Baby Day!

Today is Baby Day! I am so excited to meet this little person. We've been washing laundry, cleaning, and packing for weeks now. We've also been trying to prepare Abby for a new sibling. She has said all along that she wants a little sister named Sasha. But, if it's a boy we will name it Pablo. I had no clue where she got those names from until Jeremy reminded me that those are two characters from the Backyardigans show. We explained to her that we don't pick if it's a girl or a boy - that God decides for us. Then, she decided if it's a boy we will name it Baby Jesus. She's a handful sometimes!

Before her life gets turned upside down I wanted to share a few things about Abby. She either wakes up in a wonderful mood or is cranky as can be. Most mornings she climbs in bed with us and snuggles for a few minutes. She loves going to her babysitter, Georgia's, house and playing with her friends. Her favorite TV shows are Dora and Diego. Her favorite food changes, but usually it's either chicken nuggets or pizza. She comes up with the funniest stuff. She likes to pretend she's the mommy and I'm the kid. When I ask her she says she's married to the kid's daddy, which makes Jeremy beam from ear to ear! She likes to negotiate everything: what's for dinner, how long until bedtime, even who will help her get ready for bed. It's really cute when she says "We can all do this together. Let's work together." to help her put on her shoes or clean up her room. She's a smart little girl, and very loving. If you ask, she'll give you a great big hug or kiss. She gets her feelings hurt easily, and sometimes pretends her feelings are hurt to get attention. She definitely has her moments when she's difficult to deal with, but for the most part she is a true joy to be around every day.

I'm hoping she loves this new little brother or sister as much as we do. I know there will be some difficult days with two little ones, but I think she's going to be a great big sister. She's been practicing changing diapers on Molly, her Baby Alive doll. We are excited to meet him or her.
