FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE BEEN GETTING UP EARLY WHEN JEFF GETS READY FOR WORK IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR EARLY MORNING FEEDINGS, AND REALIZING THAT WITH TWO CHILDREN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS MIGHT BE MY BEST BET FOR GETTING IN A SHOWER EACH DAY. AT FIRST, I WAS RELUCTANT TO BEGIN MY DAY SO EARLY, AS CHARLOTTE HAS BEEN MY LITTLE ALARM CLOCK FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS. HOWEVER, I REALIZED I MISSED THE QUIET OF THE EARLY MORNING, AND REALLY ENJOY WATCHING THE SUN COME UP. THESE EXTRA MOMENTS OF QUIET PROVIDE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT AND "PREPARE" FOR THE DAY. IT IS ALSO NICE TO GET READY WITHOUT LITTLE HANDS GETTING INTO EVERYTHING! I REALIZED THIS MORNING THAT OUR LITTLE MAN IS GEARING UP FOR HIS BIG ENTRY INTO THIS WORLD AND IN JUST A MONTH (MAYBE SOONER, DEAR LORD?!) WE WILL GAZE UPON HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND CHARLOTTE WILL BECOME A BIG SISTER. IT IS BOTH OVERWHELMING AND COMFORTING AT THE SAME TIME. PEACE, GRATITUDE, AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF BEING EXTREMELY BLESSED FILL MY HEART AND MIND. I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET OUR SWEET BOY.
THE BIG QUESTION NOW IS...WILL HE HAVE AWESOME HAIR LIKE HIS BIG SISTER DID WHEN SHE WAS BORN?
