3 under 3...

In a week I'll be a mom of 3..all under the age of 3. I'm ready, I think.  Another baby to love, play with, teach,  pray for, take pictures of, kiss, worry about, check on in the middle of the night and lose sleep over.

Easton and Mel are growing so fast and getting so big, yet I still peek in their rooms if I wake up in the middle of the night, just to make sure they're sleeping cozily.  I've heard from other moms that this never stops. You'll forever be checking on your kids, no matter how big they get.  I can see that.

Melanie and I went shopping alone yesterday.  She made sure to bring her purse.  "Just girls" she said as we pulled out of the drive, "Easton's not a girl so he stays with daddy."  I love our trips together, just us girls.

While we were out we bought Easton some big boy undies.  She was so excited when we got home that she kept telling Darrell that Easton was awake and not napping anymore.  "Daddy, I hear Easton talking."  She said this at least 3 or 4 times before it was actually true.  She wanted to give him his new underwear so bad!  I'm pretty sure she was more excited about his new underwear than he was, although he thought they were "cool".

It's weird to think that pretty soon I'll be typing up little stories about another little girl.  A baby girl named Skyelynn Faith.  What will she be like?  Who will she look like?  All these questions and continuous prayers every night that she makes a safe arrival.  I can't wait!
