Meet Baby #2! With Christmas only two days away and my grandfather home and on the mend, we couldn’t be happier to announce that we’re expecting our second baby, coming this summer. We’ve hoped and prayed that God would bless us with another little miracle and our prayers have been answered. The past few months have been a whirlwind of emotions, mostly filled with overwhelming joy and excitement to become a mommy of two. And as excited as both Dan and I are to welcome a new little baby into this world. we can’t help but be equally as excited for our little girl. She’ll one day soon be a big sister, mommy’s big helper, and have an eternal playmate and best friend. While our lives are changing immensely, our precious little girl’s is doing just the same and in ways she’s too young to understand.
After finding out the good news we started planting the seed with our little one that there was a baby in Mommy’s belly. At first, her interest was for a grand total of two seconds but now she’ll point to my belly telling me where the baby is, always following that with her amazing hugs and kisses for her sister/brother to be. As I’ve been everyday since my little girl was born, I’m in absolute awe at how big her little heart is. Ever since her very beginning she’s been my little love bug, always sharing a hug and kiss and now as she’s become a new two year old she understands exactly what love is and never stops sharing her “I love you”s and “I miss you”s. Seeing just how sweet she is with baby still inside, I can’t wait to see her reaction when she first lays eyes on her new sibling. It’ll be a day that none of us will ever forget but thankfully one that we have a little bit of time yet to prepare for.
In the meantime, it’s onto celebrating the holidays and looking forward to the new year that is ahead of us. We’ve got big plans for our big two year old this Christmas, especially since she’s well warmed up on the present opening front thanks to her birthday. I can’t wait to see her joy and amazement Christmas morning all dressed up in her Christmas jammies with her amazing bed hair. It’ll be one of the best Christmas’s yet for Mommy, Daddy, and Little Girl (and we can’t forget baby too!), we can’t wait! I’m so thankful for the new little blessing that we have this holiday and the good health and happiness of the rest of my family. Cheers to a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to you all!
Note: You might’ve noticed the absence of my gluten free food posts lately. This first trimester has been really rough so food in any form has not been my friend at all but hopefully from here on things will get a bit easier. Stay tuned for my favorite gluten free foods while pregnant, the ins and outs of my first trimester, and pregnancy bump updates and vlogs!
Sincerely,
Lindsay
