady, After Brady.

 Nine years doesn’t sound that long (only “old” people can say that), but goodness, its hard to fathom how much has changed in my life.  I want to tell my 28 year old self (bless her), how happy she will be at 37, how content and fulfilled she will feel. How amazing her kids will turn out (yeah yeah I know it’s early for that). Maybe it would get her through some long, sleepless nights. Because there will be lots. 

I only meant to pop on here to say that I won’t be posting, at least in the short term. But more popped out, as it always does, when I actually sit down to write. This blog has always been such a blessing to me, and I am so so thankful to have had the platform.  Even if no one ever read it, the act of writing is therapy itself. And I always said, that when it became a chore, I would stop. That I don’t need it like I once did is a gift in itself. Motherhood was once a pretty lonely pursuit, and this place was a way to connect and recollect. But my phase of motherhood had changed.

I’ll be back for the birthday letters. See you in May.
