Our little Anna has arrived! She's a wonderful baby and we are so happy to add her to our little family. Jack is adjusting well, although he wasn't very happy with me at the beginning, he is just head over heels for his little sister. It's been a little over 8 weeks now and he seems to have forgiven me for having her, but it was rough for a little while. I go back to work next Friday, sniffle sniffle, but we know she will be in good hands as she will be attending the same school as Jack with the same teachers he had when he was just a little baby. Here is big brother hard at work comforting his sister with stories and lullabyes.

I feel as though our family is complete, and have such a feeling of comfort and calm that I never knew was possible. Matt and I have eased into the role of "parents of two" pretty well and are just feeling so lucky, happy and content. Thanks to all of you for your love and support, we are fortunate to have such a wonderful support system. There are so many who don't. We appreciate you!

Happy...or maybe not so Happy Easter

Can you tell what Jack thinks of the Easter Bunny?



Recap of conversation on 4/22/2011:

Jack: "Mom, my crayons just broke."
Mom: "Well, maybe the Easter Bunny will bring you some."
Jack: "The easter bunny doesn't talk and his lips don't move." Scowling....
Mom: "That doesn't mean he can't hear you."
Jack: "But Mom, he doesn't talk and his lips don't move."


So apparently our boy has a bit of a distrust for 6 ft tall rabbits who don't talk and whose lips don't move. Wouldn't you?

Feelin' Groovy

So...where to begin? All is well here in the Rossiter household. Jack is a big boy now at the ripe old age of 3, (going on 33) and we are just hanging on for the ride. Really, he's a great kid and keeps us on our toes, just when I think I couldn't love him any more than I already do, I do. Love love love being a Mommy and completely understand why it's called the "toughest job on earth".

We are officially 12 weeks away from the arrival of child #2, a little girl. The 2nd pregnancy is SO much different as far as time. I can't believe I'll get to meet her in 12 weeks. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant. No names to report as of yet, but we both feel like we need to see her first. I would like to start a blog for her like this one, which has mostly been about Jack, but I may just continue on with this one. That way I don't feel like I have 2 places to update.

I tried to log on about 3 days ago and couldn't find the blog anywhere, which just about gave me a heart attack, but thank God, I logged on today, and here it was. PHEW!

This is just a quick note to let everyone know I'm still alive, just sleeping, working and running after Jack a lot these days. Will post again soon. Love to all.
