Your stories are so real, and endearing, I just looked at the clock and realized that I have been reading your posts for over an hour already! And I completely understand how you feel...I am a fulltime student, own my own photography biz and am a mamma to a 17 yr/o boy and a 2 yr/o girl. I feel such guilt over spreading myself too thin with school and work and not ever having enough time with my kids. And for the fact that there is such an age difference with my son and daughter, that he doesnt wanna do the same things with us as a family {play park, disney movies,and baby things} and he would rather be out hanging with his buddies. But that up til just 2 short years ago it was just him and I. And for my beautiful lil baby girl, so small and still so new...she makes me remember all those feelings of having little babies, that I had forgotten about {being that my son is almost an adult now.}...those feelings that when you look at her you do love them so much it makes your heart soar, and ache all at the same time. I think that is the most realest love there is...the love for your children. I love my hubby and my other family members but its NOTHING compared to the love I have for my kids.

Sometime I thought I was going to smother them by loving them too much. I think the reason Mom's question how they can love to deeply is because we witness so many who don't. It crushes my heart to think of a child, any child lacking the love of a mother. I can't even go there in my mind because it would hurt way too much and I would end up wanting to adopt 300 children who needed my love....lol. Let's just count it as a blessing that we know how to love those babies like they were intended to be loved. And can I tell you that you have so much to look forward to. You think you love Adeline and Eliza now....wait until you are cradling in your arms, Adeline's precious baby girl or Eliza's precious baby boy. I never knew that I could love anyone else so deeply. Maybe it's a different kind of love but I can tell you that it's as deep as any other you've felt. Maybe we Mom's are just created or destined to love until it hurts. I think it's a awesome thing to be created to LOVE :) I loved my boys that way when they were growing up. Sometime I thought I was going to smother them by loving them too much.

First of all I so much agree with you on those "life is so perfect" facebook posts! They drive me crazy and make me feel like I am horrible person at times! I like people who are "real" and say what is on their mind at that given moment. That is why I like reading your blog! Plus you are very creative! Don't feel guilty for feeling like you can't give enough to your children. You seem to be giving so much more than alot of other people do! You seem so unselfish and let yourself be the last one you take care of! I work full time during the week and at least one weekend a month ( I am owned by "Uncle Sam") and I feel so quilty that I can't be with my kids during the day- that they have to go to a daycare. They are just about the same ages of your little girls! I feel guilty for being tired when I get home, having to cook dinner, clean, and not get enough time to just play with them. On top of that I keep trying to start my own business with my crafting and photography or find another job with less hours. I get so mad that this economy where I live doesn't allow for me to be able to be home with my kids and just let my husband work outside the house. We both would like that. I admire you for being able to have a successful business from your home! I know it is alot of work and you probably feel pulled in so many directions and that you can't be everything to everyone. Keep your faith and know your little ones will know their mom worked very hard to stay home with them and how fortunate they are to have you! Annie you made me smile with your latest post!

I am like that with my oldest. I am adopted so she is the first person I have ever actually laid eyes upon that is genetically connected to me, and boy, does that play with my mind (and heart) sometimes! when reading your ichat message, i was thinking to myself that as moms, we always carry such difficult burdens and whether its because of your dad, my adoption, whatever...we feel. and we feel strongly. so,whatever you were feeling that night (Im coming in a little late on this post!), i admire you for just going with it, thinking about it and talking about it. you are a good momma...with a big, caring,feeling heart. i agree with another commenter about the love of your first born being strong.

I have a daughter of my own (She's 2) & a boy on the way. They are the only reason I started to get into photography. I went through every single one of the pictures you took of your kiddos, all I see is 'LOVE' (& they are both so beautiful) I think that's exactly why it keeps me coming back. We never met, but we have already had something in common - 'LOVE' for our children. And believe me sometimes men are worse than us! A few times now, I caught my husband starring at our daughter or watching her sleep quietly. Sometimes there are tears in his eyes, I didn’t want to say anything (guys don’t like to be caught crying), he tells me he loves our baby too much, he can’t breathe & it kills him. I said to him: “You are a great dad who knows what love means.” You are a wonderful mother – Annie!
