Grace, the Momma

Grace and her Abbie

So Grace said the other day, " Momma, we're gonna have to go to Wal-Mart and start buying bottles, diapers, wipes, patsies....all the things I'm gonna need for this baby."

"You're gonna need?" I ask, incredulously.

She smiled and replied, "I mean, you're gonna need."

I don't doubt that she's already preparing a list of the things she will need for this baby. I mean, she's already been taking care of Abbie (Bitty's new name) for quite a while, like a champ, so a new baby is just another extension of her mom-ness.

Like I said, part of my excitement about this new baby lies in seeing Grace in action. I'm trying to prepare her that it won't be all fun & games.....for example, the constant crying sometimes at night. Her reply, "I'll be okay....I sleep hard. You can't wake me up."

I guess I won't be hoping for her to help with those 3 am feedings.
