BJ--I am trying to talk the hubby into going to the swap, so maybe I'll see you there.....he keeps acting like he doesn't want to go, but I know I can get him to cave, eventually....I know how to work him
Gabby--So you're expecting too!!?? Wow, baby boom going on in here, I guess
As for our boy, not to scare either of you, our little girl arrived a month early, so she was in the NICU for 6 days. Around day 5, the NICU nurse felt sorry for him, and let me take Alexyss over to a window so he could peek at her. Up until that time, he was staying with relatives, while hubby and I stayed at the hospital with this imaginary baby girl
Once we brought her home, I requested no one come by until that night, and I took her and Reece into the living room and let him hold her, and told him all about how it would be. He took it really well. I would notice him watching me while I rocked her, and such, with this longing look in his eyes, and I would let him come sit with us while I rocked. He was such a trooper about it all. Now, he's totally into the "Big Brother" role, watching out over her, fixing her a snack when he gets one, etc...He's an awesome kid!
And for the record, HE WAS OUR LIFE, so your little guy may be a bit jealous, but I'm sure he'll like the company, too!
Man, I am long winded....I apologize!
I hope I get to run into you at the swap, BJ! I'll be the lunatic running around with zoo's and acros hanging out of my pockets, :lol:
