In case you haven’t heard, Mike and I are expecting our third child! We are thrilled and can’t wait for our little bundle of joy. The due date it February 15th, 2012, but maybe we’ll be having a Valentine’s baby.
Noah is so very excited; he’s such a great big bother to Amelia … I am so lucky to have such an awesome seven-year-old. I’m not sure how much Amelia really understands the concept of me having a baby. We’ll tell her, “Mommy has a baby in her tummy,” and Amelia will say she has a baby in her tummy, too! But if she likes this baby anywhere as much as she loves her baby dolls, I think we’ll be okay.
Noah started 2nd grade today and that really hit me! I think partly because I remember entering 2nd grade so vividly; it was a few months after my family moved to Park City, and I just remember life seeming so important from then on. Amelia has already asked me two dozen times why Noah isn’t home. I keep telling her he’s at school, so she runs and gets her princess backpack and says, “I go to school too!” After playing together every day this summer, I think the transition of Noah being back in school will definitely be the hardest on Amelia. I was looking forward to the routine and also getting to spend some one-on-one time with Amelia before the baby comes.
Unfortunately, I’m still battling morning sickness, which is especially frustrating since it was gone by this point with both Noah and Amelia. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed that any day now I’ll wake up and feel like my old self! I will say that, overall, the morning sickness with this pregnancy isn’t nearly as bad as the last two, meaning that I’ve only actually thrown up a handful of times. Whereas, with the prior two pregnancies, this unpleasant experience occurred all day long . . . maybe I’m paying for it by it not going away. I don’t know which is worse.
