Coming along....

Since my last blog I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old.....I now look way more pregnant as I am 31 weeks.  The girls excitement of the impending arrival of their little brother or sister hasn't diminished in the least.  Every time I leave they still have to both kiss and hug the Baby good bye.  The "to do" list I had in my last blog has shrunk quite a bit.  Karsyn has a new bed, we found her bedding, her room is painted and the new office out in the shop is coming along.  Should be painting the walls this weekend.  So now I feel like I should add more to it.....

*Find Karsyn a dresser.

*Move office out to the shop.

*Set up Baby's room.

*Wash baby clothes.

*Shampoo carpets.

One thing I've been working on daily is Karsyn being less dependent on me for EVERYTHING.  She has this "I want mommy to do it" attitude from getting her dressed to wiping her tush!  She has been reluctant to have Sydney or Daddy help her with much.  I explain to her often that once she becomes a big sister she's going to have to do things by herself or let Syd or Daddy help her.  We are making great progress but still have little spats once in a while. 

My "to do" list may or may not get done in these next 9 weeks.....Karsyn my fall off her independence wagon.... Of course I hope it all goes smoothly.  But, what happens, happens.  Everything will work out just how its supposed to.  Even if it doesn't go according to my "plan"....something I'm working on, let things fall as they may.  As I found out in October....we are adding to our family and God is smiling down on me and having a good laugh.
