Getting Anxious

Well due date is one week from tomorrow. It is getting close! You have 9 months to prepare mentally, for a child, but it seems to hit you all at once when your due date is all of a sudden here! Me and Ryan, both are getting anxious about having two kids around. Its funny, with the first one, you really don't know what to expect. You can have a pretty good idea, but until you are up with colds, feedings, diaper changes and just plain fussiness, you really don't know what you are heading into as a new parent. Well, with the second, you know whats coming. I often wonder if he's going to be a fussy baby or a happy baby. Adriana was a good baby and was sleeping through the nights at around 6 weeks old. I don't think I'll be that lucky twice, but you never know. Its sad to us to think of Adriana not being the only child. She gets all our attention, all our love, all our time and gets spoiled with little things all the time. Its sad that now, she is going to have to share that with someone else. Its sad to us that we may not remember this time very well with it just being her. Its the end of a chapter for us and its a scary one that we are about to start. I know our hearts will be overflowing with the love for 2 kids, but again, its kind of the fear of the unknown. We have been a good team, the 3 of us, but I know Paxton is going to bring so much to our little family and we are anxious to start the next phase in our lives.
