So if you have been following my crazy wave of emotional posts… here’s another. My brain is slowing beginning to wrap itself around the idea of having a second child. At times I find myself getting excited, more so lately than panicked or guilty. I think finally making a decision on what we are doing post Mike’s residency (staying in NC for 2 more years) and registering (Babies-R-Us) has helped. Sometimes while getting ready to go out and run errands, my mind even starts to think about what I would need to do/bring for baby girl Kiemeney. Of note, we’re down to two names- that’s helped too!
There are still times, less so now as compared to before, that I think about Mason and how having another baby in our home will affect him. Everyday he proves to me how great of a big brother he will be and that it will be okay to expand our family from three to four. He hugs and gives kisses to baby sister before bed at night. He knows where she is, I think. He’ll pick up my shirt, point to my growing belly and say “baby”. Now if you noticed I said “I think” because not too long ago he picked up the bed skirt, pointed to the mattress and said “baby”. Oh that kid makes me laugh! He is really good at playing independently too. We had our preschool interview/tour today and it went really well. He’ll be starting two days a week at a Christian school in the Fall, furthering his intelligence and independence.
So baby girl, we’re getting ready and kind of excited. Mommy went shopping for you today and you’re going to have so many cute clothes. Now we just have to figure out which room we’re going to put you and all you’re things in. Time to reconfigure the house and start your nursery. That brings me back to, should we buy another crib or start transitioning Mason into a toddler/ big boy bed? Oh, see back to Mason. Is this normal?
