An Adjustment

 
Tonight, we gathered as a family to discuss all things family.
We talked about the newest addition to our Nielson seven.
We talked about my needs and how everyone is going to have to step it up,
especially during the super sick first-trimester days.
Everyone is on board!
We talked about the list of to-dos for Claire's wedding.
We still have quite a bit to do in preparation, especially for the
dinner we are hosting at our house the day before.
We talked about Jane returning to BYU Provo in August and 
Ollie at BYU Idaho in September, and what they both will need.
We talked about Gigs leaving for the MTC in Provo in August,
and Lottie's plan to go back to school in August.
We also talked about the studio and the all-hands-on approach we 
need from everyone to keep it running smoothly, especially
since I'm having to slow wayyy down.
I have the best employees and feel so grateful for them!


We're doing this all together.
I may be carrying this baby, but everyone has a part
to play in this, and tonight I wept thinking about all the strength
my children give me.
We did some calculations:
Claire will be 24 years older than the baby.
Jane will be 23 years older than the baby.
Oliver will be 21 years older than the baby.
Gigs will be 20 years older than the baby.
Lottie will be almost 14 years older than the baby.
And I will be 44 years old and Christian, 47 years older than the baby.

This is going to be an adjustment!
