So pretty much all of our family members know now. And of course there are the people that have seen me putting on my "winter" weight. There is no denying it there is a baby in there!! Eve is finally warming up to the idea. Of course there are the days when she wants to take back her wish to have a baby sister and wants to stay the baby forever. Overall I think she believes that the baby will come out the size of all the little sisters she has seen . . . an instant playmate. Hopefully she won't be too disappointed when she discovers that babies do a lot of crying and pooping before they grow big enough to actually play with.
I am adjusting to the idea pretty well, I think. I don't know what I am going to do when Eve is not the baby anymore. But I know that I loved (and still love) my siblings and feel that they really make my life better.
As we have been sitting around playing the waiting game Eve has said that there is a baby sister in my tummy, no baby brother. I think it is hilarious because one of her favorite people in the entire world is my brother, Andrew. Every night when she goes to bed she has to talk to me and remind me of the things that Andrew has done for her and tells me how much she loves and misses Andrew. To prepare her in case there is a baby brother in there I have explained to her that Andrew is my baby brother and maybe her baby brother could be as awesome as mine.
So some day in the middle of August another baby Roskam will be born. Since I am such a momma's girl, and I love the experience I had having Eve here we are making it work to stay here at least until after the baby is born. Ian is so good to me! Plus it just makes sense for now, there are so many jobs available here for the summertime and none of the jobs up north panned out so a job, even a seasonal job, is better than no job. And that means I get to craft with my mom! Stay tuned for pics of the adorable owl nursery we are working on!
And there will be lots of crafting since this baby is a boy!! Ian couldn't be happier... Eve will take some convincing.
