Only Child.. Just About No More

Evie won't remember her life without H2, just like my sister doesn't remember a day without me.  That's the benefit of having children close in age.  I, on the other hand, am very emotional about my alone time with Evie coming to an end.  Evie is spending the night at Auntie Laura's house tonight completely unaware how much her life is going to change tomorrow- for the better!

I wish I would have more energy to have a special last day with her, but I am feeling lousy and barely can sit on the floor with her.  Here are some of our final hours as a family of 4!  (I'll be nice and include the pooch for a change)

Being silly with Daddy's hat last night

 

I asked Evie to say cheese this morning for the camera.  She walked over to the tree,
sat down, and smiled.  A-mazing
Eva and George joined us at the mall today for some labor inducing walking and playtime. 

I'm glad Evie likes the toothbrush- there are usually no crazy 4 or 5
years olds jumping on it

These two are so cute together.  Too bad George is only here temporarily.
Evie really liked him and Mommy enjoyed hanging out with his mommy.
Oh Evie.  It's been a wild journey with you.  I pray that you will realize we are giving you the best gift tomorrow, a sibling. 

And so begins our next journey...

That's right- I don't remember a minute without you, Marisa. I don't remember my time alone with Mom and Dad, but you do (I was having a blast at college). :) A sidekick is the greatest gift, I agree! Evie will be a great big sis and you will have so much love for both of them. You'll see- your heart just overflows love enough for both of them. Parker might be another story. xoxo

I felt SO emotional about the end of the Ella era before Kate was born. But once Kate arrived, it just felt right! I never had a moment's sadness afterward. In fact, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face thinking about the precious gift we were all getting in our Lizzie Kate.

I think that's just God's way of helping us mamas adjust to our growing families. I hope that it will be exactly the same for you, Marisa!
