Catch-Up

I'm going to catch up on the happenings of the Baucom Bunch on the next few posts..... We'll start waaaayyyy back in June. We celebrated Princess Abigail's 5th birthday, her last as an only child. It's amazing to me how much she's changed.

She had her usual birthday dinner at Red Robin and was so excited when she opened her Barbie Laptop from Mom and dad.

We are so lucky to have her. She is one amazing child!!!

Wordless Wednesday

My Girl

There was never a time in my life when I DIDN'T want to be a mom. I've always dreamed of having a sweet little family to come home to every night; a snuggly little girl to watch silly television shows; a chubby faced boy to watch play soccer. While my boy isn't here yet (SIX MORE WEEKS EEK!!), I have to say, my silly childhood dreams...they didn't even come CLOSE to what I have with Miss Abigail. I struck baby GOLD with that girl. I just know that when she gets older we're going to be the best of friends. I am the luckiest mom in the world.

Scared....

I'm scared that I won't have enough love to give both of my children...

I'm scared that Abigail will feel left out when the baby gets here...

I'm scared that Baby Boy Baucom will feel he he drew the short straw cause he got here second...

I'm scared that I won't be prepared for his arrival...

I'm scared that I won't be able to handle having two children...

I'm scared that there's not enough of me to fill both of their needs...

I'm scared that Matthew and I will have trouble finding time for us...

I'm scared that the only thing we will have time to talk about once the baby gets here is our children...

I'm scared that something will happen to one of the children that I worked so hard to get here safe and healthy...

I'm scared that something will happen to Matthew, leaving me alone...

Mainly, I'm scared of everything right now.

This goes away, right??

Dear Edamame

Hi there sweet baby!

I am so very excited about your impending arrival, even if I still have to wait another 25 weeks to meet you. Daddy, Abigail and I will patiently wait for you. Stay in there as long as needed for you to get here. Please don't come early like your big sister did.

When Daddy and I found out you were coming we were surprised, but happier than you can even imagine. We know you're the puzzle piece that has been missing from our sweet family without us even knowing it. We absolutely adore you already and haven't even gotten to see your sweet face yet.

You big sister is already the best big sister there's ever been. She is so excited about all the things she's going to get to teach you. You probably already know this, but she talks to you every night. She is actually the one that named you Edamame. She is so silly.

We have had some great times, you and I. I'm thankful the "pukies" have left us behind. Thanks for that. It makes mommy very happy to have an appetite again.

Thank you baby, for choosing me and Daddy. We already feel so lucky to be your parents.

I love you more than you know,
Mommy
