So I haven't started packing WHAT SO EVER! but wanted to show you guys the very first thing I am sticking in my bag. This precious night gown for Abel. My friend, Lisa, let me borrow some baby boy clothes and I just took a few 0-3 month items because I thought he'd be bigger than that... I think he will be but the size they put on our update for clothes size was 0-3 months... SO LITTLE. So, I get to bring this night gown. I love it!
Just wanted to share!
(Click on the picture so you can see it better... SO CUTE!)
Several people have asked me how my kids are doing and what they think. They are all excited! The little ones are pretty oblivious to exactly what's going on. Aidan thought for a while every time we got in the car we were going to get Abel. Avery is the one that is most aware... she sees all we are doing to prepare for him and she has asked me if I did that much to get ready for them. She is 7 and she is taking it all in. But she is REALLY excited about him. When we got our travel call, she screamed with excitement and then said "Aidan! Addie! Mom and Dad are leaving to go get Abel NOW!"... so sweet... they don't get waiting.
I think it will impact Addie the most. She loves being the baby of the family. I have talked with her about how things will change and she said "I know Mommy". She'll be 4 on Valentine's Day. She tells people about her baby brother Abel all the time.
Here's the best big brother ever! He seriously is PUMPED about teaching this little guy ALL he knows.
