Our Last Little Moments of Three

This Monday night marks our last night as a family of three. June 9th is Baby Boy's due date, and if all goes as planned, he will be here sometime tomorrow. Please, if you would, pray that his induction goes quickly and smoothly and that tomorrow we will be the happiest little family of four.

 

I knew this day was coming (although some days it felt so far away) so I have been trying to soak up every little moment with Miss Em. She is just the sweetest and easiest little girl-she always has been, but all of a sudden she is so grown up. I told Doug the other night that I love love love this age and stage....but I remember saying that when she was just a few months old. So I am excited to be back at that precious newborn stage. I am even more excited to see Emery as a big sister. My two loves-my two worlds. I am excited for my heart to grow.

 

Because Em is so easy right now, it is hard for me to remember back to those sleepless nights of the newborn world. One big lesson I do remember is to not think that I can do it all by myself. I did this with Emery for a while and as a new mom I quickly became overwhelmed and warn out. I felt like I was a bad mom if I went and took a nap instead of watching baby's every move. But a frazzled mom does not make the best mom.  I needed to remember that even super heroes have sidekicks. Luckily I have the BEST husband/sidekick and family that I know now are always there and always will be.  Since we lived up North with Emery, it felt like all of a sudden help was gone. I am SOOOO looking forward to living here this time around. Plenty of baby hogs...oh I mean helping hands ha!

 

Doug is such a girl's Dad. Don't worry, he would agree with me saying that. He quickly embraced the pink, knows how to put a bow in, has painted little toe nails, and has some mean dance moves to "Let It Go" and "Shake It Off." With that being said, I cannot wait to see my man hold our new little man. I cannot wait for him to lead by example and help my son grow up to be just like his Daddy. Poor Doug has been outnumbered for awhile now. Emery used to watch sports with Doug but now says they are "lucky" and asks to watch Frozen instead haha....we need some more boy in this house!!

 

I have so so so enjoyed my week a half home with Emery Kayt. She has been extra snuggly and sweet and I swear she senses things are about to change. If I am on the couch, you can bet she is cuddled right up to my belly.

 

And if we are watching a movie, she wants to hold my hand. Doug and I get kisses without asking and she is finally offering up a couple of  "I wuv you Mom" or "Wuv you Daddy"'s. I just cannot wait to see her little face light up when she meets her brother for the first time. 

Tonight will be a regular night in this house. Supper, baths, probably a movie, and kisses good night. But when I lay down with Em, no promises that I won't stay a little longer and snuggle a little closer. Our last little moment as a family of three.

Hopefully we will have some exciting news to share soon....keep us in your prayers!
