Sharing Our News With Rachel

On Monday night, we shared our news with Rachel - we told her that she is going to be a big sister! We started by showing her pictures in her scrapbook from when she was born. Then we asked her what she had been praying for for a very long time. Here is the video from that moment.

Since then, she has been cracking us up with her thoughts on the baby. The first thing she said this morning when she got out of bed was "Mommy, all the baby can see is the inside of your tummy. That's boring!". She also said, "Our baby thinks it is the only one in our family because it doesn't know yet that it has a sister, mommy and daddy!". The sweetest thing is that she is working really hard at obeying the first time when we ask her to do something and she says that she wants to obey so that she can teach the baby to obey. When we went to church last night, she was stopping everyone she saw in the hallways and telling them our news with the biggest smile on her face! And when she got to her Cubbies class and told her teachers (Miss Tracy, Miss Melissa, and Miss Sudeana), they were so excited for her and hugged her and made her feel special. They asked her if she wanted to pray to bless the snack and part of her prayer was that when the baby is born and goes to the doctor that it won't be afraid because sometimes Rachel is afraid at the doctor. It's amazing how her brain is working and thinking ahead for the baby!
