well, that didn't last long, did it? i had so many good intentions to actually follow through with this plan to take weekly pictures, alas, life happens and if we've learned anything the past few years, it's that you just have to roll with the punches and shake it off.
so we're back, eight weeks later (goodness!) with another 'weekly portrait' of my girls. i'm trying to be more organized lately--writing every single thing i need to remember down in my planner--so here's to hoping i'll be able to make it from here on out ;)
hadley: little miss is on the go...constantly! her favorite thing to do is run especially back and forth in our apartment. lately she--on her own accord--comes up to us and says "hug! hug!" and wraps her little arms around us so stinkin tight and it is the most precious thing to see her choose to give affection, my heart is just bursting. her vocabulary is developing like crazy and david is starting to realize what a house full of girls is going to be like--very talkative, very busy. but we couldn't be more excited!
baby girl #2: growing like a weed! with less than eight weeks to go, the reality of having another girl is slowly really setting in. it's so weird because the only girl we know this well is hadley. so it's hard to remove her from thoughts of this new baby girl, but we are already preparing our hearts and minds that though they may have a lot in common, they are each their own individuals--with their own needs, personalities and interests and we want to meet this new baby exactly where she is at, zero expectations. yes, yes, easier said than done, but at least we're trying here! we feel both totally prepared and not prepared at all, as we have hand-me-down clothes from her big sister--with a few gaps to fill here and there, but nothing huge--but we have yet to set up the cradle, get out the infant car seat and swing from the storage and more. i'm sure we'll get right on that in the next few weeks, but part of me being at ease and feeling 'ready' is having everything just right--all set up and in the exact place i want it. but i am growing as well, and realizing that with every glimmer of anxiety or worry that comes my way, it's just another opportunity to trust the lord for his perfect provision. in the meantime, prayers for our hearts and provisions (spiritually and physically) would be greatly appreciated!
