I want to talk about my child for a minute. As most everyone knows, the soon-to-be new little one was not exactly planned. We had, for the most part, decided that Tabitha was to be an only child. As such, I've spent a good part of the last 3 or 4 years brain washing her into thinking that a baby was not something that would not be good for our family and that she was much better off without a sibling. Thank goodness she's too smart to be susceptible to my earlier words or we'd have one heck of a problem! But she, in fact, thinks this baby is the absolute best thing to ever happen to us. She talks to the baby, via my stomach, on a daily basis. She's constantly telling us that she now has one more person to love. She's draws family pictures that include the baby in my stomach. She talks about everything she'll do to help once the baby is born. Yesterday, after she got her swing, she jumped off of it and pushed the empty swing because she was practicing for the day she would push her little brother or sister. She is the sweetest child in the world and her words and actions bring tears to my eyes many times a day. If this next child is half as caring as Tabitha, I will be one very lucky mom.
