Leah is gonna have a little sister!!!
She went with us to our ultrasound appointment a couple of weeks ago.
One way she is like me and NOT like her daddy: She LOVES doctors, nurses, doctor's offices, hospitals and all things health care related... except getting shots and the sight of her own blood...
In the waiting room she decided to see what her daddy had in his pockets... she fills up all his pockets each morning with kisses and hugs in case he needs them while he is at work. Since he went with us that morning instead of going to work... his pockets were empty.
Getting ready for the ultrasound.
She was thoroughly entertained for the first half of the appointment. We heard her baby sister's heart beat, and saw her perfectly forming little body and organs. She is the picture of health and measuring exactly on target.Leah was rewarded with a dum dum at the front desk.... The greatest part of the whole experience.
When we found out Curley #2 was a little sister, Leah first said "Awwww... but I wanted a brother!" However, you can be certain that if we had said "It's a brother!" she would have insisted she really wanted a sister. Its just how it is in the Curley house these days. She quickly came to terms with it and has already set aside a few things for her baby sister when she gets here. Leah is growing out of clothes and shoes every day lately and each time something is too small she suggests we can save it for her baby sister when she is big enough. :) It makes my heart so excited. Sisters are wonderful. Life is more fun with a sister and I am so glad she gets one.
I have had one fear... only one. What if this little one talks as much as Leah does? What will I do? Will I go deaf? Will I go insane? Will life as we know it ever be the same? I have been assured by many people that the second one doesn't ever talk as much as the first... they don't have equal opportunity. But then there is my mother's example.... I WAS THE SECOND CHILD!
I can't spend anymore time on this fear though. I have bows to make and hoards of little girl clothes to sort through! We will meet little sister in 19.5 weeks or less!
