Sophie is very excited to announce that she is going to be a big sister! We are expecting a baby boy on June 8, 2012. Right now, Sophie is excited for the new baby to arrive. She really has no idea that her whole little life is about to change. Since we talk about babies a lot, Sophie has just started playing with baby dolls, and acting like a little mommy. When I see her play so nicely with her baby I feel hopeful that this will all go smoothly. However, when I see her chuck her baby on the floor in favor of a different toy, I get a little nervous.
So far the pregnancy has gone really well, actually it has been pretty easy. I did not have any morning sickness this time and made it through the 1st trimester pretty much just feeling sleepy. If I had not been pregnant before, I would wonder what all the fuss is about. However, I do know better, I also know that the easiest half is behind me- and I still have the much, much tougher part ahead. Since I have a strong nesting instinct when I am not pregnant, I am officially driving Carl carzy with all of my to-do lists. I want to get things done and get things ready NOW. He of course, is much more laid back and does not see what all the hussle is about.
Here are some of the things on my to-do list:
*Potty train Sophie
*Move Sophie into a big girl bed
*Finish Sophie's scrapbook
*Buy baby boy clothes
*Pick out a baby boy name
*Get baby room entirely ready-months ahead this time
*Clean entire house and take lots of items to Good Will
*Clean spare room- also known as dumping ground
*Paint deck
*Eat large amounts of cake- because really, after doing all those things you would need cake. We'll see how much stuff gets done.
I am so THRILLED you're having a boy! Congratulations. Let the fun begin now! My sister, Anna, always says, "One baby is a hobby. Two is where the fun begins." She is due with her 4th just a couple weeks after you! It's the summer of babies.
