Emporia

My sister is days away from having her baby, so we are here in Emporia, eagerly awaiting sweet Piper's arrival!

I have never been on this side of anticipation. Usually I am the one begging God to make it all end and scouring the internet for a remedy to induce myself.

If you have seen us together, you know the similarities between me and my sister. This is one place we part ways. She is patiently enduring every false alarm. Her hope is to wait as long as possible. I have never experienced this inside the final month. It's amazing!

On another note she steadily continues to lose weight as her pregnancy draws to a close. The doctor prescribed diet has helped that I'm sure, but in all of my eight pregnancies, I have yet to come out at the end looking any less than the size of a small vehicle.

I am so excited to watch her function in her role as a mother. With these monumental differences in her attitude toward pregnancy, who knows how she will tow the line in the great parenting journey. She has been with me through almost every stage of my parenting journey and watched me fall to pieces countless times. It will be interesting to see how she handles the ups and downs and carosel of chaos that a new baby brings to your world.

In the meantime, I am enjoying a quiet couple of weeks with nowhere to go and nothing much to do! Loooove it!!
