Courtney and Claire have been sleeping in these cribs (with one side off) a little longer than we had planned. They barely fit and they were asking to sleep on the floor together pretty regularly. Fortunately we had a queen size bed packed waaaaaay back in the extra garage. They were giddy with excitement as Ken set it up for them. I, on the other hand, couldn't hide the tears. We've never taken cribs apart without knowing that at some point, we'd set them up again. This was so final and such a definite end to a season of our life. I didn't expect to be that sad when I saw him pull the cribs apart but I just couldn't help it. I know that each stage brings new joy but the stages are just going much too quickly for me. I'd really like things to slow down a little.

You need to give me some advice and encouragement about this phase of life. I'm not ready for it, but I know it is coming.
I put up Jesse's bouncy seat and exersaucer just this week and I always know they will be pulled back out soon for the next baby, but this time as I put them away I cried because they may never be used again.
Right now my load is full, physically and emotionally I cannot handle another baby, but I do not, cannot think of this part of my life being over.
Bittersweet, and I do know how you feel.
I love the picture of the girls sleeping together when they were newborn, and then now as they are older, so sweet.
