Thing 2

Well Thing 2 (Aaron being Thing 1) is on its way. We knew that we wanted to have another baby, especially a sibling for Aaron. So we decided that now would be a good as time as ever. The baby is due March 6th (what a nice birthday present.) We are really excited and can't wait to find out what we are having, will the baby be a cookie cutter kid and look like Aaron or will the baby have totally different characteristics? I would love to have a little girl, but would be thrilled to have a boy...shoot I have everything that I would need. It's just the anticipation that is driving me crazy. I am however more relaxed and less worrisome then the first time around, I know what to expect and there is less of the unknown (besides the sex of the baby.)

So in the mean time we are focusing on getting the house and Aaron ready for the new addition. We are going to move Aaron down the hall to the existing guest bedroom so the baby can be closer to our bedroom. I want to deck out his room in a pirates theme, I have some ideas, we'll see how it turns out. As for Aaron's old room, depending on what we are having, we will leave it the same (sports) if it's a boy and if it's a girl...the sky's the limit :) Well....within reason and what Jeremy will let me do.

Sorry guests....you have been kicked out. Our bedroom downstairs will be our playroom/guest room. Yikes we are already out growing our home, it seemed so big three years ago.

The grandparents are beyond excited. My mom has insisted that if we have a girl, we name her Miriam, only because in the Bible that was Aaron's sister's name. I don't think so, my mom is crazy. This is why we did not tell anyone what we were naming Aaron until he was born. To many cooks in the kitchen. Jeremy's parents can't wait to get their hands on another grandchild. Pam is looking forward to taking care of the baby so I can go back to work.

Finally what does Aaron think of all this??? I think that it is too early for him to understand what is really going to happen to his world. I think once I start to show and get a big tummy, he will start to get it. He will be an awesome brother, he is so sweet with Talon's baby sister Allie. He is very gentle with her and loves feeding her, her bottle, and gets concerned when she cries. I think that he will be a big helper for mommy.

Some of my thoughts that run through my head are...will I be able to start all over again...will Aaron understand that mommy loves him just as much as the baby...will Jeremy have the patience for me when I may lose it for a brief second....and so on. I worry about these things but in the end I just need to relax, take a deep breath and take in these moments because they will be here and gone in a blink of an eye.
