Baby brother is coming soon.

I can't believe I'm going to "give birth" (via c-section) in 19 days. Not only do I have to have surgery, but then I have to recover quickly and mother this child immediately. It's such a scary prospect, but I know it's completely worth it.

We were looking at the video of our last ultrasound today and I'm just in awe of the little face, hands and heart we got to see on the monitor. I can't believe that John and I have created another little being. Maya is such an amazing kid and we love to watch her explore her world. I just can't get over the fact that we are going to have another child to watch and be in love with. It's so wonderful to know that the love I have for John has created two children.

Speaking of our first born....she is such a riot. I have laughed more because of her in the past week than I have in forever. She has really learned how to manipulate us. She comes up to us and gives us hugs and "kisses" (which consist of her putting her cheek to ours and saying "mmmmmmwwwwaaahhhh"). It's awfully cute. The only issue is she will give you a hug and a kiss right after she's done something that she knows she shouldn't have done.....like pulling on your ear or dropping food on the floor. It's hard to discipline a 14 month old as it is and then when she is pulling this act it's hard to stop laughing long enough to say "Maya Corinne - no mam!"

I'm hopeless.

Here's to another hopeful night of rest. I'm getting fewer and fewer of them since the baby is getting bigger and bigger.....wish me luck!

New to this

So, I'm new to this whole blogging thing. I had a little website set up when Maya was on the way, but I just haven't found the time to write much now that "baby brother" is coming.

Hopefully this will inspire me to write a little and post some photos.

We had a busy weekend with several events going on at once. We went to our dear friend's graduation from TWU, a Christmas party at church, a model train show and then home for a nice evening with the family on Sunday. Whew! The photos are from the train show. Maya loved the larger trains that were laid out on the floor. She giggled each time they went by.

Not much else to report right now. We head back to the doc tomorrow to do another ultrasound. My OB thinks I'm measuring a little too big for 33 weeks, so we will see just how big little brother really is. Should be interesting.

I'll post something as soon as I can.
