The night before life changes

Scheduled c-sections are so weird...one day a baby is cozy inside your belly, and the next day you know the baby will be out!

I'm sitting here on the couch (when I should be sleeping) reflecting on the past 2 and a half (almost) years of being a mom.

When Jake was born on Dec 7, 2010, I was filled with so much joy. It had to be one of the best days of my life...meeting a little miracle made from you and your hubby. A gift from God for sure. He is all boy and I love it! Having a son is a blast!! Terrible 2s aren't so terrible yet and I love watching him learn new words and learning to communicate with sentences!

Now..I'm sitting here feeling kicks and rolls and anxiously waiting to meet my 2nd miracle. After Jake, I wondered how I'm am going to love another kid as much as I do Jake. I know it's going to happen, just hard to fathom- but I already love this baby so much and she's not even out. Will she be like me? Will she have Joel's perfect nose like jake- I hope! Will she be as sweet as Jake?

I can't wait to do mani/pedis...clothes shopping...boy talk...all that good stuff i did and still do with my mom! Such a special relationship between a mom and a daughter!

Joel- seeing him as a daddy to Jake makes me tear up, too. He is SUCH a great dad to Jake. He is sooo helpful and loves well on our son. I'm excited to see him interact with our daughter.

Tomorrow my life will change. I will be a mommy of 2- A family of 4. More money, more stress, more tears, less sleep...

But so worth it.
