One of the best things, maybe even the best thing, about this pregnancy is getting to share it with Madeline. She is so excited to be a big sister. She loves hugging and kissing my belly, rubbing lotion on my belly and talking to the baby. She always gives my belly a big hug and says, "Oh baby, I love you so much!!!" Now baby is starting to respond to Madeline as well. She seems to anticipate her "massage" after my shower. And no matter how quiet she's been, as soon as she hears Madeline's voice, she starts wiggling around. But then she settles right down, almost as if she's listening intently to every word Madeline has to say. I can't wait until she arrives and to watch this bond grow throughout the years.
(This would be where I'd put a picture of Madeline talking to my belly. Except I don't have any.)

That is fun to watch with our girls. Of course, jealousy is setting in now after three months of it, and Maddie sometimes views her sister as competition. But overall, she really loves her.
It is fabulous to watch our girls play with each other. There is a little competition now, mostly over silly things like who gets what bath toy or who gets to brush their teeth first, but it's manageable. They are so loving with each other that it's easy to forgive them when something goes a little wrong (usually Natalie being overzealous). I can't wait to see how your girls do with each other!
I saw this (in mothering mag) and I thought of your post right away.
