Say it isn't so!

Took the little girlies to Abrie's 4-month appointment today, and it was as though a worry of mine was voiced for the first time by someone other than the voice in my own head. 

A sweet nurse called us back, and once we were in the room she told me "Oh my gosh, seeing you is bringing back so many memories" and she went on to tell me that she also had three little girls. She was as sweet as could be and we started talking about their age differences between Maddie and Faith, and Faith and Abrie and her girls and mine are pretty much the same in age differences (now her youngest though is 10 years old-- I CAN not imagine and refuse to imagine Abrielle at 10 years old!). She laughed at Faith and Maddie in their own little world-- sitting there with their purses spilling out My Little Ponies in every direction, and giggling hysterically at something Faith was doing. She told me her two oldest were inseparable just like my C. and my big B. And, she told me Abrie reminded her so much of her third darling girl.

She asked me, "I don't know about you, but if it hadn't been for me being 35 when I had my third girl, I would have gone ahead and had another. I always felt as though my two oldest had each other and were buddy, buddy and my third didn't have that." It literally was somebody taking the thoughts that I've had right out of my head. When we found out in January that we would be having another little girl, I was overjoyed and yet worried at the same time. I know I worry about such trivial things, but yet it's still a worry. I want my three to be each other's best friend with neither one of them ever being excluded from any secret, fun time, embarrassment, etc etc. 

I know though that it's just a fear of mine that is not even worth the worry. I could tell even from the time Abrie was in my stomach and when Maddie and Faith first came to see their baby sister that this is how things have always been meant to be. They are in love with her. They think she is adorable. They think she is hysterical. They think she is caring and sweet. They think the world of their Bay Breeze/Beeba Show. 

It's funny because when we found out we would be having another lovely little lady, I also immediately thought of my two sisters. Tia Rosa completed the three of us, just as Abrie has completed these three precious girls. 

And, I know that in time, Abrie will be right there in the thick of it laughing and giggling with her two big sisters also. The THREE best friends.
