This morning Trey brought a book into the bathroom, handed it to me, and sat down. As if to say, "Yes, it's time for you to read this to me." It was so sweet. The thought ran through my mind as I looked at him, my eyes filling with tears, that in just a few weeks he won't be our only child. He will be a competitor for time and attention with little sister. It's been so awesome playing together, laughing together, and learning together. I will miss it being the three of us. Don't get me wrong, I long to hold Claire Kate in my arms, and have a "Daddy's Girl." I can't wait to see her smile, or watch her grow. It will just be different.
I had similar thoughts before Trey was born. I loved the existence Holly and I had. It was awesome going through life together without the responsibility of caring for a child. As great as it was, I would never want to go back. I suppose this is just a time of mourning loss and attaining a new way of life. Only now, I'm not just thinking about me, but the "Wild Man" too. He has no idea what is about to take place. I think it's quite humorous actually. I expect Baby Girl will rock his world.
These changes are great! I welcome them, but I will miss what has been, understanding that on the other side that I will never want to go back to "the way it was" before Claire Kate.

So sad, sweet and true. You made me cry. I am looking forward to meeting Claire Kate and loving her too, but I will miss the time we had alone with the Treyman. We need to cherish these next few weeks. I love you! Holly
