I still can't believe that my little sister is having a baby. I sure am excited for you though. Excited too that I will get to be there for her first year! My advice for you is to trust your instincts. I was amazed at how many times I just knew what to do. Knew what the boys needed and knew when there was something wrong and knew when others were over-reacting. It always amazed me. I remember one time with Ethan I knew that he had an ear infection when he was really young. I took him to the doctor. Before the doctor checked him she was assuring me that babies that young didn't get get ear infections. After she finished telling me that she looked in his ears and low and behold there was an infection. I had to laugh because after she saw the infection she offered me a job :). Mom was and still is a wonderful example of how to be a mom. You will be amazed at how many times you will find yourself doing and saying things that mom would say to us. I laugh every time I do. I also laugh at the funny sentences that come out of my mouth - ones I though I'd never say in a million years. Sentences such as "we don't wash our hands with poop" (that was really truly said to Dillon!) and "yes you may climb on the roof" (the fort roof that is).
You are going to be a great parents! I love watching you with the boys. It's going to be fun to see you with your own little one. Love you!
