Anxiously Awaiting Number Two

There's nothing like the anticipation of waiting for a baby to be born.  There's the endless questions that run through our minds.  When will it be born?  Will I make it to the hospital on time?  Will my husband make it?  Will it be a healthy baby?  How will my other kids adjust?  The list goes on and on.  It definately is a lesson in patience none of us are too eager to learn.  If there's one thing that I've learned (and believe me it was a long learning curve) is to make the most of each moment.  Life goes by too quickly and we spend much of that time wishing for the next thing to come along.  I remember thinking I can't wait for my kids to crawl, walk, be potty trained, pick up after themselves, be more independent and not always under my feet.  Well here I am years later, my kids are older and more independent and I can't help but thinking back to the days when they were young and I was a stay at home mom.  When life was simple, baking cookies and playing all day, cuddling on the couch to watch their favorite tv show, reading that book for the 500th time.  So if I can pass on any wisdom it would be Enjoy Life!  Every stage has it's own beauty. 

Roman and Marina are very excited to be welcoming a new addition to their family any day now.  Nicklas on the other hand doesn't know what he's in for.  They are an adorable family, I'm so excited for them.  I can't wait to meet their little new one.
