Our One and Only...

Well, we are officially less than a week away from the arrival of your little sister, Bailey. Everyone is excited to meet her, including you. You always talk about her and you say you are ready to give her a hug and kiss:)
I am also excited...ready to meet her, see what she looks like, introduce her to you...but along with all that excitement is a little bit of sadness. We are saying goodbye to the chapter of you as the only child. I know you are not technically a "baby", you are a "big girl," we tell you that every day. But there is a big part of me that still sees you as this fresh, new addition to our family. I know it will seem as though you've grown and aged overnight once Bailey arrives. She will seem to tiny and new and fragile. You will seem so big and self-sufficient. Time flies, there's no avoiding that, but this is one of those moments when it's magnified. While it makes part of me sad, it makes the other part even more appreciative of EVERY moment we shrare. Since the day you were born you have brought us unmeasureable amounts of joy and happiness. Our hearts overflowed with love the moment we laid eyes on you. I know Bailey will do the same and my hope for you both is that you love, cherish and appreciate each other in every way sisters should! I will do my very best, to make sure you feel just as much love from us after she arrives as you do at this very moment. Below are some of my favorite pics of you in your first few months...
