Have We Turned a Corner?

Clara has been just the sweetest thing lately, which is a vast change from the several months prior. She really had been pushing my buttons every chance she got. I'm not sure I mentioned it, but a few weeks ago, she was mad at me because she didn't get to stay for lunch after ladies bible class. On the drive home she told me she didn't love me anymore. And to drive the point home further, she said that she still loved Daddy though.

But now? Now she's full of loving words. On the way to church today she told me I was gorgeous. She's given me tons of her Halloween candy and has been loving on my belly for the past week or so. She'll just come up and pull my shirt up and talk to the baby for a while, then give it hugs and kisses. She's been perfect at my last two midwife appointments and sitting still and quiet during church. She's getting right into her carseat without a fight and listening so well when we ask her to do something.

So, tell me this isn't just a phase as the baby gets closer to being here. If it is, any pointers on how to get the sweet child back after her sibling gets here would be much appreciated. Thankfully, the baby did think ahead and get his/her big sister a gift for the big day, so hopefully he/she will get some good mileage out of that.

Oh btw, there's a poll to the right so you can take a guess as to what this baby's gonna be.
