In Between

Myself and Shane have always wanted a family. And we have one, myself, Shane and Isabelle have now fallen into a beautiful routine that we both enjoy thoroughly. Isabelle loves having her mommy and daddy time and generally, the daily routine has become a second nature for us. In general, it is easy for us. Now here I am, a few weeks before my due date and a looming induction date over me, and I know that this could very well be our last day in this routine. I go to the doctor tomorrow and he is going to be putting me on the induction list. We have no idea if the induction will take a day or a week but either way Abby is coming and she is coming soon. All I have prayed for is this baby to come and come soon. And now here I am a possible day before she will arrive and I am nervous, excited, and very nostalgic if that makes sense.

My beautiful daughter, is not going to be an only child anymore. WOW. Saying it sure does make the difference. You see when we got pregnant with Abby, it was exciting but as a mother you do morn the loss of the time you get to spend one on one with your only child. I know she is going to be a wonderful big sister. She actually acknowledged Abby today when I asked her if she was going to have a baby sister she responded with "YEP, Name Abigail" so she does know that something is coming, and I think she's getting the idea that it is going to change our lives. But I don't think she understands to what degree. I think the adjustment is going to affect myself and Shane more. So tonight we are going to make some home movies, take some pictures, play some games and tuck our daughter in for possibly the last time before Mommy has a baby.
Cherish these moments. This has been the quickest 9 months of my life.
