Oh, the emotions that go along with this wonderful part of life. One minute I am crying in my soup about some comment that someone makes to this “words-of-encouragement love language” person. The next minute I am all giddy with excitement about our daughters having sisters. A ball of tears about some issue going on in our lives. And the next all happily emotional about some wonderful little thing that Cristiana does that is just completely cute or incredible in the eyes of her mother.
We laugh with Cristiana as she talks with “Sally” through my belly button. Rod says they will have a neat relationship, and how fun it will be to see it blossom. We also know that there will be sibling rivalry, as is only healthy. Cristiana is going to be a good big sister. She already helps taking care of Sally by talking with her, helping me pick something up when it is getting more difficult to do so with my growing girth, and “helping” me stand up.
