More to Love!

When I had my first son, I fell so in love with him I couldn’t imagine loving another child as much. In fact, it scared me thinking about the possibility of having another child, but not loving that child as much. It scared me so much I almost didn’t want another child, but knew my son needed a sibling. I didn’t want him to grow up being lonely or spoiled.

Then, I found out I was pregnant with another boy! I wanted a girl this time around since it will more than likely be my last time pregnant, so my emotions took over and I cried for about a week. Then it was like some kind of light switch went off, HAVING ANOTHER BOY IS A GOOD THING!

It means less clothes to buy! It means they can share bedrooms, clothes, toys, EVERYTHING! And that’s not even the best part, the best part is, I’ve already managed to keep a baby boy alive, I will know what I’ll be doing this time around!

O SO I THOUGHT!

After the birth of my second son, I felt a whole new level of love I’ve never felt in my entire life! I wanted to give him everything as I gave the first one! I wanted him to have all new clothes so he doesn’t have any thought of being second best, or not good enough for new clothes! I wanted him to have his own toys so he wouldn’t have to have “hand me down” toys! I wanted to have mommy and me time with this baby the same as I did with the first one!

And I knew nothing! When my second son was born, it was like I lost all my knowledge of how to do this whole brand-new baby thing! I forgot how to change a baby that small! I forgot how to put on clothes when the baby can’t do what you ask him to do this or that! I forgot he couldn’t do anything you ask of him! He needed you for everything! And you will be more exhausted than you were before because now you have a rambunctious toddler on top of it all!

But the one thing I’ve learned from having my second son is that no matter what, my heart has enough love for both! I got home and I immediately wanted to hold my toddler because I missed him so much, but at the same time I wanted to show him the newest baby because I loved the newest little guy so much, I wanted to show him off to the world.

My heart is big enough for two little boys and it’s not like I thought where I’d be taking some love away from my eldest in order to love my little one, but instead it was like I had enough love for both! More than enough really! Because now I know if I was to have another baby, I’d love that one just as much!

There is no limit of how much love you have for your children!
