Anna and baby brother

As I write this blog I am a little sad for my little princess.  She is truly the apple of my eye.  I would give up anything for her happiness and only want the best for her.  She is my little mama's girl and always has been.  She has been stuck to my side from day one.  When she was a couple months old she did not want anyone to hold her but me, which was hard I must admit, but I also loved it. 

 Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a mother.  I had a great example growing up, and wanted to be like my mother.  I did not care about the wedding or the prom or any of the things normal girls dream about, all I wanted was a cute chubby baby in my arms.  

Anna was another gift of "Gods timing."  Tyler and I prayed many years for a baby and it just seemed like it was never going to happen.  Then one day our miracle arrived!  If Anna had shown up a year earlier there was no way I could be the stay at home mom that Tyler and I both hoped I could be.  Isn't God amazing?

So anyways... I seem to get carried away with my thoughts here.  I am sad that my princess only has 4 more days of being an only child.  She is so used to getting ALL the attention that I don't know how she will handle it.  She talks about her baby brother often but really has NO clue as to what is about to happen.  She points to all of his things and wants to play with his car seat, and his clothes but I think that she thinks it's all a game.  

Yesterday,  I was driving in the car with Anna and she was telling me about all the fun things she would do with baby brother.  Being a Disneyland nut (just like her mom), she was talking about going on some of the rides with him when all of a sudden she yells "ferris wheel!"  The funny thing is Anna rarely yells.  She is quite the soft spoken child. 

Then I said "you want to take Evan on the ferris wheel?" 

Anna said "yes!"  "O boy, O boy"  It was so adorable!

She is becoming quite the verbal child and has so many fun things to say, such as "Anna funny," "Anna do it," "O brother," and now that I am trying to think of them my brain is not functioning.  Oh yea, she makes the best animal sounds too.  Her aunt Julie (we call her eemo for aunt in Korean) teaches her the funniest sounds.  Anna does a great Giraffe and Hippo imitation.  Next time you see her you have to ask her about them.  She is also doing this thing right now where everything is "ouch."  If she hits a body part on anything she says "ouch," gives herself a kiss and then says "much better!"  Then she runs along until the next "injury."

Anna is not a good sleeper either.  From day one she never was a good self soother.  It takes a long time to get her to sleep in her bed, and then when she does she usually ends up in our bed at somewhere around 3-5:00AM.  It would be OK but she just kicks the #$%^ out of us.  Tyler and I wake up in pain from sleeping in bed with her for those few short hours.  We really should get a bigger bed but I really don't want to.  I'm one of those weird people that like smaller things.  Smaller beds, smaller homes, smaller cars, you know... maybe thats why I married Tyler, his being 2 inches shorter and all.  

Well thats all for now.  I'm out of things to write and I'm a little tired from running around all day after Anna.  This extra weight is just killing me.  It's also been hard because Tyler has been working SO much lately, it's 10:27 and he is still not home yet.  I'll be happy when he gets some down time when the baby gets here, but unfortunately his blackberry will be ringing off the hook.  I hate technology, to a certain extent, but that my friends is for another day.

Good night!!
