End Of An Era
Okay that makes it sound like something that we aren't super excited about happening, and that just isn't true. But, life as we know it is about to change.
Today I just had to have one last picture of our family before we added on.
Grandma and Grandpa are here and my Gracie is likely jumping on the hotel bed and eating way too much sugar as I type in this last blog post before our hospital trip in a few hours.
I have been doing just fine today, and with an overly excited Gracie I have had my hands full and haven't had any time to dwell on the impending hospital trip or surgery. It wasn't until Garren and I left to go out to dinner just the two of us that I started to get weepy.
I actually had to hold Gracie's arms to stop jumping so I could tell her goodbye. She of course is thrilled with Grandma and Grandpa and will likely not even notice we are missing. But, we will notice she is missing. There are very few times in her life that I haven't been there. I won't wake her in the morning for school or make her breakfast. She won't crawl into bed tonight for her story or extra early in the morning for a snuggle. Good thing I will have someone else warm and little to snuggle tomorrow morning, or I don't think I will make it.
So here is our family, from March 2004 until February 2009. I can't wait to share our newest family portrait of all 4 of us very soon.
“Twas the Night Before Thomas”
ReplyDeleteTwas the night before Thomas
Gracie’s out having fun
With Grandpa and Grandma
The joy just begun.
Mommy is nervous
Daddy is scared
New baby is coming
They hope all is prepared.
The new addition will change
This sweet family of three
To a family of four
Very soon you see.
There’ll be diapers to change
Ponies’ hair to comb
Tears to soothe
Plenty to do when Thomas comes home!
Mommy worries so much
About love and attention
For her two precious babies
This is all crazy might I mention!
These children are blessed
So fortunate in life
Having two loving parents
That are husband and wife!
