4th of July

For the fourth of July weekend we had a wonderful laid back weekend at Poppy's cabin. Kate was the only kid there but it just meant more attention from her grandparents! :)
Kate rode bikes with her babies and swung in the swing ALL day long!
6 1/2 months
Then on the fourth of July we went to Ty's parent's for a BBQ and fireworks.

CHANGE

I have never been one to LOVE change. As a matter of fact I don't really like change at all. But somethings you just can't stop from changing and one of those things is Kate. She is getting so big right before my eyes. I really can't stand it! Sometimes when I lay in bed at night I get so emotional realizing that my first baby is no longer a baby and that this stage of my life is rapidly coming to an end! Which brings me to another change that I am getting more and more anxious about... we have another little girl coming in less than a month! I really am so excited to meet her but I have literal panic attacks throughout the night trying to figure out how I am really going to love two babies as much as I love my one. I remember when Ty and I saw the positive sign on the pregnancy test saying "this is going to be another Kate" referring to how much she has rocked our world since she entered it. We both really just sat in bewilderment. But I once had a friend tell me something that has always stuck and that is:
Love doesn't divide. Love Multiplies.
Motherhood is such an amazing opportunity and I feel honored to be a mother. I can only imagine the love that our Heavenly Father feels for all of His many children. It is comforting to know that He will be there with me through it all with His unconditional love. So my little friend that has been cooking inside me..... I'm ready when you are!
