This is how many Saturdays between the day your child is born and the day he or she turns 18.

18 years seems like such a long time but when you look at it as only 6,570 days that you have before they are practically adults, going to college and moving out, it really changes the perspective.
Love them, cherish them and if you give them at least 2 hugs a day that is 13,140 hugs…doesn’t seem like enough to me so I’m going to give more than 2 a day!
I’m ending this post now before I start crying.
Well aren’t you a sensitive soul. You’re right, 940 doesn’t sound like a lot all. We try to do something every Saturday. Even I get cabin fever being home!
I feel like we are constantly on the run on weekends with A playing softball and gymnastics. Glad that summer time slows down and we can enjoy our weekend at the pool!
Now you are going to make me cry and I haven’t even had the baby yet. Hopefully I have 946 Saturdays to go. Before they leave and I never get a look in!
