I was really upset for a long time and when she finally came I fell in love with her. <br /><br />James and I get along the best and Madison is definitely a daddy's girl. It's funny how as they grow older they are more like one parent.<br /><br />I love them both equally but I must say James is my favorite. And maybe it's because I understand him the best, or that I've known him the longest, I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's bad to say you have a favorite but I'm saying it...<br /><br />You might go through a phase where you feel completely guilty for devoting all your time to the little baby. But they won't remember that and Parker knows you love him.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149220899260305994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-42822908796257683572011-05-01T10:31:07.173-07:002011-05-01T10:31:07.173-07:00What a sweet post...I once had those feelings too....What a sweet post...I once had those feelings too...the guilt, the worry, the wondering...but when Mark came (and the Evaly was past the initial shock of me holding another baby) it was all just fine. In fact better than fine, it was wonderful! Love all my children more than they will ever know until they all have their own little ones.Lorindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925189973625908004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-50868960480509443942011-04-28T23:55:51.400-07:002011-04-28T23:55:51.400-07:00haha- I overthink everything- just ask Nathan :) I...haha- I overthink everything- just ask Nathan :) I always feel a little sad when a new baby is about to come, it definitely moves the older one out of the "baby" slot. But, it's always better than I think it will be and then we can't imagine life without the new addition! Honestly, it's good for the older ones to get a little push toward growing up. It makes them stronger and more independent. I don't think it stunts their growth- it's an opportunity for growth! And you are giving them the best gift- a sibling to spend hours playing with! Although, meeting the emotional needs of additional kids is a constant balancing act and one of the hardest things for me. But I think it can be done, it just takes work! I think it is harder when you have larger age gaps though. Kylie had the hardest time and I think it's because she was 2 1/2 when Meg was born. She was old enough to know she was getting bumped! Good luck :)Evalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624089310890029593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108317933995431043.post-63641003146814634962011-04-28T19:54:44.655-07:002011-04-28T19:54:44.655-07:00Aw! I'm so glad you posted this because I'...Aw! I'm so glad you posted this because I've felt the same way when thinking about having another baby. (Not that it'll be too soon) I haven't wanted him to have to grow up too fast because I'm pushing him along or don't have the same quality time. Funny, I was just thinking today about how could I possibly have any more room in my heart for another baby when I already love him SO much it hurts!Keeping Up w/ the Ruppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635367114274230583noreply@blogger.com
