Baby Preston is on his way..well in a given amount of time. A lot of changes have happened in 2014. We moved into our new house, Parker started preschool, I got pregnant, Nate got an amazing dream job, my little brother was diagnosed with a type of cancer, I got transferred back to my old elementary school, which is great news, Parker had tubes put in his ears, and now it is summer and I finally get some rest. My pregnancy is going well. I am healthy, but large and in charge. I look like I am about to go into labor. I have been advised to stay off my feet, which who has time for that with a 3 1/2 year old BOY? I am starting to get swollen from the heat....which sucks! Been here before, so this is nothing new. Luckily I have a great husband that helps me with things. I am eager to meet my little "Sunshine", but not ready for him to come out yet....I still got it in me to keep going. I am excited to have another little boy. Though boys are said to be tough when they are younger, I agree......I love that "hopefully" the boys will be easier as time goes on. At first I was worried about having two boys. I was worried about people favoring Parker or comparing the two boys. Nate put me at ease by letting me know that "we" can control that if need be. Then I got worried about loving a child as much as I love Parker. I mean, I love Parker with every ounce of my soul. Parker is my first born, my trial and error, my little man, we grew together.....how could I have those feelings with Preston? I have been assured that is will be different, but that my love for Preston will be to the same scale as Parker. I know I worry, but things are different. When I was pregnant with Parker I would journal, talk to Parker all day, rest, and really focus on the baby growing in me. Now, I rarely rest, read, journal, or anything like that. I guess it is different with a 3 1/2 year old and being pregnant. We are preparing Parker for the new baby and the way it will be with Preston. I mean I do have another child, job, and lots of life going on around me. So Parker is going from almost 4 years of being the center of our world to sharing our attention and time, this should be interesting. Parker will be a great brother. He loves to kiss and talk to my belly. Funniest thing, we told him that Preston will drink milk and how he will drink it from mommy...he literally cracks up when we talk about it. He just thinks it is so funny; I guess he doesn't remember me feeding him for about a year like that. Parker also thinks Preston pooping and peeing in a diaper is "disgusting" even though he has only been potty trained for like little more than a year. So here we go....I am going to be a mommy to two boys. Two boys I will love, teach, and show them how to love God and love people. I will not be perfect, but that is okay. I will try my best. I will be praying for my boys future wives, that they are women of faith, integrity, and that I get along with them really well. Here is to my future as a mom and wife. I feel blessed to have all these boys love me. May the Lord guide, teach, and love me along the way. CHEERS! xoxo
