Emily has been struggling lately with the idea of having a new baby at home. I think that she started realizing what was going to happen when we put up the crib with the BLUE bedding on it. Suddenly her bunk beds weren't good enough anymore, and she wanted to sleep in the crib again. I decided that she might enjoy going to a class that they were having for new big sisters at the hospital.
It ended up being a sibling birthday party. The nurse asked if all the big brothers and big sisters would come up and blow out the candles. Emily stood on her chair with her hand waiving in the air and said, "I am going to be a big sister!" She also announced that she is going to have two baby brothers. Haaaaahaaaa! NO!
They had cake and ice cream, watched a video, colored, and learned how to change a diaper on a doll. Emily really enjoyed all of it and hasn't been able to stop telling everyone about it.
After the class, Emily was able to go and see some of the new babies in the nursery. I think that this ended up being her favorite part. She kept asking me which one we were going to take home. Since the class, she has been having an easier time with the idea of a new baby. I guess we will see how it goes!
