I heard this song on the radio this morning and listened very carefully to the words as they were ringing so true for me today - so much going on, but such wonderful things - all to be celebrated! Being so busy over the last few weeks, I need to stop and think about how wonderful our life is right now and that we are being showered with blessings and good things every day, even if it feels like chaos.
We moved into our beautiful, new house this weekend! Josh worked so hard to have it finished before the baby came, and with just over 2 weeks until due date, we moved in! (pictures to come). My hard-working husband rarely showed his stress, but I am sure having a 21/2 year old and a very pregnant wife wanting to nest, he was really feeling the pressure! He was miraculous, standing by me, my moods, pregnant freak-outs and all!
Like the timing was meant to be, we had our 38 week ultrasound yesterday to see if the baby was in fact still HUGE, and yes, he or she is still following in the footsteps of Daddy and is very big. The ultrasound technician is estimating that the baby is already over 9 lbs with 2 weeks to go until due date, so we have scheduled to induce on Tuesday, January 29, 2013. We are over the moon excited and I am working on settling into the idea of having a big baby!
As I am sure all mothers feel as they are expecting the arrival of their second child, I am very emotional about Libby and bringing a baby into her life. I am cherishing every second with her, wanting to hold her and snuggle with her at all times, and keep her as my baby as long as I can. I've had to stop carrying her as much as I want to, and putting her to bed is becoming quite difficult, but I do it anyway - I just can't stop! Libby does talk about the baby and what she is going to do to help with the baby, but I can only hope that she does as well as possible! She gives things to my belly for the baby, like passies and toys, so I hope that continues! Last night she lifted up my shirt and gave her sippy cup of milk to the baby because I told her babies only drink milk! Big Sister here we come!!!!
We look forward to sharing the news of our precious second child next week!
