I remember my feelings before having lucy.
I was through-the-moon excited to meet her, yet so sad to experience a change in our family.
For so long, Jack was all we knew.
I was worried about how a new baby would affect him.
The first night home with lucy, I snuck into his bedroom and cried as he slept.
(I'm sure pregnancy hormones were partially to blame)
I held him and tried to promise not to forget our special times together.
But the truth is, lucy didn't change our special family of three.
She just made it better.
(Jack, Lucy & Daddy - Easter Sunday - April 24th - 4 days before brother's due date)
So last night when I looked down the hall at dad and the kids reading bedtime stories, I froze that moment in time.
Just us...a family of FOUR.
But this time around, I know better than to be sad.
I am so excited for baby brother to join us.
I know he will only make it better!

Oh Ali, I did the same thing (sneaking in her room and bawling my eyes out) with Evie after Maren was born. (Of course I had tons of guilt about spending so much time at the hospital and REALLY messing up our family dynamic)
Just glad to know I am not completely crazy ;)
