Wow. How different things are now compared to about two years ago. Derek used to come home to an exhausted and cranky wife and a less than peaceful home. The days have been a lot easier since the girls are older and a little more independent with longer attention spans. But as I think about how nice things are now, I can't help but to think about how everything will change in about two months.
I wonder if adjusting from two to three will be as hard as it was to adjust from one to two. I'm hoping it'll be easier! Makena will be 26 months old so she'll definitely be a different kind of big sister than Karis was at 15 months. Karis will be almost be 3 1/2 years old so she'll be pretty helpful and an old pro as to how to welcome a little one into our home.
I'm excited for our little boy's arrival. This pregnancy has felt drawn out. The extra weight has made daily activities exhausting. My most feared words to hear are, "Mommy hold me!" It has been a lot harder to get my gestational diabetes under control this time around which has added more stress. I have more appointments each week than I care for. But aside from all that, I'm just excited to meet our little boy ... to see what he looks like ... to have a baby again that will let me hold and smother him (Makena is so over that!). Today I'm at 32 weeks. Eight more weeks to go!!
This morning I took the girls to a bounce house place. Our playdate got canceled and since it rained a lot yesterday I didn't want to take them to a park. I thought the bounce house was the perfect way to spend the morning hours.
