Growing & Changing

Apart from my tummy, which is definately growing each day, my little boy is growing so very quickly. Sometimes I can hardly remember what it was like to have that little 6 month old baby on my hip, and now he is a delightfully energetic 3 year old! I spent yesterday putting his new bed up and rearranging his furniture. He loves his 'huge' bed :) He is getting interested in what 'letters say'. The other day I told him I would help him write his name.....so cute! He was very focussed as he looked at each letter. I'll just have to take a picture to put here (cause I am such a proud mummy!)

Lachlan came to my last obstetrician appointment and talked constantly with the doctor - I think they had more to say to eachother than I did with her! He got to sit close to the monitor as the doctor had a quick look at things. She tried to get a good profile picture for Lachlan, but only really got the forehead and nose. Lachlan often comes and wants to give the baby a cuddle, and asks where his mouth is to give him a kiss :) He was wrapping his teddy up in a blanket today and putting him to bed, saying prayers with him, and going in when he cried!



10 days to go.....Jonathan and I are both ready. Jonathan will have 4 weeks leave, which will be great! I am very blessed to be married to him :) He was wonderful when I had Lachlan. I didn't want him away from my side for a second, so he even ran to the bathroom and ran back again!!!! I know he will be great this time too!

So as we quickly approach the birth of our baby my mind flashed back over the past 8 years and all that those years involved. News of others' births and losses (and probably hormones) have made me quite reflective lately. I am not sure if I want to share everything here, but I do want to get my thoughts and memories down somewhere. I know the things that we experience change us, whether positively or negatively. I have been through both, we'll see - it all began in August 2001....... for another time.
