I was just thinking about how this weekend will be our last Saturday as a family of just 3 (ok, 4 including Buster). We are so excited to meet Maggie, but also it feels so weird to think of bringing another baby home, as Jack is still just a baby to us. To himself, he is quite the BIG boy... talking up a storm, being very adventurous and just an overall joy!
But, to think he'll soon be our "real" big boy, and Maggie will be our little baby, is hard to imagine. We are hoping that the transition is smooth for Jack, but realize that there may be some bumps along the way. He is so used to having all of our attention, and has begun to really demand it. He loves having Daddy home and all to himself on the weekends, and our daily playdates during the week with our Mommy/Kiddo group. It's going to be a big change for all of us, but I think the most for him.
Brian and I are really going to try to keep him on his schedule, and try not to make too many changes for him, but inevitably there will be changes with having a newborn in the house, and a little sister to compete with! We hope that he will keep his same sweet attitude and fun personality. We will, of course, each take special time for him.
But, again, this is all going to be a BIG CHANGE for him, and we don't think he has any idea what is in store for our entire family next week.
Again, if I haven't gone into labor by Thursday, I will be induced Thursday morning, and hopefully holding a strong, healthy, beautiful baby Marjorie (Maggie) in my arms by the afternoon.
We'll keep everyone posted on her arrival, and post pictures as soon as we can!
