So Thrilling! You will love having one of each! I had my girl first and two and a half years later, the boy. I've been having a great time chronicling their likenesses and differences, from pregnancy to present! You, Chris and Simon will be in my prayers as your pregnancy journey continues!

Sugar & Spice! I love it! How exciting to know so you can refer to your baby as "she" and "her" until you give her a name. Oh, so much more about her identity to think about while she is still snug inside. The next few months will prove to be fun, indeed. Congrats. We'll have to tell you to pink it down a notch. LOL
Here is a poem I found when my daughter was born that really said what I was going through. I don't know who wrote the poem but her words touched my heart.
I walk along holding your 4-year-old hand, basking in the glow of our magical relationship. Suddenly I feel a kick from within, as if to remind me that our time alone is limited. And I wonder: How could I ever love another child as I love you? Then she is born, and I watch you. I watch the pain you feel at having to share me as you've never shared me before. I hear you telling me in your own way, "Please love only me." And I hear myself telling you in mine, "I can't," knowing, in fact, that I never can again. You cry. I cry with you. I almost see our new baby as an intruder on the precious relationship we once shared. A relationship we can never quite have again. But then, barely noticing, I find myself attached to that new being, and feeling almost guilty. I'm afraid to let you see me enjoying her -- as though I am betraying you. But then I notice your resentment change, first to curiosity, then to protectiveness, finally to genuine affection. More days pass, and we are settling into a new routine. The memory of days with just the two of us is fading fast. But something else is replacing those wonderful times we shared, just we two. There are new times -- only now, we are three. I watch the love between you grow, the way you look at each other, touch each other. I watch how she adores you -- as I have for so long. I see how excited you are by each of her new accomplishments. And I begin to realize that I haven't taken something from you, I've given something to you. I notice that I am no longer afraid to share my love openly with both of you. I find that my love for each of you is as different as you are, but equally strong. And my questions is finally answered, to my amazement. Yes, I can love another child as much as I love you -- only differently. And although I realize that you may have to share my time, I now know you'll never share my love. There's enough of that for both of you -- you each have your own supply. I love you -- both. and I thank you both for blessing my life."
Yippeeeeeee! What fun! I have a son and a daughter - it's so fun to see how different, yet alike they can be! Congratulations to you....good health and happiness for the rest of the pregnancy :)
Wishing all the best!!!
I too have a son as my first born followed by his little sister. They are three years apart & simply adore one another. Congrats.
