Their first "Moment" as sisters...

Tonight I experienced the greatest moment yet in this journey called motherhood.

The midget was sitting on my lap watching my ever growing belly move with baby girl's jabs and kicks. Then she placed her tiny hand on my belly and pushed a little...

Suddenly Midget yelled "SHE PUSHED BACK!"

Her face had the biggest smile I have ever seen! This was a different smile than those I am used to seeing. Excitement, anticipation, bewilderment, pure amazement all bundled into one three year old toothy grin. This grin was better than Christmas!

She spent the next few minutes "playing" with her baby sister.

I spent the next few minutes fighting back tears of joy.

At the end of today all of my worries about how My Midget will handle the impending arrival of our second child, her little sister were put to rest at least for a little while.

It appears she is just as excited about things as we are- at least for the moment. God knows things can change in an instant.

"A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life" ~Isadora James

Until next time...
