2 lines=baby

Chris and I decided to take the leap, trying for baby #2 last month. Who would have guessed it would be a "done deal" so quickly?!! Mmmmm Hmmm. You guessed it. We.are. We will be a family of 5 with 2 kids under---dare I say....2! That sounds crazy! Claire will actually be 22 months when the kiddo arrives and she is already "Miss Independent," so I think she'll be just fine. But as I look at the two pretty lines on that bright white stick, a bit of nervousness finds me. I know it is early to analyze every piece of this situation, but I can't help but ask the question that Chris has been asking me since Claire was born--"Will I love my second child as much as the first?" I used to think he was insane asking such a thing, but I find myself in the same frame of mind. I love Claire so much. She really is my life. I live to make her happy, actually, each minute not spent on myself is spent on her. Obviously, the answer to the question must be "yes" or there would be alot more only child families out there. Right? My second worry is not being able to give Claire the attention she needs. On the other hand, Claire loves watching kids and will soon be at the point where she is ready to play with others. Chris and I both recognize the need for a playmate. We enjoyed having siblings growing up who were always available to play. To this day my sisters are my best friends. I can only hope the same for Claire. She'll have a support system like no other. So with my worries, I will also leave you with a few pictures. We are very excited for this huge change.
