here we go again

This is my attempt to restart this blog. This post is just to record a few of the things the girls said in anticipation of getting a baby brother.

Before we knew Noah's gender Madilyn said she hoped for a boy and Abby wanted a girl (or gril, as she says it). Madilyn was super excited to find out he was a boy, and Abby was equally disappointed not to get a girl (luckily she's come around).

In all of Madilyn's prayers she prayed for the baby: bless him to be healthy, come out good, etc. As his due date got closer she started praying, "Please bless the baby that he'll be really, really, really, really cute." Then, right before he was born she prayed, "Please bless the baby that he'll be as cute as I imagined." When she saw him for the first time I asked if he was as cute as she imagined, and she said he was even cuter!

Madilyn often talked about how she planned to take care of the baby, teach him things, be his best friend, and always be wherever he was. She said he'd have to sleep in her room. She made him a bed by putting a pillow and blankets in the bottom of a box. She even fell asleep in it once to prove how comfortable it was.
