Monday is VERY quickly approaching!
I've spent most of the last week soaking up every minute of one-on-one time with Abby that I can. We've been to the playground, had special lunches, and just spent a lot of cuddle time together. She's been a ton of fun this week! (And with Abby it's very unusual to go so long with out a rough day. Hopefully, this will continue a little longer as we have big family weekend plans!)
I've been trying to get every last hug out of this week, because I've been feeling incredibly guilty. I know in the long run, I'm giving Abby an amazing gift in a new sibling. However, I'm feeling bad about the short term. I know she's not going to get as much mommy time and I'm going to miss this time we've had. I'm so grateful for this past year we've had together, I just worry about the next few months. This is all silly, I know.
Anyway, we've got a big weekend ahead. Soccer, family trip to the mall, dinner, even possibly a pro soccer game on Sunday. (On a side note- this will complete my list of sporting events. I will then have seen every major sport live.) I even took a little Mommy's night off last night for one last bit of "me" time. (I'm not feeling so guilty as to deprive myself of that.)
It'll probably be a little while before you get another post from me (obviously!), though I'll have Dan post pics and details while I'm at the hospital. YAY!!
I'd like to think being the 2nd child is just as much of a gift to the older sibling as it is to the parents. ;) Don't worry, Abby will be fine. And if she decides to make up stories about Austin being an alien, he will get over it some day and they will eventually grow to be the best of friends! Good luck this week and I can't wait to see the photos! (provided they are rated pg and don't include any of the nasty birthing things... eek!) :)
