Looking Back
Garrett and I were looking through our books of family photos the other day. He loves looking back at past events and seeing people that he knows. This usually prompts conversations about the particular event or person that he sees. He also likes watching videos on the computer of when he was a baby. He is still the funniest guy he knows.
He wanted to look at a book of when he was very small. I like to look back on those days when I could not think of him other than a baby. Then I went to sleep and some how he turned into a 3 year old little kid. It goes by so incredibly fast. We looked at pictures of his first holidays. He had so much fun! He was old enough to enjoy being surrounded by people who love him.
Then I thought about how the holidays this year are going to be. He is really into family gatherings and playing with all of the kids. Thanksgiving will be dramatically different this year. Our second child is due to be born November 30, 2008. I have a feeling that the baby will be here before the holiday. If not, I will be the one laying on the couch hoping that my water doesn’t break on a relatives furniture.
We are extremely happy that our family is growing. We have talked to Garrett about it but he won’t understand until I start getting bigger. I have been extremely nauseous and tired. This is completely different from when I was pregnant with Garrett. I will get through this and rally in the second trimester, I just know it!
