Watchful Eyes and Maternity Clothes

 This is part of the mountain of clean laundry I folded today.  
These are my two adorable helpers who watched Mommy for a little bit.  One fussed, one slept.  Then the other slept and the other fussed.  Needless to say - it took all day to fold the laundry. I have to admit that the  interruptions were worthwhile and full of cuddling!  

As a side note - I bagged the maternity clothes to give away.  HARDEST. THING. THIS. WEEK.  It feels so stinkin' final now.  While it was hard, it was not impossible to do.  This is because I know that the maternity clothes are going to my sister and sister-in-law - if they want them.  I know it will be hard to see them wear the clothes, but there again, not impossible.  This is because if they are wearing them that means God has blessed them with another child and their family is growing. I pray they wear the maternity clothes to threads and we have LOTS and LOTS of nieces and nephews.

If I had a list of "Things to do to Recover" - I would check mark next to "Maternity Clothes" tonight.  I would also draw a smiley face with tears.  I'd probably write the words "Blessed Many Times Over." And I'd doodle a heart with 11 little hearts inside, one for each of my children (alive and in God's hands).  Yah, I'll be fine.  Just fine.  :-)
