The waiting game...

Charlotte is due February 24th, so we are just playing the waiting game around here... When I went to the doctor last week they said everything looked great and I am dilated 3 cm already. I feel pretty good, in fact I feel much better than I did when I was pregnant with Anabelle. Maybe my body is just used to being pregnant, I don't know. Because I still feel so good, I keep thinking that Charlotte is going to be late. But, since there is no way to know when she's coming, I am just trying to relax and enjoy the last few days of being pregnant.

I have been trying to spend as much time with Anabelle as possible, since I know that once I go into labor I will be apart from her for a while and then obviously I will also have Charlotte to care for so my attention will be divided. While I think that having a sibling is a wonderful gift and I know that Anabelle will love her sister, there is a part of me that thinks - these are the last days where Anabelle will have our undivided attention and have us all to herself. So I am feeling a little sentimental and sappy and want to cuddle with her all day.

Here's what we have been up to this week:


My Mom fed us lots of yummy food.














Anabelle did some painting at her easel.


Lego building with Daddy. I think Daddy has more fun than Anabelle :)

Although I understand your feelings having "been there", I know it seems hard to believe but Charlotte will bring "double" the love in the house and your fears of the change, will quickly dissolve right before your eyes ♥ Love, Mom :-)

PS, and just think, Anabelle has had something that your other childern won't, so she had a very special gift :-)
