We are now in single digits for the weekly countdown: 9 to go. That also means we have about 2 months left. Since the last 2 months have flown by, I have a feeling this is going to come sooner than we think.
Deviney celebrated her 2nd birthday this week and one of the gifts she got was a baby doll, complete with a bottle, bib, sippy cup, rattle, bath essentials, etc. She has been so sweet with her baby doll - rocks her, lays her down when she is "tired", gives her a bottle, feeds her "spaghetti", gives her kisses... I am hopeful this is indicative of things to come. Although, I could live without the jumping off the ottoman with the baby in arms and throwing her on the couch.
We've also been reading Deviney a book about being a big sister. It's hard to say if she understands any of it, but it certainly can't hurt.
So it seems this week more than any other week, I have been the recipient of a lot of comments about how large my belly is getting. It doesn't really bother me, mostly because I know it's true and partly because it's been followed-up with, "but it looks like that is the only place that is getting bigger". Truth be told, my arms, face, thighs, and ankles are larger than they used to be but if other people don't see it (or just want to lie to me about it), that's fine! It does concern me a bit, though, that I still have 2 months to go and the baby is going to do nothing but get bigger. The weight comes off, the weight comes off, the weight comes off (I say to myself, begging it to be true the second time around).
