Each of my girls are 23 months and 33 weeks today. I cannot believe that in one month exactly my baby will be 2 years and that in 7 weeks I should be giving birth to our new baby girl. My baby Izzie will no longer be my baby, well, she always will be, but now she's going to be my little girl. We are already planning her 2nd birthday as my Mom will be bringing all the party supplies from abroad. I know Izzie is going to love this birthday party. We have chosen Elmo as the theme since that is her favorite character and I'm pretty sure next year she'll be choosing her own theme. As for our other baby, I have 7 weeks left!! I began my countdown at 10 weeks, but for some odd reason I couldn't remember today how many weeks I had left and when I realized it was only 7, I started freaking out! I am a huge pregnant whale, this pregnancy is definitely different from the past one. I wonder how different the two girls will be. I don't know if I ever posted that we have finally chosen a name for this baby, her name will be Sophie Elize. We were having the hardest time with the middle name, but I finally found it and my husband agreed to it.
Yesterday morning I started thinking about how odd it will be to have another baby sleeping in the crib that is still in our bedroom. Izzie hardly slept in her crib, she hated it. I being the softie that I am, gave in and had her sleep with us and boy have I learned my lesson. Sophie will be sleeping in her crib like it or not. I think I started spoiling Izzie when we were still in the hospital, she would cry and cry and I would do everything to calm her down but nothing would work. Finally I put her to sleep with me on my bed and she would sleep. I know Doctors claim that babies do not know at that young age what it means to be spoiled, but I think they do. Babies are far more intelligent than what they are given credit for; they know what feels good and tastes good, so I'm sure that Izzie knew exactly what she was given when I had her sleep next to me--comfort. I must admit that although Izzie slept between us for almost 2 years, the transition of sending her off to her own bedroom and bed wasn't bad at all. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that her bed is as big as ours and when we prepared her room for her, she immediately jumped onto her bed and pretended she was sleeping there. She likes her room a lot and she sleeps well there too. She does wake up once or twice during the night, but that is something she was doing while sleeping with us so it's nothing new. I feel bad for her Daddy because it is her Daddy that puts her to sleep and comforts her when she wakes up in the middle of the night. Every once in a while she will request for Mommy, but it's mainly Daddy that she wants. She's really becoming a Daddy's little girl and whenever I see how loving she is with her Daddy, I really miss mine. Well, that's all for this time...here's a pic of her that I took after she "brightened" herself, maybe she was celebrating her own 23 months. :)
