Anticipation

Before Seth was born I had no idea how much my life would change. I was excited but naive. But when that sweet little boy entered the world we went from Jimmy and Melissa to a family. We just sat there after he was born and marveled at the amazing little boy we had created. The spirit was so strong and we were so happy. Life had brought us the little boy we never knew we needed to be complete.


Sarah came into the world much differently than Seth. Her birth was hard on both of us and she was whisked away to the NICU before I could even hold my sweet baby girl. Jimmy and I were scared because she couldn't breathe and so in a split second we decided that Jimmy needed to go with her. The NICU was far away from Labor and Delivery...so I didn't hear from Jimmy for hours and nobody on the L & D unit knew how my baby was. I was frantic and emotional to say the least....Jimmy and a nurse finally brought her to me later that night, and soon after Jimmy had to leave to go be with Seth. When everyone left it was just Sarah and I and I remember looking at her and thinking of what a tremendous responsibility it was to be the mother of a little girl. I felt the spirit strong that night....I wasn't just a mom anymore, I was the mom of a daughter.


Now I have less than four weeks to go until my little Luke is born. I have already felt such strong promptings about this little boy. Jimmy and I both feel that he is going to bring so much joy and happiness to our family. Even though I am so excited to meet him...part of me is little bit nervous. I keep wondering how it will be to have two boys. The dynamics of our family are so different then they were with the other two. This little boy is so lucky to have a big brother and sister that already love him so much. They get so happy just talking about him. I can't to meet him, snuggle with him, kiss him, and share him with my other two angels!
