Little Buddy is gonna be a Big Brother.
I know most people probably already know this. I have "announced" it at MOPS, Bible study, on Facebook, etc. But, just in case you haven't quite gotten the scoop... We are adding baby #2 to our little family sometime in October, God willing.
We are excited and a bit nervous, too. I get choked up and teary-eyed each time I think about Little Buddy ever feeling left out or "replaced". Of course, there is no way on earth we would ever want to replace him. But, I do fear that, after having 100% of the limelight from his family members (he's the only grandson, nephew, son, etc.) and lots of attention from friends, he'll have a really rough time sharing the spotlight. My heart breaks just thinking of having to tell him that I can't play with him or read to him "because mommy has to do XYZ for the baby". I never want to crush his little heart. I love him soooo much. I pray he enjoys being "mommy's big helper" and that he loves his sibling as much as I love my sweet Little Buddy.
So, that's our story!

Wow! He looks so grown up sitting in that orange chair. I'm sure he will love being a big brother.
Congrats!!! Can't wait to see some belly shots and "watch" you go through this progress. Yeah for new babies!
I know exactly how you feel! I think we just need to remember how adaptable kids really are. I don't think there will ever be a doubt in his mind how much you love him. . .3 more weeks until my due date and I just can't wait until I don't have this big belly so that I can cuddle with my JJ without something in the way! JJ was 18 months old when I got pregnant and now he's 27 months old. He's changed a lot since then. We've talked alot about his baby sister coming and I think it's helped. . .I hope! I think what helped me was just molding my mindset to enjoy the time I have with Joshua while he's my only child. Let's both live in the present, shall we? =) I'm so happy for you!
