My sister's little one is expected any day now and the excitement around here has been building. Maelyn talks about 'her Ian' every day. Every. Single. Day. Even her daycare is now asking daily if Ian is here yet -- Maelyn updates them every morning.
Maelyn is convinced that Ian is truly her baby and she cannot wait until he comes out of Auntie Kara's tummy. Although, she has loved the pregnancy experience -- telling everyone she meets that she has her own baby in her tummy. Maelyn will tell them, "Here the baby head, here the arms,...oh! He kick me!"
Auntie Kara's pregnancy has even helped us out at dinner time. If Maelyn is eating, we will ask her if her baby is hungry -- and most of the time, the baby wants to eat! Hehe! Maelyn will tell us that the baby better eat so that it can grow.
I think that Maelyn will be sorely disappointed when she realizes that baby Ian isn't coming home with her -- and even more disappointed when she realizes that the crib in the other bedroom is for a new sibling that is already walking and able to touch all of her toys. :S
This past month, Maelyn and I attended a shower for Auntie Kara...
Later in the month, friends and family celebrated at a tea house....
Now, we just need baby Ian! Paul and I cannot wait to be an Auntie and Uncle. We will be thinking of Kara and Cam as they enter into the world of parenthood in the next few days and sending our love their way.
