And then there were two,



I honestly can't believe that I am going to have a daughter later today! I still sometimes can't believe that I am a mom at all! Despite the fact that William is now 2 years old, he is still my baby boy! I often feel that I can not believe how big and grown up he is and at the same time that he still is a baby! My mom says that this feeling never really goes away when you look at your children. The past two days have been tricky and stressful. Will has had his first ever bought with croupe and additionally tonsilitis. I suppose that it is Murphy's Law that he would need me most right before I am forced to leave him. I lie awake listening to him breathe and think about how I never will again only have one baby to worry about. I don't remember life before my brother...even though I was 3 (a year older than Will) when he was born. In fact, my first memories are centered around his birth..taking my mom flowers, and other random eventst that are definately associated with his arrival. I have always as long as I can remember been a sister, it is your longest relationship they say...how strange to think of Will and Lauren as life long members to the same family. How strange and wonderful. She is expected to arrive today at 1:30 PM. We are naturally nervous and excited. Welcome to the Rich's kiddo, we've been waiting for you.
