Almost here!!

We are very excited to be meeting our baby girl in 2 days!!! (Kinda freakin' out even!) Our dr had guessed that she'd make her apperance before our schedule inducement date, but looks like our baby isn't quite ready. It's been a nice to have some extra time to get ready for her, although I've been ready to be finished with the pregnancy for weeks!! I do love being pregnant, but this pregnancy has come with some challenges. The baby is sitting VERY LOW....which people seem to like to inform me of....with her head feeling like it's going to be coming out at any minute, it's made it difficult to bend! Putting on shoes, picking up toys, putting on pants....all very hard to do!! Which is frustrating!!! But soon, I'll be able to reach my toes...well at least see them and I'll be snugglin' up on my little baby girl! I'm a little nervous for how Ethan will react to having a new member in our household. He loves babies and knows that baby sister is in mommy's tummy and we've talked about baby sister coming out and staying and that he'll get to hold her and meet her....but I don't know if he understands she'll be here to stay. and that she'll be taking up some of mommy's and daddy's attention...I am so excited for them to meet...just a bit nervous. Ethan has been our whole world, and now the new baby will be too. How do you do it?!! I guess we get two whole worlds?....


In other news, my brother Jeff left for his mission this last week. He'll be serving in Atlanta, GA (North). He has been so fun to watch prepare for his mission. He's really grown up and gained a strong testimony. He's such a good example to his brothers, nephews, and friends. He's impressed me in so many ways. I'm happy for him and his decision and faith in serving. I wish him all the success in the world!! We are going to miss him - (although he can't tell him that!) He's been such a good babysitter for Ethan, he's come over many days to watch E for a few hours while Jay and I are working. Ethan loves his uncle Jeffy so much!! It'll be neat when Jeff comes home and meets the baby for the first time and she'll be almost 2 and sees Ethan again who'll be 4 1/2!!
