All in Family
My hospital bag for Rowan’s delivery included everything but the kitchen sink! I read posts and watched videos to make sure I had everything I’d need and only ended up using about half. Plus, there were some things I didn’t packed that I wish I had. Now, my second time around, I know exactly what I’ll be needing and the extra things I can leave at home.
At 18 weeks and one day I had the anatomy scan for our little babe and asked the sonographer to seal the results away in an envelope! Easter fell just five days later and i wanted to find out the news together as a family in a special way!
The weather is beautiful today (high 80s and sunny) and it’s a very special occasion. It’s Rowan’s 2nd birthday! She loves singing “Happy Birthday”, but I’m not sure she understands today is her birthday! To keep tradition, we filled her room with balloons and she loves waking up to see them scattered across the floor. It will keep her busy for days! We also sang “Happy Birthday” at lunch and she started bawling just a few seconds in… Welcome to 2!
I’m so glad this isn’t a secret anymore!! We’re just past the first trimester and our due date is early September! The timing couldn’t be any more perfect, because Rowan will start school two days a week in September, plus we can work on potty training and transitioning her into a big girl bed before the new baby arrives. Rowan turns two March 25th, so all of these things fit perfectly in our timeline.
