Time is up!

Okay so I'm not the best at blogging, I will try to work on that. But I love my family and have to share some thoughts. My due date is in two days (Nov 4th) and we are preparing as much as we can for this little man to join our family. Lizzie was eight days late so I'm trying to wait patiently for this baby boy to come! I have to laugh, lots of people have been asking me if I meant to get pregnant so soon again, ie if this was a mistake. I know that people mean well when saying this but it's weird to me. What's wrong with having your children close together? Why is it such a popular trend these days to wait three or four years in between? Why does it matter to everyone? I want mine close together, you may want yours spread apart... It's a personal choice! Yes I intended to get pregnant even though Lizzie is only 16 months old. I know lots of people think I'm crazy (or brave...) but I'm excited! I'm sure it will be hard. I'm sure it will be an adjustment. I'm sure we will love every minute of it. The anticipation of him joining our family any day now is overwhelming! Lizzie is going to be an incredible big sister. She has had lots of practice with babies already and I'm sure she will adore this baby boy. Aaron is on pins and needles waiting for him also! Working full time and being a full time student has Aaron super busy but he can't wait to have a son. We are feeling very blessed at this time. Not only do we have an awesome daughter but we will soon have a son!
I think that's all I have to say right now. Lets hope these contractions pick up quick and we get this little angel out into the world! I'll try not to take too long to blog about his birth! Wish us luck!

  1. I'm excited you are blogging! having our first two close together (ours were 20 months apart) was pretty great! the first couple of months- zeb- our oldest had some MAJOR tantrums- but I think it's just because he entered the terrible twos a little early with the arrival of baby and wasn't able to express himself well. Now they have each other and it is HEAVEN!! I did wait a little longer for the third- and it was pretty nice :) But really- for me going from 1 to 2 wasn't bad at all! I was a little bored with 1 kid :)

  2. I can't wait to have Pear join the family! I'm just so excited that I get to be here for it this time and not 5,000 miles away. I promise I'm not going to announce I'm pregnant as soon as you pop him out. I know that's been our trend but I'm breaking it! LOVE YOU.
