39 weeks! Seriously. Where did the summer go? It seems like just a few weeks ago we started sharing our baby news with friends and family, now we are in the final stretch. Wow.
We've been talking a lot about our newest family member with Josilyn in hopes that she will be prepared for the changes that are headed her way. She seems to get it in the sense that she will wake up every morning and ask if the baby is coming out today or if she will be able to take the baby places. I just have such a feeling of anxiety and guilt about the whole process. I don't want her to feel like she is being replaced, but I hope that she will understand things will be different.
Ryan and I are still struggling with names. Ugh. Thankfully we have finally narrowed down our boy choices to two ... So odds are we are having a girl since we have yet to really come across any that we love. Crunch time, right!? Oddly no matter when we include Josilyn in our name discussions she always always suggests the same two names: Lola Pippa for a girl and Breckin for a boy. Although she is still completely against having a boy/brother. Just yesterday she was asking me if a brother was a boy or a girl. When I told her brothers are boys, she quickly responded with, "I don't think I want one of those then."
In other fun news, Josilyn is signed up for fall soccer!!! I can't believe my baby is already participating in team sports. Ryan and I both grew up playing soccer, so we are thrilled to get her in on the action. As a bonus a number of her little buddies are playing as well; they are going to be so cute running around in a cluster in their miniature uniforms. Better have my camera fully charged for the first day.
Josilyn and I also got to be models for a morning as we helped out a friend with her photography business. She wanted some practice with some new locations, shooting toddlers (other than her own) and preggo bellies. While I was hesitant at first, let's be honest very few preggo women feel like having their pic taken this close to the end, but I agreed knowing that I will appreciate having those pictures some day. We saw a quick sneak peak and I am super excited to see the rest! Can't wait for this baby to come so she can come capture some great newborn and big sister photos as well :)
