Our bags are packed and ready to go! Addison Claire has been served her "eviction notice!" We are scheduled to check into the hospital Sunday night to begin the induction process. I am excited and anxious. Now that we have an official "date" I've been pretty emotional. So many thoughts....How can I love two? How is this going to affect Parker? Do I even remember how to take care of a newborn?!
I've been given the wonderful luxury of being on "bed rest" for the past three days. I am so thankful for the sweet, precious time with just Parker. I'm pretty sure he senses something is up because he is quite clingy and wants Mommy in his sight at all times. We've played trucks, threw balls, went on treasure hunts, read books, played in his tent, watched some Mickey Mouse, baked muffins, and so many more things! Oh how I've tried to soak up every moment with my precious first born!
As our family of three all played ball before bed last night, my eyes filled with tears. Joshua looked at me and asked what was wrong. I felt guilty saying that I was sad that this "chapter" in our lives was over and that how in just a few days things would never be the same. And Joshua reminded me that I felt the same way the night before Parker was born...and how I cried saying that "this chapter was over" and "things would never be the same." And I was right....but oh the happiness the new chapter held.
As much as my heart wants to put a bookmark right here...I know that joy awaits when we turn the page. So come on baby girl....we are ready.

Such a sweet post. So excited for y'all. I trust that this chapter will be even better than the last...and yes, it's possible to love another baby as much as your first (I wondered the same thing).
