We’re finally getting closer to our next little one joining us on this side of the tummy. In a few weeks we’ll have two little girls. I really can’t wait to meet this new baby. I’m anxious to see how she’ll be different or similar to Lily and just anxious to get on with the way life will be so different for us. I’m a lot more tired and busy at this stage of pregnancy than I was the first time. I’ve got a cold, a lingering bladder infection and a very busy and heavy 9 month old this time too. I’ll admit, I’m ready to be on the other side of pregnancy. I’ve enjoyed this pregnancy a lot as I did the first. It’s really flown by and I can’t believe it’s almost over. Though I’m ready for to be, I feel a little sad to know that these are the last days that Lily will ever have as the “only” child. From now on she’ll only know what it’s like to have a sibling and to have to share Mama and Daddy. I’m not sure why this makes me sad. I know it may be hard for her for a while but she’ll be gaining a sister and playmate and hopefully one day a best friend. It will be good for her to learn to share us and everything else she now has all to herself and will never remember what life was like before sister. I think of how it will feel in a few years to see these two playing together and remember holding baby Lily on my tummy while sister kicked and squirmed inside. What a blessing to be given another child for me and Phil but also for Lily.
