Round 2 ~ bring on the pink!

Here we go!! Down that parenthood path yet again, this time expecting another baby girl! Baby 2 is expected to arrive sometime in late July, so we'll have some summer months to enjoy together before heading back into hibernation. Very much looking forward to doing it all again, even though it feels like we just did it and were just getting out of the weeds! Brian's excited at the prospect of not having any excuse to buy anything girly - I really did keep everything of Maya's when she was a baby, not just all the gear but every article of clothing to the point that I ended up giving a bunch of stuff to the Salvation Army. But it does make us feel like we have some idea what to expect with another girl - although we're most likely kidding ourselves!! Who KNOWS what she will be like.

Little Ms. Maya has some idea of what is to come, she saw the baby on an earlier ultrasound and occasionally gives the belly a pat pat or a hug. Must be all incredibly confusing to her but so far she's taking it in stride. Of course, we will see what she actually does when presented with an infant to compete for attention with. At least she'll be in school a few days a week this summer so she'll have her own thing going on. We've bought some big sister books to try to lessen the blow but still, who knows how that will go. We do have a special trip planned just for her - we leave Sunday for Disney World (right after Brian's Birthday) for 5 days. Did I mention it is 80 degrees in Florida now? Princess mania here we come!!

Taking name suggestion on this one - feel free to throw in yours in the hat!
