February Recap

February 2010

I'm having a hard time remembering too much about February (I blame pregnancy), which is why I need to keep up with blogging. There are a few great things that happened this month worth mentioning.
*First, Samuel got his first haircut! I didn't think that his hair looked too bad, but it was a little shaggy and about to start hanging in his eyes a little. Also I figured that since he was about to be a big brother, he might as well look like a big boy. The haircut experience itself was awful. Samuel cried (more like screamed as if being tortured) the entire time. People in the barber shop were happy to see us leave. But with all the screaming and squirming, I was shocked at how great his hair looked. He does look like a big boy now. Hopefully I won't have to get his haircut again for about a year...at least 6 months.
*We also continued getting Sydney's room ready and we are really happy with how it is coming together. When we get it done I'll try to post some pictures.
*The second week in February was my last week to watch baby Micah. We had a great time hanging out with that cute kid for 7 months and look forward to frequent play dates and watching him grow up.

February seemed to fly by, especially since it is a short month and we looked anxiously to March and the arrival of our newest family member. I have to admit, that I spent a lot of time in February worrying about becoming the mother of two. I know that things will be fine once I get there, but the anticipation can make you crazy. There were so many times I thought "how will I do this with two". Most of my anxiety comes from having another c-section (although everyone tells me the second is better)and working through all the adjustments that will come with Samuel being a big brother. I just continue to pray everyday that God will get me through it and I'm trying to cast this anxiety on Him. Pray with me on that.
