So last night Eli and I were hangin out with my family over at Amy and Greg's house. Now that I have my new little nephew, Collin, it brings a whole new understanding to what I have to look forward to in a few short months. But even better than that, we woke my niece Emma up from her nap (kiddos waking up are the best!). She saw she was very tired, so she rested in bed a little longer while I read to her. When she finally came out, she came over and snuggled between Eli and I on the couch and wanted to read some books with us. She rested her head on my bosom (which is bigger now that it used to be :), and stayed there for awhile. If being in love with a niece and nephew is this amazing, how much better could it possibly be with my own child?? As I was holding Collin, though, the funniest thing happened. He was getting pretty hungry, but we were all still finishing dinner, so I tried to keep him content for a little longer until Amy could finish eating. I saw him start rooting around towards my arm, knowing that he was getting hungry. Well, he started sucking at my arm! Haha...I tried to tell him he wasn't going to get any milk from my arm, but he seemed content to suck on my shirt, so I just let him. What a moment:)
Amy reminded me that it may be time to register for baby things soon! That's a crazy thought. I feel very odd about registering for baby things, because I feel like that is my husband and my responsibility to provide for our baby, but it will be neat to go look at all the things we might need! I don't want anyone to feel like they need to purchase our baby equipment for us! Now that we are finally done with the kitchen remodeling, we can start focusing on our upcoming baby!
