Its beyond crazy to me to think that we are to the point where we are counting the days and not weeks until our newest little girl joins our family! This past Wednesday marked the 38 week mark. So now we just wait!! I've made more trips to the store this week than I'd like to admit trying to make sure that everything is stocked up- diapers for the baby, summer clothes for Ella, shoes that fit for Aubrey, and then of course a few groceries to make sure that we don't end up coming home from the hospital to an empty fridge ;-)
In my travels, I can't help but be beyond shocked/baffled/amazed at the comments complete strangers so freely make. I wish I could say that people are inconsiderate with their comments about my size or something of that nature. But its not! Instead, the comment I seem to get FAR too frequently is, "So is this a boy?!?" Followed by, "Well are you going to try again and hope for a boy?" I'm not sure, strange person, why you feel the need to assume that I am somehow disappointed that I am added another little girl to our family! Before having our 3rd little girl, I had no idea that people would assume that any additional child would be merely a hope at having the opposite gender. The thought has crossed my mind more than once to create a little necklace to wear in public that says, "Yes its ANOTHER girl. And for the record, we couldn't be HAPPIER!"
I'll step down from my little soap box now ;-)
So now we will just continue to happily wait the arrival of our 3rd little bundle of pink, frilly, princessy joy to make her appearance! Her big sister Aubrey is getting a little antsy and asks at least twice a day when the baby will come out.
