Mama & Jared counting down the hours

Observant readers will notice that my head in this picture is awfully familiar to one down below... let's just say that somehow a double chin snuck into the original version of this photo. It's not cheating, since it's still my face, right? :-)

Not cheating at all. And it's a gorgeous photo. Perhaps a Halloween baby? That would be cool ....

Don't get my hopes up! My husband is getting soooo tired of me saying "ooh, maybe that's a sign of early labor..." every time my stomach hurts or I have any kind of pain =)

Don't remember if I've told you this before, but to me the most amazing thing about becoming a mom of two was watching Liam have a relationship with another person outside DH and I that was just as intense. Seeing him be sweet with his sister, seeing him be excited about her, having him be my big helper and bringing me things that I needed for her when she was tiny, etc. etc. WOW! Now that they're a little older, seeing that they have their own relationship entirely separate from me...seeing how much Anastasia adores him, how she'll ask "Where's Liam?" or "Liam's at kool (school)" or seeing how excited she gets when it's time to go pick him up. OMG, it's like nothing else. Just when you thought that your heart might explode, they do something even more amazing. Of course then there's the parallel sense of wanting to MAIM your firstborn when he takes his tool bench hammer to his baby sister's head or other things that will happen (like over the summer when Liam, no more than 5 feet away from me, pushed her down for NO REASON whatsoever, I was right here, I saw the whole thing. Man he got the world's longest time out for that!)

But yeah, parenting 2 is a different world, but not as scary as you're led to believe (no scarier than parenting 1 was compared to parenting 0, IMHO.)

kiss kiss enjoy halloween! Hope your water doesn't break while trick or treating. :)
