Almost a big sister

Soon your baby brother will be born.  Your life is going to change a lot,  my life will change a lot.  I live our relationship.  I love cuddling with you and napping together.  Playing together, painting crafting, cooking, just talking to you.  We will still do all of those things of course but it won't be just you and me.... You are so excited to meet Eli.  You ask how he is will talk and what he will look like.  You are very excited to change his diaper and to dress him up.  We have organized all his clothes, hats socks etc  and put them in a little cart.  You love love getting everything out and laying it out and determining which will fit him or which will be too big at first.  Lila you will have a new best friend.  A forever friend.  A brother to love and who will always love you.  I am excited to be able to witness the relationship you will have together.  I am excited to become a family of four,  at the same time, I can honestly say I will be mourning the loss of the family of three and the days of just you and me.  We have been doing lots of fun things these past few weeks.  Children's museum, parks, an ice cream date :) a burger after the midwife appt, pedicures with Gigi library.  Reading lots and lots and snuggling on the couch.  We have been taking extra long baths, cooking all sorta of yummy things in the kitchen and of course the fun of getting ready for your brother.  Oh Lila I know you will be an amazing big sister, I love you so much .
