One Month From Today
June 11, 2009One month from today, Jr. Franklin will be here. Kind of freaks me out because I can’t help but think about what life will be like with 2 procreations running around our house. Will he be like Luke? Will he be as different from Luke as I am from my siblings? Will he be an easy baby like Luke was or will he be the terror everyone has told me he will be? Will he be healthy? Will he be another little Michael clone? Will I freak out when he gets sick the way I do with Luke? Will I remember what to do with a newborn? WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GOING TO NAME HIM!?!?! Will Luke be ok sharing his daddy & Tay-tay with his baby brudder? I’m also a little sad because unless God says otherwise, this will be my last pregnancy. As much as I hate feeling like a beached whale, I have treasured every heartburny, cellulitey, alien moving in my belly, can’t bend over, tired, irrational, moment of growing this human. did i mention heartburney? All that said, I’m excited to meet my little man on July 10. Hope I like him!
Can’t wait to meet the newest Franklin!!! And don’t worry about that “naming the baby” thing…you can do that up to several days after he gets here if you want.
I’m so excited!! I learn SO much from watching you as a parent, and this time I get to do it from the very beginning. Can’t wait to meet this little one!!
One month – wow!!! You’ll have to teach me how to do this whole two-kids thing.
I think the name you first came up with is great, so whatever you pick will be fabu!
I can’t wait to meet your little man too!
I think a cool part of it that I never thought about until after the 2nd, is watching the first be an older sibling – and how you can see such a different aspect of their personality as they protect, love, bond, and fight with the younger.
It’s fun to watch – and that your two boys will be almost the exact same apart as my two, I know you are in for such a treat, giving Luke a built in best buddy, and having another little personality/person to challenge your mothering skills and fill your heart. 
I can’t wait to meet him.
hey there! hold on to your hat girlfriend. your world is about to change – definitely for the better. you’ll love seeing them together and luke will seem HUGE! in the challenging moments PLEASE do not hesitate to email or call me. i’ve just been through it and can listen or provide advice. much love! congrats! courtney defeo
I always love your insight…and neurosis! What lucky boys to grow up under such cool people as you and Michael. I can’t wait to see this new little baby and even more to see you and Michael in love with a little one all over again!
