4 weeks and counting!

I'm not usually one to post pictures of myself in this sort of way, but I couldn't resist.
I think there is something truly beautiful about pregnancy, motherhood, and children. I can't believe how big my little girl is and that we are waiting for our newest baby girl to arrive in just 4 weeks. Motherhood is the greatest blessing in my life. It is what makes me smile, laugh, and cry. It is my lunch date, my dancing partner, my playmate, and my best friend. I can not think of anything greater in this world.
We can't wait to meet you sweet baby girl.

This is me posting...

Some of you have asked why I have not posted forever. Well mostly because I have not been taking any pictures and because all have to talk about right now is my expanding belly and potty training. I can feel the sides of my stomach stretching as I type. I am tired, uncomfortable, anxious and just plain sick of potty training!! Who ever says that potty training only takes a good week must have a model child because it has not been so for me! I had in my head that Sage would be good and potty trained by the time our baby arrives but now I am not too sure. Does anyone have a secret that I don't know about! Suggestions welcomed!
I am so excited that we only have about 6 weeks to go until our baby is here! I will be induced on March 22 if she hasn't come by then! I have been getting baby clothes ready, washing baby gear, and preping the nursery! I can't wait to bring another sweet spirit into our home. There is something about a new baby that is so sweet and so heavenly. Sage talks about her all the time. She gives my belly hugs and kisses and is so excited to take the baby with us places this summer. I think that she will be such a good, sweet big sister. It will be fun to see how she reacts when the baby is actually here! The second pregnancy has been so different for me. My body hurts and I have had my fair share of braxton hicks and now I have pains that shoot down my thighs. So fun!!!
