Being super pregnant these days, trying to entertain a toddler while resting aching bones carrying a baby almost-ready to emerge... this is what we came up with today.
Lots of creative and interactive play (with some intentional home-educating mixed in) that allowed her to feel accomplished while Momma was able to stay OFF her feet.
Last week I was anxious for relief of my body to give birth (the irony)
This week I am clinging to these last moments of it being a parent to just one.
A toddler. Eager to work with her hands. A brain that doesn't stop with a mouth that constantly spills its contents. Little hands that rub my swollen belly and gently remind me "Bump is going to be born soon."
S-A-V-O-R these moments.
These fleeting days when I get to rub her back to sleep during naptime.
No interruptions.
Momma + Daughter turkey's |
Cleaver kid decided to decorate the back as well. |
The day will be here soon when I can lift her up again, roll around on the floor, go for walks without pain.
And best of all- horseplay.
BEST of all {by and by} soon I will watch my little girl grow into a big sister.
A little mother, as she has been so excitedly practicing.
