A Mommy's Heart

26 weeks

Here is our little guy who we are planning on welcoming to our family in June! In fact, on March 31st, the doctor and I will decide on a date between May 31st-June
3rd for him to be delivered. The time is going by fast at this point!! We are anxious to have him here with us, yet we know this experience will be quite different from last time. Dave and I feel more confident as parents, yet we have another little one to think about who will have needs that will still need to be met. It seems like lately I have been thinking about my last few months with just J. For 3 years, it has been just us while Dave was working. We have had so much fun together, yet we are getting ready to give him such a special gift...a sibling...a brother! My eyes have been closely watching J for these three years, savoring many of our special moments, but also tracking his development. I am praying I can do this equally as well for baby #2, all while staying attentive to my firstborn. Most of the moms I have talked to went through these very same emotions. I remind myself of this often and remember the blessing it is to watch your children learn and grow in the way they should (even if it makes Mommy a little weepy!). I am so thankful for the bond that I have with J, and the fact that I know him so very well. Both of these boys have grabbed their mommy's heart in a way that once again points to a love that can only come from one place...Heaven!
