I'm Back...for now

Is anyone out there still checking this blog? I highly doubt it, and I wouldn't blame you a bit! I've been gone 9 whole months!! WOW! I've been gone from my blog almost as long as I've been pregnant...and that feels like a WHOLE LOTTA TIME!!

Things have changed a bit since I was last blogging. First and foremost, our little family of three will soon (but not soon enough) be a little bigger family of four!! Riley Abagail should make her appearance in a week-ish. If I have my way, she'll be here by this time next week. I'm pretty sure my uncooperative OB won't agree. However, she'll be here soon.

I am SO ready for her to come. Yes, I'm uncomfortable. I can't sleep. My stomach seems to get bigger with each passing day. However, it's so much more than that. I can't wait to see what she will look like. Will she have hair? What color will her eyes be? How will she feel while I'm holding her in my arms.

I know I'm not a first time mom, but I sure feel like one. Madeline will be five soon, and I have forgotten SO much of what the first year or two were all about. She is just so independent these days that I forget she once depended on us for everything! I just keep hoping that taking care of an infant is like riding a bike...not that I've done that for a really long time either!

I hope to be better about blogging in the next few months. I know things will be busy, but this will be a great way to keep everyone updated on our progress. It will be a good way to share pictures of our family as we handle the joys of growing.

So, friend, pardon my absence. I'm back. I'd like to say I'm back for good, but I know myself too well to pressure myself into a long-term blogging commitment. What I can say is that I'm back...for now. :)
