There is something so special about the last few weeks before your youngest becomes a big brother or sister. And then.......
Then the day comes when new baby arrives and the mix of emotions and hormones...
Do you remember how your baby didn't feel like a baby any more the 1st time you hold them after the newborn arrives? They feel so sturdy. So big. So independent. You want to cry because you're worried that they will think you like the new baby more. You feel overwhelmed by the thought " how I can make them both feel so loved at the same time?"
You will have days where the toddler is just not having it. Tantrums galore and a new baby that literally depends on you every moment of the day. You'll question yourself. You'll wonder if you're doing it right.
You might even do the absolute worst thing, turn to the internet and see how "perfect" someone else is doing. I urge you to remember, the internet is fake ,and your precious babies only want you. You're the most important thing in the world to them. Don't over think it or let strangers on the internet fool you into thinking you're anything less than. Their kids cry too. They stay in jammies all day sometimes too.
They worry they're falling short some days too.
The honest truth, we're all still trying to figure things out. If you question if you're doing it right or not , watch your child walk straight past dad in the kitchen , find you 3 rooms away and ask YOU to give them more water in their cup 😜
Kidding. But for real. 🫶
(Or maybe this is just my personal experience as a mom of 5 now 🤔 😅)
Sweet Layla is going to be a big sister soon.
