We shared our last holiday (heaven help me if I don't have this baby by Christmas) together as our family of three. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Lil' miss, but I can't help but think about the changes our little family has gone through over the last 20 months. There we were two very excited but tragically naive parents-to-be on the eve of Finn's birth. It seemed like if we just got the nursery finished in time then life would be a breeze. Boy were we wrong! While the sleepless nights, acid reflux, diaper disasters, trips to the emergency room, parenting ineptness, asthma, crying spells, hospital stays, daycare trauma and bouts of insanity brought on by motherhood have been some of the hardest life challenges thus far, we are excited to try it again with number two. I can only imagine how different our life will be in another 20 months. I didn't think much beyond bringing home a snuggly baby boy and now I'm looking forward to when there will be four of us around the Thanksgiving table. Sure, there is a good chance that two of us (hopefully not Brad or myself) will be throwing food, but there will also be a family of four where there used to be two naive parents-to-be.
