Life slow-mo
Basically, here's what I do: Cuddle, eat and feed, cuddle, bathe, cuddle, lots of laundry, cuddle. You get the idea. Things seem to have really slowed down to let me soak in the adorableness of our baby ducky. And she has a lot of it.

It's just a game
The other night my brother Miles and his wife Betsey came over and before long we started up a rad game of Catchphrase. If you're not familiar, you basically pass around a little machine with phrases on it and everyone takes turns trying to get their teammate to guess the phrase. It's Miles' turn, and Tim is on his team.
Miles: Ok, it rises in the morning, opposite of the moon.
Tim: The sun.
Miles: Yes, ok, now....uh.....ok, a ghetto way to say that.
Tim: What??
Miles: A ghetto way to say THAT. THAT.
Catchphrase: BEEEEEEEP
Miles: It was "Dat Sun."
Betsey: You mean Datsun? That's a car.
Everyone: (Laughing with hysteria) You thought a Datsun was the ghetto way of saying THAT SUN!?

Taking Charge
Today I am on my own. Tim left us this morning to go back to work, which means there is no one to wrestle the little guy who learned how to throw a temper tantrum this week. (Bright side, he also learned how to dance!) Mason has been Tim's constant shadow since Brielle came along. He has not been a fan of me or the new addition.
However, today has gone remarkably well. Both children have been bathed, smeared with good-smelly baby lotion, fed and cuddled. Then I figured, since both kids are clean at the same time, I better document.
Mason is ok with touching the baby, he is NOT ok with the baby touching him. After he tried to smother her with his hands and push her off the bed I decided he might need a little more adjustment time before we schedule another photo op.

A new human
She finally came! After a long, but smooth and easy VBAC (only 15 minutes of pushing after about 20 hours of labor) our little girl joined our family.

Just the Beginning
A new little girl will be joining our family any day now. Every time I think about it I am struck with this crazy reality that the majority of my life will be spent raising kids. That is so overwhelming. Adjusting to being a stay-at-home mom was kind of a big undertaking for me. Now that I finally feel like I've gotten the hang of it (and I've realized how valuable my time with Mason really is), I'm a little nervous about changing the dynamic.
That being said...I can't wait! I mean, I am going nuts with anticipation to meet her. I am so excited about being a mom to a newborn again. Little Mason was a ridiculously good baby and I'm hoping it's a trend that continues. If all my kids are this adorable, I've got it made.
