In no more than six weeks and two days or if you prefer 44 days, we will finally get to meet our little caboose, Miss Emersyn ElieeAnn VanEvera! We are all so excited to lay eyes, hands, and kisses on her but Mommy however is having alot of mixed emotions.
I am so thrilled to be welcoming another sweet baby into our home and hearts but I know this is the last one for us so that makes me a bit sad : ( I always dreamed of having four kids and there were days I never thought I would have one so I know that this baby is an answer to prayer and that we are done but still I get a little teary thinking about it. Instead I will think of all the joy we have ahead and the memories we will make as a family of six!
I look back at my girls, who will be 7, in three months and cannot believe how big they have gotten and how much we can do together and how they have grown and changed and then I get excited about what is to come, proms, weddings, plays, lessons, boyfriends, college, recitals, etc. I stare at Ian, my sweet baby boy, and am still in awe that I was at first scared to death to have a little boy and now I can't imagine life without him and all his superhero powers, dirty clothes, messy face, and overall his love for his mommy! I cannot wait to watch him play sports, shave, wear cologne, date, and so much more.
I will always miss the "little" babies they used to be but they are still my babies no matter how big they get so I know as Emersyn grows I will be sad to see her turn into a toddler, a little girl, a teenager, a woman, a wife, a mother, but just like with Audrey, Allyson, and Ian, I look forward to those moments while still holding on to my precious memories of the baby years!
I am ready to welcome this new life that God has chosen to bless us with! We have just about everything ready for her arrival and are on pins and needles waiting for her to make her grand entrance into our wonderful crazy family!
