To add to it? No matter what you do in terms of preparing, reading, taking classes, meditating, gathering advice, and more, you'll never really know what you're doing. While initially I thought that maybe once I survived the newborn stage, I'd be more surefooted... then toddlerhood hit and I was back to square one. And don't even get me started on the ups and downs of the preschool years, school-age conundrums, and tween drama.
But, in the end, it really does go by just as quickly as everyone says it does. My own parents have told me time and time again how fast the years pass by and, although it took until I had children of my own to fully comprehend what they were getting at, they are completely correct. How else could it be that it feels as though I blinked and both of my babies turned into full-fledged... people?

| My heart. It aches for the cuteness. |
And, as if it wasn't enough that I have plenty of photos and videos of my own that I can go through when I'm feeling nostalgic for my girls' younger years, one of my favorite baby brands, Pampers, has also taken all of my thoughts and choked-up feelings and put them into a short video of their own.
This isn't just another company claiming to understand parenthood and the importance of each and every heartfelt moment that mothers (and fathers, too, of course) spend with their babies, Pampers has put a spotlight directly on the joy, wonder and amazement of every precious 'first' that families experience.
First heartbeat, first ultrasound, first cry, first kiss, first day home from the hospital... big or small, they're all a part of the parenthood journey that each and every one of us cherishes and holds near and dear to our hearts.
I'm not the only one who got a little teary-eyed watching that, right?
The number of emotions that this video brings up for me is staggering, as I can easily remember being so overwhelmingly happy about having a new little one in my life while yet also having so much to worry about.
Fortunately, one thing that I never lost sleep over was diapers. From quite literally their first day here, both of my children were wrapped in Pampers Swaddlers (Pampers Swaddlers is the #1 choice of hospitals in North America!) and they stayed as our family's favorite ever since.
As the first diaper worn by millions of babies, Pampers Swaddlers are able to wrap little ones with superior comfort, protection and blanket-like softness, helping to take care of babies during all the precious first moments they share with their parents.
As major bonuses, Pampers Swaddlers feature a color changing wetness indicator that signals when baby may need to be changed and an Absorb Away Liner® to pull wetness and mess away from delicate skin. Add that to the fact that these diapers offer up to 12 hours of overnight protection and its no wonder that they're the must-have way for moms, dads and babies to spend more time happy together.
Thank you for being a part of my family's (and millions around the world) journey of firsts, Pampers!
