Room for Hope...

     I bought Hope some hair bows last night from Babies R Us. It was the first time I had been there buying for a daughter that wasn't Hannah. It was kinda hard, but exciting at the same time. I think I'm slower to bond with Hope, but when I do it's much more intense.  I felt so much closer to her.  Hope has so much that Hannah was never able to use, and we're so thankful for that, but everything is very related to Hannah.

     I unpacked Hope's room last night.  It's nice to have a new house and a new room for Hope.  It feels like it can be her own.  I only unpacked a couple of important toys from Hannah.  I want Hope to know she's just as important and just as loved as her sister is.  I want her to have her own identity, and so far, she is so different!  She's seems like a little character, so we're excited for her to join us and watch this new little person that God created grow.

     We hit 36 weeks on Saturday.  It's been a huge milestone since Hannah was born at 36 weeks and 1 day.  So we're anxious to see how this weekend goes.  So far everything seems great though.  I feel like she's going to stay put.  I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm kind of holding my breath though.  But, Hope is just as much in God's hands as Hannah is.  He's been so faithful to us, I have no reason to believe He would ever leave us now.  Praising the Lord for taking over my life!  It sure is alot easier to let Him handle the details!
