Just Us Two

As my time with just Gracie is dwindling down, I am finding myself a little more sentimental (hormonal too I am sure) than usual.

These past three days I have made lots of time to do special things with my wonderful Gracie; partially out of guilt and fear of her being left out or left behind, and partially because I am really going to miss my special time "just the two of us."

On Wednesday we went out to lunch at our favorite Chinese buffet and went to the thrift store. We also made time to play and share stories. I also painted her nails so she would be very girly.

Thursday we made "baby cookies." Surprisingly I don't have nearly as many baby-themed cookie cutters as I would have thought even though I have two HUGE containers of cutters. But we made do with Noah's Ark and baby animals. I even let her make a huge mess with icing and sprinkles and we had a wonderful mother daughter baking time together.

Today Gracie and Daddy met me in Winchester after my Doctor's Appointment and she and I had some lunch and play time at Chick-Fil-A, we went to a thrift store, and to Walgreens (which is one of her favorite places ever). We also had family movie night and plenty of snuggle time.

While I am thrilled about adding on to this family, and I can't wait to see Gracie in big sister mode; our life is pretty wonderful with her as the center of our world. So, knowing that there is just a weekend away from another arrival--it makes this week far more precious and bittersweet.

I am hoping that in a few days I will look back and find time to laugh at myself for even being worried about not having enough love and attention for two. But, in the meantime, I have enjoyed this week with Gracie being the supreme princess in my life.
