This touched me an actually made me cry. I wish I had a child but I have not been blessed yet. In fact I am trying to get over my two miscarriages. Wish you all the best, you seem to be a great mum! “From the hall I hear is soft little voice floating towards me, as he talks to himself, and sings songs about trains to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”

I know that every time I start feeling like I know what I'm doing, one of my kids totally pulls the rug out from under me.

I want to be sitting there with my kid playing while I am doing art. I want to feel those fluttering kicks. Kudos for your writing.

I know you must feeling like shouting this off rooftops! I'm sure that I never feel ready for anything regarding this whole parenting experience. No matter how much I've read, or questions I've pondered, it's an in-the-moment thing. You will be able to do this, and soak in all that milky goodness, knowing THIS time how fleeting and precious it really is. Hard, yes, and disconcerting, but one of those tiny stages of life in the grand scale of it all. I love how Anne Lamott says in Operating Instructions that she sometimes felt like she was the babysitter, waiting for the REAL parents to show up. Um, me too...
