The Beginnings
Time is growing near to the arrival of our new son. Two weeks from tomorrow our family will become four. I can't wait to hold and love Brooks. I know that we are blessed to be receiving such an amazing gift from God. On the other hand, I am somewhat sad that Emma will seem to be so much bigger as this new little one enters our family. Every family goes through this transition when the baby isn't the baby any longer. I pray that we are prepared and that God will bless our family as we joyfully welcome Brooks.
These last few days of pregnancy seem to taking a harder toll on my body than I remember from before. Our "family bed" isn't very comfortable and I find myself here on the couch blogging. Emma, however, is sleeping away. She is such a angel. Each day I can hardly wait to come home from work to see her. She is an amazing daughter and will be an excellent big sister. Not a day goes by that she doesn't say something to make me smile and laugh.
In preparation for the arrival of Brooks, my sweet husband has been getting a few chores taken care of at the house. We have finally gotten the extra bedroom upstairs put back together. It has gone without a mattress set for some time now. Layton also installed wood blinds in the baby's room and in the kids' bathroom. I am so proud of him for taking care of these tasks that some may feel are minor, but to me are very important.
Layton is such a wonderful father. I love that he spends time with Emma. The relationship that I have with my dad is something I wouldn't trade for the world. Emma loves her daddy and I know the bond between those two will only grow stronger as she gets older.
