Tiny Dancer
Gwen's first dance class was back in September 2012. Before we began, I only expected to try it out for a few months, but she just had so much fun with it! And when I found out that there would be a recital this summer (even though it was less than a week before my due date), I knew we had to stick with it! This will be our last month of dance (for now), and we're really going to miss it. Looking back, I never really imagined just how much she would change in those 9 months...
THE RECITAL
Gwen did AH-MA-ZING at her first recital!! The song was "Daddy's Little Girl" by Michael Buble in honor of Father's Day this weekend. While we were waiting backstage, she wanted to get out there so badly. When we started walking out, she immediately looked for Daddy, and you can see in the video that I posted when she found him and how excited she was.
Towards the end, I *sort of* forgot the routine (I was relying on the teacher giving her cues - but I couldn't find her), but you can see how Gwen knew exactly what she was supposed to be doing and was so confident about it. I'm so proud of my little lady, she was such a star <3
Below are some photos and a link to the video on youtube!

Gwen's Dance Recital

waiting...........
I'm constantly being told that going from 1 to 2 kids is a nightmare significant adjustment, so I've been mentally trying to prepare myself and am expecting it to be pretty tough. At the same time, I'm hoping that expecting the worst, will actually make things seem less challenging????.....haahh...ahhhh...
Lately though, instead of being nervous, I've just been getting really excited to finally meet this boy! Not sure if this sounds bad, but when I think about how amazing the first couple of days in the hospital were with Gwen, I hope it's just as amazing with him. Justin and I really came together and worked as a team. I felt like we bonded in a different way after she was born, and it just made the whole experience so much better. This time, instead of it just being the two of us, we want to be sure that Gwen is included and comfortable. All signs point to an easy transition for her - she's still constantly talking about her baby brother, saying good morning to him and giving him hugs and kisses. She tells us that he'll be sleeping in her old crib while she stays in her big girl bed. That she'll be sharing her toys, and helping to feed him, rock him...annnd sharing her pah-pah(!). But there's no way to really know how she'll actually react until he's here. We're lucky to have a lot of help from family, and Justin is planning a lot of daddy-daughter time including Gwen's first movie - the sequel to Monsters Inc. (which she's obsessed with).
I'm just so excited for our family to be complete, let's get this show on the road, people!!

Namaste
Gwen's Yoga career started when she was just 3 months old. It's no wonder she spontaneously breaks out in Yoga poses and asks me for the Yoga dvd on a regular basis.
