Big Sister

I am a little behind on doing this post, I just haven't had much energy lately. Baby #2 is on the way!! We are very excited. It all happened so fast. Garrett and I had decided that we wanted to wait until Reese was almost two to start trying, but there was a week where I thought I was pregnant. I had all the symptoms, It's crazy what the mind does. I had mixed feeling about it. In a way I really wanted to be, but then again I wasn't ready. I started praying about it, telling God I am very confused about this, and if this is what He wants for us then He's going to have to change my mind. I then told Garrett that I was going to be very sad if I wasn't. I ended up not being pregnant. I then asked God to change Garrett's mind about trying to have another baby. Garrett told me that he wanted to start trying also. We both thought that it would take a while, like it did with Reese, but no, it happened right away. Which means their birthdays will be around a week apart. It's crazy how you can plan out your life and how quickly God can change those plans. I love it. I think that God knew he wanted us to have another baby now, and he started working on me. Making me think it wouldn't be so bad if we had another one now. Then he went to work on Garrett. I love when I see Him working in our lives. He has done so much for our family and I feel very blessed.
I know it's just the hormones but the other day Reese and I were playing with her play kitchen and I was just looking at her and started crying. I got to thinking that she is not going to be the baby anymore and it's not going to be just her anymore. She loves babies but she gets jealous when mommy or daddy are holding one. I guess I worry about that. The last thing I want is for her to be jealous of this baby and think that she's not getting enough attention. She will also be older when the baby arrives and I know these feelings are going to disappear when the baby comes and I'm not going to be able to imagine my life without these two beautiful children. I know that Reese will be a great big sister and a very good helper. I'm gonna be sure to hug and kiss on her more and play with her more.

I'm excited about being able to really enjoy this pregnancy. Not that I didn't enjoy my first, circumstances were just a lot different and couldn't enjoy it like a normal person.  Now if I can get through the morning sickness (more like all day). The day I started my 6th week was when it hit hard. It was the exact same with Reese and the day I started my 12th week was when it stopped. I was at the grocery store on Monday and I had to run to the bathroom a couple times because the sight and thought of food made me wanna yak. I LOVE being pregnant but I do not love this.

She loves her baby and can't go anywhere without it

waiting on daddy to come out.
