Not the baby for much longer....

IMG_0169

So I just dropped Brock off at Preschool, Scott is at elementary school and so all that's at home is Kara and I. I just snuggled and sang songs to her and rocked in the rocking chair for a good 15-20 minutes (this is extra long- because of the impending baby) and then laid her down for her nap. But while we were sitting there I thought about how much I love my baby girl!! She is so much my little princess and my little sweetheart! And my baby still. I totally baby her more than I should. She gets extra kisses and snuggles, I still try to carry her around to much and I totally think she deserves it. But it's sad she won't be the "baby" for much longer. I was sitting there thinking about how upside down her world will be in a few short weeks. We'll have a new baby in the house and she will no longer be the center of attention. I snuggled her extra hard as we sang her fave lullaby (I'm including the video at the bottom (Godspeed by the Dixie Chicks)- couldn't find a good version of the Dixie Chicks singing it but I really liked this one of these girls singing it (don't watch it- just listen). we just change it from "little man" to "little one" when we sing it.)

Anyways= my heart is kinda sad for Kara- I'm gonna kinda lose that special momma and her baby bond with her in a little bit. Although- I'm not going to love her any less, she just won't be my youngest anymore. I'm tearing up writing this-

I love you so much Kara and I want you to always know that. No matter who else I have to hold or snuggle, I will always always love you just as much- you're my first baby girl and my princess!!!

Cute! It's funny, I know it's different because you're on the other end of having kids, but I feel the same way for Isaak right now. Poor kid's world is going to be thrown in a blender and handed to him on a plate...your girl is super cute, and it makes me excited to have a girl too ;)!
