A friend asked me the other day if I was getting emotional about the thought of Lucy not being an only child anymore - about the thought of splitting our attention between two kids.
I started to say that I wasn't... and then realized I was starting to cry. So, yeah - I suppose the thought of it does make me sad.
I'm eager to meet Elliot and go from a family of 3 to a family of 4.
But it makes me sad that this will be a hard transition for Lucy, and that there will be times when I can't fix what's making her sad. I guess that's true for the rest of her life.
I know it's not good parenting to try to protect your kids from heartache at all costs - but goodness it's tempting.
I was really tired today, so we hung around the house all day, napping and watching Spanish Sesame Street and playing. It was really fun.
She's such fun to hang out with at the house.
We've both been fighting a cold, so she's been a little more clingy lately - but that's okay.
I miss her so much on the weekends when I work, and I'm looking forward to being home more when baby Elliot gets here.
This post made me cry a little bit, too! I love these photos. I can't wait to meet baby Elliot! And I think, maybe having a brother will be hard for Lucy (okay, I Know having a brother will be hard for Lucy), but I also think it is one of the best gift you could possibly give her. I think she will be a good big sister.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think she will be a good big sister. Thank Goodness we often don't have the option of doing things with our kids the way that we would like to be able to do them. It's a mercy.
ReplyDeleteLucy is so cutee!!! And I think that she will be a great big sister...
