This is our last day at home, just Drew and I, and I am feeling a little bittersweet and goopy. We are going to go here in a little while for some pictures and then home to just snuggle and watch movies..he has been taking such great care of mommy (well except when he is jumping on the bed when i am trying to rest, its like trying to relax in a bouncy castle! sigh, just keepint it real;;).. Back to the goopy…for nearly 5 years, it has just been us here at home, day in day out and for the most part, i have loved every minute and i think he has too..next week everything will change, he has no idea what is coming..and the one thing that will never change is how much i love this little boy.
Drew, you are going to make such a great big brother! How do I know?? because you already tell Henry good night each night and go turn on his night light and tell me how you are going to sing to him and protect him from dogs;;..and you kiss mommy’s belly and “check on him”..I know you are a little concerned about your toys and I am a little concerned at how you will react to all of the crying but everything is going to be just fine. I love you, Mommy

Awwww, he'll do just fine. The first couple of weeks (okay, months) are tough, but since he's older he should do better than a little one. He'll be a great big brother.

Big hugs to you! I know just how you are feeling… Although I was thrilled to meet baby #2, I felt {oddly} like I was betraying my first. But the feelings all work themselves out and its all one big love fest!
Can't wait to see pictures of your new addition!!!

Holly I have tears in my eyes thinking back to that same feeling two years ago. Such an excting time with so many emotions. Can't wait to see pictures of that sweet baby. Big brother is going to love it!

Don't know if you planned it that way, but I see the advantages and blessings of having your boys 4/5 years apart. He really will be a great big brother and not be threatened by the "screaming little machine" like a toddler would.

I remember those same feelings before our youngest daughter was born. What a precious time for you and your son. Many blessings to you.

YOur lovely post brought sweet memory tears to my eyes.
Little boys are so beautiful and loving — always remind them that no matter what they will always be brothers and that cant be changed.
My boys always remind me how crazy i drove them when they would fight saying — you can fight but it wont change the fact you are brothers and have to be there for one another
Im excited for your little family.
TTFN~~Claudia ♥
