Expanding

It's hard to imagine that our little family is about to expand. Kurt & I don't feel like it's really true and probably won't until the baby gets here. We have become so used to just our 2. It's crazy to look at my calendar and see I only have 11 days to go till my due date!
I absolutely LOVE my babies and I would not change a thing. I think people who choose not to have children are missing out on HUGE piece of joy in life. Not that it's all gravy, it is work but it is some of the most rewarding. Emmitt our big man never ceases to amaze me with how smart he is. He excels above and beyond my expectations for a first child. I love that he is so eager to help and to learn. I see his Dad in him as I watch his natural ability to do pretty much anything. He & Alaina are the best of buds, and he is so very eager to meet his baby brother.

Alaina is a peacemaker in our home. She is very willing to share with Emmitt, and for the most part is loving and calm. I am so blessed to have a baby girl. I truly enjoy her sweet little spirit in our home. I can already tell she is going to be all over helping out with the baby. She likes to tell me, "Is baby Maddox in there?" while touching my stomach, then once I tell her he is, she says, "You need a checkup." And then likes to pretend she's the doctor. She constantly puts her head on my tummy and tells me she can hear him.

So soon our little family will go from 4 to 5, and we are all eagerly awaiting Maddoxs arrival.
