I can't believe there is only about ten weeks left until our baby girl comes. Being this nervous and exited at the same time is very confusing. My 3 year old very wisely and confidently asked me a favor today. That when I birth her little sister I must please do so sitting down, cause she didn't have a very good view when I birthed her brother on my knees. And she wants to make sure all babies come out head first and is up side down when inside a mommy. Hmmm think she knows way too much about birth. She is so smart and such a special girl.
