{Don't Rush A Miracle}



I am starting to get a little nervous. It's too soon right?? I shouldn't be freaking out about having another baby yet. Lauren gave me attitude all day today, and I just kept thinking...in less than 3 months I am going to have another one of these "precious" children...I must be crazy! I am trying to get things in order for Baby Girl #2 to come. I ask Dean to do things for me, like raise the crib or get clothes out of storage, and he always says, "We've got time, I'll do it later," but time is quickly ticking away. (His tendency to procrastinate drives me nuts). Then there is the labor part. My last delivery was a dream (I literally slept through it--Dean claims he did more work than me) so I am afraid this time it will be a nightmare! I thought knowing what to expect this time would make it easier, but I think I like being clueless better! I guess I need to just relax and enjoy what little time I have left with just Lauren...and do things like take a nap, go shopping, clean my house, read a book, be crafty...all that stuff that won't be happening once I am a mother of 2!

Have peace of mind that you are not alone - I feel exactly this way too! I even loose sleep thinking about it. Has that started for you too? Gee, it's my favorite part....:(

I felt exactly the same way! I "nested" waiting for Kaden a heck of a lot more than with Kennedi. I guess it is just that overwhelming sense of knowing that now there will be 2! I love it now! Well, he is only 12 days old and I have had help the entire time, so maybe you shouldn't quote me on that. Get back to me in a few months! haha.

Enjoy one for as long as you possibly can! It's never the same.

Number two is great. Especially when number one starts school and if you are like me, you still just have the two. I am loving my alone time during the day with just one child. It is fun. So when the days get tiresome with two at home, just count the years until your oldest is in school and it will get you through the rough days....and you will be able to create and clean again.
