This morning as I sat with Ethan at breakfast, he lovingly grabbed my hand and put it against his face & I had a sudden flood of emotions run through me. I've been thinking a lot lately about how grateful I am to have had over 2 years to share with Ethan, just the two of us (at least during the day when Scot is at work). Looking back, it's been priceless - something that I'll never be able to repeat again. Ethan made me a mom, and I've loved every minute getting to
know his amazing little spirit ever since. I am excited to have a new baby join the mix, but I am nervous about the unknown - how do I manage my time so that Ethan still feels just as important as he does right now...you know the drill (many of you already have passed this milestone already). I just want Ethan to know (someday when he looks back and reads this history I've been keeping for him) how much I love him. I love every minute I get to spend with him - watching him grow and learn - he's so happy, smart and silly and my life has been so much better because he's in it. Ethan, I hope you'll always know how grateful I am to be your mom. I love you!!

What a very sweet post. Ethan will love to read this some day when he is older. I am sure it is a mix of emotions, wondering how you will show each child the amount of love they need, but it always seems to work, at least I have heard that is the case:)
Each addition makes life that much richer and is not only one more person for you to love, but one more person who will adore Ethan. Such sweet sentiments. I feel blessed to be able to be at home with my girls full-time now.
