Once I hit 30wks in my pregnancy I start to count down the weeks...it's way more exciting that way! All along I've been nervous of going super early (who knows why, I was only 9 days early with Giselle) but I would 'risk-out' of the midwifery center if I'm any earlier than 38wks along. Today I started thinking maybe I won't be early after all, because I'm still not 'ready'. Mentally, that is. Remembering the pain from 19months ago still is vivid. But thankfully I realize the reward of laboring since I already have my sweet Giselle. Of course, that's another subject...Giselle! She loves attention (who doesn't?) so praying through how to transition with another baby is something on my mind. So far I have been too anxious. We will 'unveil' her new play kitchen the same day I 'unveil' the new baby to her! I am very blessed to have Nelly close by and of course my parents and Jap. It's such a blessing not to worry about Giselle while I'm in the hospital. Another blessing is the fact that Giselle loves baby dolls- maybe this will translate to baby brother or sister? If anyone has any creative ideas on introducing baby #2 to her or on functioning smoothly with two- please comment!

Katy, I can't believe you are already through most of your pregnancy! I am so excited for you all. Giselle will be a wonderful big sister. How wonderful to have your family all close by. I am longing to have that one day. You are in my thoughts and I can't wait to see some pictures of the newest little one real soon!
I will be praying for you sweet friend!
Much love,

Kate, can't WAIT to come help you out with the new little one and of course entertain Gisellie! love you!!!!
ahh it's so close! i'll pray baby decides to stay in for at least another week :) you'll do great Kates! the details of this baby's birth are already known by our heavenly father!! so comforting.
don't have advice for bringing home the second one though...sorry! :)
thanks dear friends :)
wow only 3 weeks left! exciting... we brought Riley home on Avery's birthday, so Avery had distractions around with all the extra people around. Advice.. hmm! I guess what worked for us was to not make a huge spectacle about the new baby being around.. I feel like that helped Avery not feel like she was "left behind." If that makes sense. Your idea of the new play kitchen is great. I'll be praying the transition is smooth. I know I was more worried about that than giving birth!
