For several posts since "Miss P...Hi Jennifer!<br /><br />For several posts since "Miss Particular" I've been wanting to leave you a comment, but since I often read your posts during nighttime feedings I don't really get the chance to write one. I'm getting tired of not commenting, so finally here it goes!<br /><br />I've been thinking about you a lot lately since Baby Boy's arrival is so close! I'm wishing you all the best with the birth and in those first few weeks as a family of four. Of course it's going to be tough but those first few weeks definitely go by very quickly!<br /><br />I can totally relate on the separate beds during pregnancy -- it made a huge difference for us too! All of a sudden I was free to move/go to the washroom/blow my nose/etc without worrying about waking Steve up! We were in separate beds for the last few weeks of the pregnancy and it made our nights so much better.<br /><br />Right before Jessica's arrival, Emily was very attached to me too. She wanted to play with me almost exclusively (it really hurt Steve's feelings!) and I was very worried about how she would react to me being so busy with a newborn baby. She adjusted very quickly though, especially because she was with Steve the entire time I was at the hospital. She now chooses him over me a lot (ouch!), but I guess it's because she sees that I'm much less available now. I really hope that Evie adjusts well to having her baby brother around! She definitely seems like she'd be a very helpful big sister.<br /><br />I also notice a huge difference in quality between my Rebel and point and shoot. My Rebel just broke and it makes me so sad, especially since we just went to a wedding and celebrated Canada Day! There were so many missed opportunities for great shots.<br /><br />I've found myself calling Emily "Miss Particular" too (although she's probably not as particular as Evie ;)). It's so funny how these little girls' minds/feelings work, especially when it comes to what's important to them.<br /><br />p.s. Emily has a book called "Happy Birthday to you Blue Kangaroo." EVERY time I read it I think of Evie! It's about a little girl's birthday party and she wants everything to be pink.. They say "pink" about 50 times in this book while describing her party and such.. It's also a very nice story because it's about her Blue Kangaroo feeling sad that he's not pink too and eventually the little girl makes him feel special for being blue. ANYWAYS! It makes me think of Evie so much so that I was going to buy a copy and send it to you.. but then I thought it would be kind of (stalkishly) weird since we don't actually know each other. But if you ever see it around you should definitely take a look at it! <br /><br />p.p.s. Nap time is my favourite time of day too ;).<br /><br />p.p.p.s. FHEW! Feels good to finally get all of that off my chest. I'm sure I could say more but I should probably go back to sleep.<br /><br />Take care!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938892906009496868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735087875677760321.post-71148838438081750572011-07-03T14:58:15.790-05:002011-07-03T14:58:15.790-05:00So exciting Jen!
