Every year Alan's parents go to Palm Springs and spend a week in their time share. We're usually lucky enough to get invited and this time there was enough room for us to invite the Moser's and their sweet baby girls.

 

There were a ton of ducks on the property and needless to say HJ was in heaven. That little dude would get so excited every time he saw them, and we even managed to feed them until security came and made us stop.

 



I celebrated my 28th birthday while we were there, and this sweet girl made me a cake. It was exactly how I wanted to spend my day! Friends, family, pool and cake!

 



This is how we spent our afternoons.. completely wiped out from swimming all day! Nothing beats vacation!

 



 

As my due date creeps around the corner, I've been getting more emotional at the thought of Henry not being my baby anymore. I don't ever want Olivia to think that I didn't want her, because that's quite the opposite of what I want. But Henry has been the center of my universe now for over 3 years and we're comfortable with each other.

 

We have a schedule down and we're really good about sticking to it, and adding a baby into the mix is going to shake things up. I worry that I won't be able to spend as much one on one time with Henry and that he will feel left out. Sometimes I tend to dwell on this too much and it turns me into an emotional mess.

 



 

I do know that he is going to be a great big brother. I had some doubts in my mind, but after spending a week vacation with our friends and their twin girls, there was no doubt left in my mind. He was meant to have a little sister and no one will be able to come between the two.

 



So as long as I make a mental effort to make sure I include Henry in everything we do, I think we'll be just fine. I will be forever grateful for all this time I've been able to spend with my boy and getting to know him better as his personality that's only getting stronger every day.

 



What a blessing it will be to meet our baby girl in just a matter of weeks and get to experience this type of love and bonding again. It seems unreal that I could find more love in my heart for another human being, but I'm ready for it.
