Today, while we were at K-Mart, Piper had a complete meltdown because I wouldn't buy some Dora pajamas for her baby sister. I'm talking tears, sobbing, and frantically crying, "Mom, we have to buy this for her before she comes!" Needless to say, I was on the verge of tears myself. It broke my heart. I finally got her calmed down by explaining to her that I still had all of her clothes from when she was a baby and she could share them with her baby sister, so we didn't need to buy the pajamas. (Telling her that we didn't need to buy clothes for a baby sister she doesn't have made her cry more and scream louder, because "we NEED them BEFORE she comes!") Seriously, it was heart-breaking.
Yesterday, I was reading my "Parenting" magazine and she saw an ad for Pampers with several babies pictured. She pointed and said, "Mom, I want one of these. A real baby. A baby sister, like this." These moments literally make my heart hurt. She asks for or talks about a baby sister every.single.day. It kills me that I haven't been able to give her that.
She'll be such a great big sister. I just hope she knows something I don't and her baby sister is coming.
