As you can tell by the lack of postings we have no real news to share. Mason and I had a relaxing weekend filled with love and visitors. Miranda and Darren visited us on Saturday for Lunch, Movie Time (Marley and Me) and sister time (possibly the last time before Annie arrives). It was a great visit and was just what I needed to help get me through the week. On Sunday Barb dropped by with some frozen meals to help stock our freezer for when Annie arrives. She also stopped by to check in on us and see how we're doing. Another nice visit. While she was here, we got a surprise call from my Mom asking if she too could drop by with Daniel and Auntie Jackie...so in the end we got our family fix and loved every second of it. Although I am still sore and not feeling 100%, it's nice to be able to see everyone.
It's weird though, because I felt sad when everyone left as I am reminded that it may be the last time I'm "just Amber" or "a daughter/daughter-in-law" or "a sister".... I know my role has evolved over the years from daughter/sister to wife and now soon to be mother but it feel strange watching myself grow up I guess. I know in the end this will be one of the roles I am most proud of but the title is what is scaring me still. I lie awake at night wondering what type of mother I will be. I guess like everything, time will tell.

Hey Amber,
ReplyDeleteWe will always be sisters. It is scary to think that our pedicure is likely our last outting as 'just' sisters. I can't wait though to share in all the newness and firsts when baby Annie arrives. The role of coolest Auntie ever is one I can get used to.
It is amazing to see how much life will change once Annie arrives. I don't know much about the whole baby stuff, but what I do know is that you will be a fantastic Mom.
Love you and hope that you are holding out. I didn't call you because it is late. If you're up and want to chat you know where we are.
xoxo Sister Miranda and soon-to-be Auntie M
P.S. Read my post to the intervention blog...I thought of another good idea that is worth trying.
