Sammy.....

If you know me, you know about Sammy. Our almost 10 lb furry child. A runt that wasn't expected to live, and was never intended for us, he stole our hearts from the moment I brought him home from Ocilla, GA. Sammy has been our child for the past 6 years, he will always be our first born. To him I am Mommy and Brad is Daddy. I know people think we are crazy when we refer to him as our child, but we love him just that much and with a new baby on the way I am just as much worried about him as I am Lily. I hope he doesn't think we have tried to replace him and I don't want him to think we are pushing him to the side. We talk about Lily with Sammy on a daily basis, hoping he will get used to us saying her name. Brad directs Sammy to my belly and belly button and Sammy will stare at it with his head cocked to the side and his cold little nose pointed straight into my belly button while Brad tells him his baby sister is in there. Call me silly, but I am more worried about Sammy being alone while we are in the hospital than I am about actually going to the hospital. His Nanny Hilda has assured me she will take care of Sammy and even come sleep at our house so he can sleep in our bed and not break his normal routine. Thank goodness for grandparents! LOL....Anyway, heres hoping all three of us, furry child included, can adjust to having a new little person in our lives. We are so excited and cannot wait to see Lily and bring her home, and I hope Sammy feels the same way!
