Waiting for Baby Sister

I can’t believe in 4 weeks or less there will another baby to love. And a girl this time.

When this photo was taken, Harbor was less than a week old. Cooper still hadn’t touched him and was very apprehensive of him.

But he was just fine with snuggling up to Sawyer to get this photo.

Today, I often say that Harbor is bridge in between these two. He demands love and attention from both. And rules the house.

And now a baby sister.

The boys are definitely excited but also confused about this whole girl situation. The confusion ranges from diaper changing to pink to toys that aren’t Nerf Guns or Monster Trucks.

I can’t really predict much and I plan on completely and entirely losing my mind but I also know that it will be an adventure. Our life always is.

We are getting close! And I think we have a name!
