Awww! Children are the worlds best “distractions”! Most of my friends are parent’s and I have never felt neglected by them, I know they are very busy and..well, just as you say, distracted. That would be a good feeling and I know someday Jeremy and I will have our own little distraction and it will be wonderful!

Thank you for sharing your heart so sweetly about being “distracted”. I can so much relate. Being a Pastors wife with 4 children of my own I feel very distracted and pulled in many directions. I want to cut and paste your words and put it over the door of my home…. so kindly spoken. <3

You have a beautiful heart! I’m sure your friends understand the conflict. I feel the same way about myself. I am distracted a lot, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Well put, it will go by so quickly and we don’t want to miss a thing.

You haven’t seemed anything but lovely when I see you. If anything, I feel like I’ve been the distracted one! So enjoy the time you have in this stage, and don’t worry too much about the rest of us. We love you and know what is important to you, and that makes you even more special. :)

I love your honest words and it sounds like you are being present in each moment with your girls. I agree: It’s nice to be included, and invited and called, but it’s not always the first thing on my mind these days either.

How beautifully put, Stephanie. I think all mommies can identify with that longing to still be part of our friends lives, to stay connected, and yet knowing that this is season of life when our babies need us most and there’s nothing more important we could be investing our time in. What a continual balancing act motherhood is!
