Happy Thanksgiving!
We’re back from Fayetteville for Thanksgiving, where Robin was delighted to play with his Pops, Mo, uncles, aunt, great-aunts, great-grandmother, cousin-once-removed…it was a wonderful gathering of extended family. Robin loved everybody and everybody loved him.
Here’s a few pictures Sam snapped. A nice shot of Robin with Masie:
Robin and Masie playing “airplane” — this game was hilarious. Robin would “board the airplane” by bellying up to Masie’s feet. If her feet weren’t in position, he’d lift them into the proper airplane-boarding posture and then plonk his tummy up against them. Hours of fun.
Robin preparing for a bit of spin-around with Uncle Jesse:
And Robin delighted to be the center of everyone’s attention:
The trip was great for me too, not only because it’s always nice to see my family, but also because with so many people to amuse Robin I really got to rest and relax. I’ve been pretty fatigued lately because (drumroll) I’m two months pregnant with another baby. So we have a lot to be thankful for this year!

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you guys! I remember reading here about your Plan, so I was wondering when such an announcement would be forthcoming. Yay!

Yes, so far everything’s going according to the Plan!
We’re pretty intimidated by the prospect of having a newborn *and* a toddler, but Robin is sweet with babies (he likes to give them kisses) and I think he’ll be a good big brother.

I remember that after Charlotte was born, I wrote you about how it was a harder adjustment than I had hoped, having two kids. Now that Charlotte is two, though, we have long since adjusted, and it seems natural and normal. The benefits of having two have far, far, far outweighed the challenges. Ibby has gotten SO much out of having a sibling. It’s so heartwarming to see them playing together.

Oh, that is good to hear!

I tried counting this out. Is there any chance that your baby will be born on YOUR BIRTHDAY??

The due date is July 2nd, so a June 6 birthday would be premature. But not impossible, certainly.
