Soon to be a big sis!

I am always surprised by the comments of our little Sara. She's very verbal and able to express her ideas about the new baby and what life might be like in my tummy in a very humorous way. She can't wait for the baby to come because she envisions the baby chasing her and that would be so much fun! I try to explain to her that the baby won't be able to crawl or walk when she first comes, and we'll just hold her. Sara then asks me if she can hold her too because she is very strong. And I tell her of course she can (sitting on the couch with me right there, of course). Sara told me yesterday that when she was in my tummy that she was afraid of the dark and wished she had a flashlight in there (by the way, the girl is obsessed with flashlights and absolutely loves them...until the batteries run out). And the funniest thing was when she put her ear to my tummy and told me she could hear the baby picking her nose (because that's what babies do, not big girls). Every day she kisses my tummy, tells me she loves my baby, and she can't wait until she comes out (me too)! I think that's the sweetest thing. She is going to be a fantastic big sis! Hopefully, life with a new baby won't be too big of a shock to her.
