Georgia and her Baby Brother
Have a mentioned how excited Georgia really is about Baby Brother? She is constantly asking about him, wanting to feel him, kissing my belly, trying to see if he will kick, singing to him and most of all she is so incredibly concerned about him. We try so very hard to keep the information at a minimum because, really, who needs a stressed out 4 year old?? She knows *something* is going on with him and it has to do with his heart but, of course, she doesn't really know all the details.
If you can see it she added smiles to both me and Baby Brother. She said Mommy always smiles and she thinks Baby Brother is happy too and smiling in my belly.
Today we are getting ready for some visitors. My mother-in-law and niece, Piper, are coming for a week. They will be here Friday. I won't go into too much detail about my in-laws in this post because they really deserve a post of their own. They really are that special. Jason and I are so lucky to have been blessed with families that truly love and care for us. Anyway, we are getting ready. We are cleaning and washing laundry and painting (yes, finally painting Christian's room!).
I was at the computer taking a break when Georgia comes in and asks me how Baby Brother gets blood from me. (this was a part of the conversation with her Daddy about what makes Baby Brother safe right now) So I drew a picture. And let me tell you I am a HORRIBLE artist. Actually, to even use the term artist is an insult to even the amaetur drawing community. I stink! But I drew a picture of me and Baby Brother in my belly and explained how Baby Brother is getting lots of stuff from Mommy through the umbilical cord. I even pointed out on her cute little belly her belly button and said that's where Georgia was connected to Mommy when she was in my belly. She looked at the picture I drew and got her pencil to add something she thought was missing.
I just can't say enough about her sweet spirit and what a blessing her outlook on life has meant to me. Especially during these difficult times. I sure do hope Baby Brother is happy. I'm sure he is just knowing how much Big Sister loves him and can't wait to meet him.

So stinkin cute! One piece of unsolicited advice...haha. With our 4 and 2 year old, we let them know that baby sister would have to have "tubes" on her after she's born. Per someone else's advice, we showed them pictures of a friend's baby from the NICU and all her contraptions and I think it helped our kids not be scared. It was actually a little funny, looking back, that they were more scared of MY "tube" (my IV) after giving birth and I think it's because we were so worried about preparing them for sister that we forgot to prepare them for what I'd look like. :) Sounds like you guys are doing a great job of keeping communication lines open with Georgia.
Hi Lindsey! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate all the advice! Solicited or otherwise ;)
I will keep that in mind when speaking to our children about Baby Brother and about myself! Thank you.
