Ellie and her sister

Ellie has been patiently awaiting the arrival of her baby sister for nearly 9 months now. From the day she knew I was pregnant she wanted it to be a sister. And she was so excited when she found out her dream was coming true.

At this last stage of pregnancy one of the best parts of my day is if Ellie crawls up beside me and tries to talk to or feel her baby sister moving around inside me. Belly giggles with delight when her sister moves around and she can feel it. I love watching the smile that comes across Ellie's face as this happens. Unfortunately, we still haven't gotten a video of this precious moment. But I hope that I can always remember the joy that she experienced waiting for her sister to come into this world.

My hope for Ellie and her sisters that they are close. I know they will be nearly 6 years apart in age, and there will be hard times in the teenage years. But I hope that the relationship is everything in Portelli could've ever imagined it to be for both of them!
