Preparing for Her

I find myself celebrating this second pregnancy in new ways. Sure, it is easy to (almost) forget a baby is on the way with such daily excitement (exhaustion!) from a two year old. This little one has crept deeply into my heart, and I already have a strong sense of her. While Wilson was inside me, I thought he would have a calm, gentle spirit and love music, and both are true. This little one strikes me as the opposite end-- fiery, energetic, and even a little trouble. All the makings for a strong little lady. So here she is, sheltered inside, and a little crafting project I have done in anticipation of her arrival. Wilson, on the other hand, is making plans for a new baby sister party (his idea), complete with Big Bird cake, balloons, happy birthday music, and the invitees, including new baby sister.
