Little Sister

A little sister is coming to the Stojan House this Summer! 

Lydia's reaction this fall to the excitement: 

Apparently she has been praying for a sister (well, five sisters but ummmm, God is giving her ONE!). She is thrilled to carry the baby around in her arms, she is certainly big enough to carry the baby in the Ergo, she doesn't like sleep and is happy to get up and feed the baby at night, this baby WILL drink from a bottle, she can change diapers - even dirty ones, and the baby will be a SISTER!!!!!!! 

Isaac's reaction to the excitement this fall: 

Fast forward six months: 

Lydia's reaction to the baby is actually a girl:

Oops, there is no picture. Why you ask? Because Lydia will not be still long enough for a picture! I attempted but the best I got was a blurry picture of the curtains moving as Lydia flitted by them talking about her baby sister and more day to day details of living life with her new baby sister.

Isaac's reaction to a new baby sister:

Not much has changed right? He liked the pink cupcake and wanted another cupcake. Isaac is now verbal and will happily say "yes hug" when asked anything about his baby. But seems much more interested in Dad's schedule, neighbors comings and goings, fire trucks, next opportunity to eat, etc... Our conclusion: Isaac is blissfully ignorant of what is happening in his life and a totally normal 2 year old ;)

Before you ask, this little one has due dates ranging from end of May to early June. North Carolina Stojan Babies seem to laugh at those dates and march to their own beats (can we all say 42 weeks and leave this mom alone in June?!?!).

P.S. If pictures of unborn baby blobs excite you, talk to Lydia. She has all the ultrasound pictures laying on her nightstand and is happy to tell you what she believes the various pictures are of ;) Yes, I have tried to tell her her baby is not really wearing a bow already BUT...
