Ready or not...here he comes!

It is official, I will be induced this Thursday-December 6th! Chad and I are so excited to meet and hold Anderson. I can hardly remember Hattie being so small-even though she is only 16 months old. Still, there are a lot of unknowns hanging over my head right now. Most of them involve Hattie's reaction. While I know she will be a wonderful big sister and love Anderson to death, it makes me a little sentimental to know that the Chapter of the 3 of us is coming to an end. Since Hattie has been our main focus for the last 16 months-I thought I'd share some of her likes/dislikes/and popular sayings! She is such a firecracker -with a very spunky personality! I cannot wait to see how Anderson's personality shows through. I'm sure it won't take him long!
