Come out and play, Emimy!

The end of this second pregnancy is drawing near! Emily's due date is Tuesday, April 7th. I visited my doctor this morning and we decided that I'll head in Monday to have her. It's a little sad, because Ben doesn't think he wants any more children -- it's a little scary, because we'll instantly have TWO little girls to care for -- it's a sigh of relief, because this second pregnancy came with more aches and pains than the first. It's a lot of things - it's an END and a BEGINNING. We're nervous, thrilled, anxious, curious, a million different feelings all balled up together!
Ben got a few pictures of Madelyn loving on the "belly juice" as he likes to call it:

Gotta love Madelyn jamming her elbow into your belly! This looks like it felt good.
Of course, that's probably no different than what you've been feeling for about that past 4 months.
Can't wait for some big news on Monday!!!
We'll be thinking about you!!!!

How sweet are these pictures, and yes, as Kim said, Madelyn is giving her sister her first elbow to the face. The first of many.
Beautiful pictures! I can remember loving to lay my head on my mom's belly when she was pregnant with Carrie. Your girls will be always have each other and be lifelong friends. Sisters...it's kind of a special thing. Love you guys and I'll be thinking about you today! Good Luck with everything!
