In just two days, my little one will be one year old. After three kids I'm still in awe of how fast and slow the first year goes. Really time in general has sped up since having kids. Tim and I often wonder what we did during those two years of marriage before C came along. Seriously, we must have watched a lot of TV and eaten at a lot of restaurants!
If I could do it all over, I would tell the younger version of myself to find Tim sooner, get married sooner, and start a family sooner. When young women tell me that they want to enjoy a career before settling down I wonder if they will regret that later. I know, it sounds old fashioned, but from personal experience, I love my job, but it will never beat snuggling with my babies, playing make believe, or hearing the words, "I love you Mommy!"
