Twenty Fourteen

There is something about even years. I LOVE them. Is that odd? (chuckle).

2014 is going to be a big year for the W family. We are growing by one (soonish). My actual due date is the end of March however things seem to be progressing as they did with Baby Toddler C so most likely we will be having a baby NEXT MONTH. I cannot believe it. This has been the fastest 7.5 months of my life. (That I had every intention of documenting on this blog and well that didnt happen). A new year and a new start.

I am anxious, excited, filled with wonder and fear.

I am most anxious about how C takes this new adjustment. She is our world currently (and knows it). I am hopefully that she has been raised, thus far, to be generous and caring. She loves to momma her babies and adores our animals. I hope this caring nature falls onto her baby sibling. I pray she isnt resentful or too jealous. I hope she still loves her mommy as she did before baby arrived. Is this a silly fear?

I am anxious about leaving my baby girl over night. I have not left her for more than a few hours (for work) at a time. Never overnight and never with anyone other than her father. This terrifies me. Like to the point of "Can I just have this baby at home?" No seriously, can I? I hope Baby #2 comes after the safe point and no NICU stay is necessary. I pray the delivery is smooth and we are allowed to leave as soon as possible.  Most of all I pray for health for both baby and I.

All that being said, I am excited to start this next journey of our lives together. I am excited to watch my daughter become a big sister. I am a big sister and I loved and adored it, actually still do. My little sister was my favorite toy :) She still is, even though she is a momma to three handsome men now, she was and will always be my little sister.

Of course I am excited to see my husband welcome a new member to our family. He has become such a wonderful caring father. Our daughter adores him. It warms my heart and I cannot wait to see this happen again (and again Lord willing).

So cheers to a bright 2014.
