A Last

Today was the last day I will ever have baby things in my home. We got rid of all of our baby items this afternoon. No more bassinet, no more swing, no more bouncer. No more baby. WAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Holy cow am I am emotional wreck. Who knew it was going to be this hard to say goodbye to things. It really has nothing to do with the things, but the memory of my little babies.
Those sleepless nights dragging that huge swing up the stairs into our bedroom with the hope that our little boy would sleep for just 20 minutes rocking back and forth, or watching them breathe for hours next to me as they sleep in the bassinet.
Those are memories I will always hold so close, and I guess having these "things" still present in my home helped me hold onto the notion that my little ones were still babies. They aren't.
I am happy to know that all of our baby things went to a good home! Leia and Marie, thank you for giving them a good home, and allowing me to come visit whenever I want!
I know how much we have to look forward to in watching our babies grow up. There are still so many firsts we will have, it's just these lasts that remind me that I have to always make sure to never forget any of those firsts.
