Wow, well where to start? We are just about 4 weeks from my due date with baby boy number 2! Due to my physical discomfort I feel ready for this to be over with any day now. Of course I want the baby to be as healthy as possible...if that means sticking it out another 4 weeks then I think I can handle that. I am sitting at the kitchen table right now and I'm watching Charlie chow down on some lunch with great enjoyment. He and I have had so much great bonding time lately and I only hope that we can continue some of our special times after the baby is born. I am sure my anxiety is pretty standard for moms who are about to bring another baby into their home...but it doesn't mean I can rationalize it away. Brian is home from his month long work trip and I am so glad! We missed him so much and now we can settle back into routine before our lives get flipped upside down.
My brother and his wife recently came to stay with us in our new house....it was awesome to be able to have house guests and share that time with them. We love hanging out but don't get to do it very often. I so want Charlie and his brother to have a great relationship with their only uncle and aunt. Brett and Liz are just two of a number of amazing people in my family that I am thrilled to have influence our children.
Honestly...not a whole lot more is going on...I am super "nesty" these days and want everything to be ready for when the baby arrives. I find myself taking great pleasure in sweeping and scrubbing and washing everything and at the end of it all I feel great satisfaction. I feel so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mommy. For a while we didn't know if it would be possible and the Lord is providing for us in an amazing way. We are making less money than we ever have and are finding out little by little our dreams are coming true. We own a home...i am home with Charlie...our family is nearby and help us at every opportunity and we find ourselves so grateful everyday!
