One of my pregnancy apps told me this morning that there are only 80 more days until Connor is due! How can that be possible?! Seems like just yesterday we were cautiously excited and anxious to finish the first trimester. :P Can't believe that in less than 3 months we'll have another man in our family! That's so crazy!!
I was talking to a pregnant friend yesterday and was asking her if they wanted a boy or a girl. I know that the politically correct answer is always to say, we don't care, we just want a healthy baby. That's true of everyone, I think it goes without saying. Truth be told, if you asked me at the beginning of this pregnancy if I wanted a boy or a girl, I would have told you a girl. Does that mean I'm disappointed to be having a boy? Absolutely not!! I'm sooooo excited to be able to have one of each and get to experience all the differences in having a little boy and a little girl. :) Since finding out that we are having a boy (which I thought all along that I was) it's been difficult to imagine things any other way. Though he's not here yet, Connor is very much a part of our family already. :)
When Michael and I were giving Avery a bath last night (well, let's be real, when Michael was giving her a bath and I was enjoying watching her play) we were talking about how small she used to be and how much she's grown in the past 16 months. Michael was showing me on his arm and finger how she used to fit between his hand and elbow, and how her foot was the size of one digit of his thumb. It's so crazy how big she's gotten!
It has been a delight watching her grow and learn. She is so much fun! I get giddy as she learns new things! I truly have the best job ever getting to care for her each day! And yes, it can be exhausting (especially while I'm pregnant) and I can be ready for a break by the end of the day, but it is such a wonderful experience getting to watch her grow up each and every day! I am so thankful for Michael and his job. He makes enough that our family can survive. He allows me the opportunity to stay home with our babies. I'm also thankful for my job. It gets me out of the house here and there, it gives our family a little extra income, and my bosses work so well with me and my schedule. :) Everything has lined up perfectly to allow me this chance to raise my own babies.
I feel like I'm not prepared for Connor's arrival. His closet is still virtually empty. Sis and Adam said we can borrow Dayton's old baby clothes since the seasons will match up appropriately. But we haven't gone over to get them, and they haven't brought them over. So poor Connor has 4 little outfits in his closet. Avery's closet was overflowing around this time during my pregnancy with her. But with 2 babies here at the house to watch, I don't have nearly the opportunity to get out and get Connor's clothes taken care of. *sigh* Oh well, 80 more days, right? ;) I'm sure I'll find the time eventually... :P
