Change

I am not a huge fan of change. It is hard. It is usually sad...saying goodbye to something good. But hopefully the change also means saying hello to something better.

So tonight I am saying goodbye to our little family of four.
I am saying goodbye to Tave being my baby and to Weston being just Tave's big brother.
I am saying goodbye to a hand for each of my children
To quiet time with each of them and a little quiet time to myself as well. (because who knows how in the world I will fit in quiet/alone time with each kiddo and to myself.)
I am saying goodbye to the freedom that comes from your kids growing up just enough that you can DO more.
I am saying goodbye to sleep. Probably for awhile.

I am saying hello to becoming a family of five. Wow.
I am saying hello to watching Weston love our little baby and Tave becoming a big brother.
I am saying hello to organization and daily scheduling so that I can fit in that special time with each child as well as some down time for myself. (even if it's only 10 minutes!)
To watching all three of my boys grow and play and laugh together.
To seeing my amazing husband love another one of our special little blessings.
I am saying hello to even more slobbers and kisses and love.
I am saying hello to someone teeny tiny and perfect and just right for our family.

And I can't wait for this change.

I would never guess that you were not a fan of change - you adjust so well and flawlessly! All those Hellos are so exciting. And you will definitely figure out how to have down time to yourself. We're dying in anticipation over here...can't wait to hear that he's finally arrived!

I cannot wait to meet him!!! Good luck today... For someone who doesn't like change, you do it so well. :) You definitely underestimate yourself.
