I am guest posting over at The Scribble Pad on Five Tips to Prepare for a Sibling. Feel free to comment here, or there, on additional tips you have… I’d love to hear your thoughts (my list certainly isn’t exhaustive). Here is a sneak preview of one of the tips you’ll find:
Friday is Baby’s Birthday… it’s crazy that it’s already here. I feel mostly ready. I know there will always be more laundry I can do or clean the house a bit more but honestly, I feel good (not physically, but emotionally) and really excited. And I feel like Drew is as ready as he’ll ever be. I’ve been praying that this transition will be an easy one for our whole family… and if it’s not a seamless transition, which it probably won’t be, that we’ll be given the tools and the wisdom to handle that. What more can I ask for, right? Maybe a glass of wine along with wisdom. 🙂 Head on over to read, and comment, on Preparing for a Sibling here.
I did promise you a photo of my dapper little man on Easter… here we go:
This next one is after he heard a siren (he loves police cars, fire trucks and ambulances) and in the middle of his Easter egg hunt at my parents’ house.
Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
Loved your tips! I’ve got 3 months until our 2nd arrives…I need to get my act together!
Oh my goodness, you have three months… you are fine! 🙂
I know you must be so excited!!!!! And these are wonderful tips!

Crazy excited… and is it bad that I’m super excited to just sit in bed for four days with no one expecting me to be anywhere or do anything? 🙂
This child could not be any cuter!! I think sometimes the older child(ren) can be overlooked by other family members and friends. Just so much excitement about the new baby…not intended by any means. Great ideas you’ve shared!
No, it really won’t be seamless…just a bit of exhaustion and lack of sleep. 🙂 Seriously, wishing you the best and HUGE congratulations! Such a blessed event ~

Thank you, Pat! I am already feeling keenly the exhaustion and lack of sleep… something about waking up uncomfortable or having to go to the bathroom every hour-ish does that to someone. 🙂
So excited for you! Great tips too! Pinned for later use! 🙂
Thanks, April! 🙂
Oh my goodness Drew in that suit is just too much cuteness! Congrats on the upcoming Birth Day… best wishes. 🙂
🙂 Thank you, Sarah! It was so fun to dress him up in that!
