My Little Brindley......

For the last few months I have been stressin big time about having two kids for many reasons but mostly because of Brindley. She is my WHOLE world (and Tom). Everything I do is with her and most of the time for her. I love her so much and I just get scared that she won't think I love her as much when the baby comes. I know that this is a normal feeling for every mom having another baby, but I just don't want her to me upset about the baby coming into our family. Brindley is going to be a great help to me. Im looking forward to seeing them becoming best friends!
Anyway the last few days I have been taking pictures of her in secret....

Her she is in her new room (which i have to post about another time) reading her books. She spends a good hour a day in her room reading all her books. Usually when I am getting ready for the day or just doing mommy things.

And her she is being a artist! She loves her little table, we got it for her for Christmas. Let me tell ya she has to do EVERYTHING at this table, eat, color, paint etc etc... I just love this girl!! Things are going to be an adjustment with baby London coming into our family, but we are so excited to see her and have her in our home.

It will be a big adjustment, but you will do great and she will be fine! Before you know it you will wonder why you were so stressed :)

I ditto what Leslie said. It will be hard for Brindley at first, but give it a few weeks and it will feel like you've been livin with 2 kids forever! And don't worry, there will be plenty of time to give attention to Brindley. The baby sleeps ALOT so that's your time to spend with her. I was worried about that too & was surprised at all the things I am able to do while Tucker sleeps. Sometimes it feels like you still only have one child (I mean that in the sense that you have 2 hours to do what you want while they are sleeping. But you should sleep too, remember!) PS. I need you to cut my hair before you have London, so let's make an apt.

That's totally normal to feel that way! Somehow, you have enough love for all the kids (no matter how many you have). Brindley will be ok if you're ok. Include her, talk to her about the new baby (crying, diapers, coming to live at your house, mama staying at the hospital, tubes in your arms, funny pj's (hosp. gown), etc), and let her help!! She'll love to be a big sister! You're gonna do great!! Don't worry :)

Ditto to everything Amy said! It's true, as long as you still include her and talk with her about what is happening - it'll all work out! Be sure that when baby is sleeping to take "special" time with her doing the things she enjoys...that way she wont feel the change as much. Good Luck! We are SOOOO EXCITED for this new little London to join the family!

Oh, btw - Addy was given a table for her Birthday and acts the same way! There is something "neat" about having a table their own size! So cute ;)

Thanks for thinking of me and wanting to come visit me even while you're totally going to be in labor. LOL You gals are great to me! Good luck on Friday, I hope everything goes great for you.
