It's hard to find words to adequately describe the love a mother feels for her son. The day Brody came into this world was one that forever changed me. And I thank my Heavenly Father each and every day for the sweet blessing that is my brown-eyed boy. We have had so much fun together each day as we have grown and learned together and especially lately as we have explored our new home together. I am so grateful to have him as my little sidekick, my little buddy. His smile makes me glow. His laugh makes me melt. His hugs and kisses are what keep me going when times get rough.
As we are approaching the date of our baby girl's arrival I have been trying to anticipate the changes that will be coming our way and trying to envision the new world that Brody will be facing.
I know things will be different. I know that we will have moments of frustration and jealousy and unfamiliarity abound at our house. I know there will be an adjustment period where things will be hard and our two little nuggets won't be the only ones with tears running down their cheeks. But I also have hope and faith that we will adjust and that my heart will grow as we bring this new bundle of joy into our family.
I am so grateful for the love and support of my dearest husband. He is my rock. He takes care of me from my most basic needs on up to the complicated. He is such an example to me of unconditional love and service.
And then there's my family. Oh, how I love my family. I have the most amazing parents I could ever ask for and my sisters are my very best friends. And then there's my friends, who are basically like my sisters. I really couldn't ask for any better.
So, baby girl, we are ready for you! Come out soon so we can cuddle and kiss and love you! Your big brother may be rough, but those whacks with the spatula and bumps from him showing you his trucks are all out of such love. I know he will love you as much as we already do.
Here's to welcoming change and sleepless nights!

Good luck Lauren! Just saw your post about going into labor, thinking about you and praying for a safe delivery!
Good luck! Number 2 is so great - a little less stressful and so I feel I have been able to enjoy her more as an infant. And it is amazing to suddenly have such love for 2 kids that you couldn't imagine before they arrive. But it is more work for sure!!! Can't quite keep up like I used to :)
I just read this post and it made me cry! You are such a great mom and those two kiddos sure are lucky to have you! Can't wait to see you all.... hopefully SOON!
