"I want to see my baby brother!"

Over the past few weeks as my belly has been rapidly expanding, Carson has taken a huge interest in talking to his baby brother. When he wakes up in the morning, he comes into our room and wants to sing to his brother and see him. I have to admit, it really is the sweetest thing. The connection they already have as brothers is so unique. 

When the baby kicks and moves, Carson likes to see that too. I'm glad that Carson is old enough to experience this with me. He seems to understand what's going on. I've always tried to explain things to him as much as I can. We want to include him in this experience as much as possible. I've made a point not to be constantly talking about the baby. I never want Carson to feel like he's being replaced or not as special as the new baby. Everything he's doing is on his own accord. That's what makes is so amazing to me. As a parent expecting the unexpected is something that I do often. Carson constantly says and does things I can't believe. 

He touches the baby and says he loves his baby brother. He sings songs to him and shares his food and toys with him. I just hope that it all continues when the baby is actually here in a few more weeks. 

These are some of the special moments as a Mother, I'll never forget and always cherish. I'm very greatful for the gifts I've been given.
