Sisters

This morning during our morning cuddle session with Little Lu, Jason snuggled up next to Lu and said, "Let's really enjoy these last few days alone with her" Those words, those thoughts, the truth that Lucia will be our only child for just a little longer, have been very hard for me.  I've written some blogs, that I haven't finished, I've talked to her about it, I've talked to Jason about it, and I've cried.  When I get sad that Lu is soon going to be shared, I think of something Jason said one time, a while back.  "Jules, we are giving Lu the best present we could ever give her, a sister."  It is true.  She can't possibly just want Jason and I doting over her for the rest of her life.  Boring adult parents, growing old, talking about her, spoiling her...  She needs someone to spice things up!  To play with her, to love on her, to run circles around her, to brush her hair, and paint her toes, to be her best friend.
Yes,  I know that is true but I'm still having a hard time thinking about our little team getting bigger.  Bigger and better we will be but there is no question it will be different.

Our beautiful bird
You are our first and perfect love
you came into our life, a burst of light
showing us a whole new world, one we never even knew existed
because of you we have met more special people from all over the world
and those we have always known, you have brought out a different side
your eyes that sparkle, although they can't see very well, they have opened up our eyes more than ever imagined
although you are so small, and fragile,  you have rocked our world like a beautiful hurricane
soon you'll have a sibling, a little sister
and we know you will love her so
please accept this gift of a new little girl
she is for you, our beautiful baby bird
you don't need to do anything to prepare
just know that we love you and we'll never compare
God has given you to us and we could not be more grateful or more proud
Baby Lucia, our one and only baby bird
We love you so much.

June 3rd, is the due date...and soon we will welcome a new little lady to our family.  We can't wait to meet you, little one.  We can't wait to introduce you and Lu to each other.  Sisters.  That feels good to type.  Sisters.  Sisters.  Sisters.  Wow.
