....our family and my waistline :)
Baby Beck #2 will be joining our family this Christmas (December 27th is my due date)!! Needless to say (after the not so easy baby making journey this round...going on 10 months to be exact) we're very excited!!! I've heard of some parents say they were scared or anxious to tell their first born about another baby for fear of jealousy, etc.; however, our crazy, wild and vocal 3 year old, Mr. Carter Hudson himself, could not be more thrilled!!! When we told him he immediatly asked how long until baby gets here? I tried to put it in terms that would make sense; instead of saying 'around December 27th', I told him that the baby would come around Christmas time. His response (after a huge, excited gasp) - "IT'S GONNA BE CHRISTMAS AGAIN?!?". So cute! And while Carter says (and Daddy agrees) that "we need a boy b/c we already have "Snuggles" to love on (girl cousin Eva)" he also says "it's okay though if we have a little girl, we'll just have to teach her how to throw ball". He also asks us daily "when's MY baby coming?", "is MY baby growing?", "what size is MY baby now?" (we've gone from baby being a Dino Snack (C's version of gummy bear) to a Teddy Graham...can't wait to see what other size comparisons him and Dad come up with along the way!) and "how big does your belly have to get Mommy for me to know that MY baby is going to be here soon? Will your belly get as big as 'Pop's' (Rob's dad)?" - haha. It's so precious to watch his excitement grow and see his sweet little sensative side come out as he pats my belly and wants to snuggle baby (my belly) each night. He's going to make the best big brother and I'm so excited for the next phase for our little family. We are so, so blessed and again so thankful that God has given us the opportunity to be parents to another little "bundle of joy".
