I wor...Before I had my second I felt the same way. I worried that I would be able to love the next child as much as the first. I could not imagine being able to love another person the way I loved her. I worried that she would know that I loved her as much as I always had. When our little boy was born, she was just as excited to meet him as we were, and it was love at first sight for her. I honestly can't even tell you what happened, it was like he was always part of our family. There will be a little bit of a transition, but I wouldn't worry too much, things will come together quicker than you think.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506383271244211966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003590660465147423.post-66802943041791780212011-03-20T14:25:28.020-07:002011-03-20T14:25:28.020-07:00Wow, I just wrote a NOVEL and Blogger ate it.
Whe...Wow, I just wrote a NOVEL and Blogger ate it.<br /><br />When the baby is born, he'll only need about 20% of your attention for the first few weeks. Lola will need 80%. Try not to worry about housework; spend lots and lots of time with her. She is going to expect life to go on as it always has so try to keep it as normal as possible. She wants to play puzzles or blocks? Put the baby in a bassinet, sling or on a blanket on the floor and play puzzles.<br /><br />It also helps to include her in taking care of the baby. When you need to change him, have her bring you a diaper. <br /><br />We bought Audrey a few new puzzles when Carson was born. Best. Choice. Ever. Made. They made her feel so loved and special and gave her something new to do while I nursed. Can't tell you how many times she did the Target 50 States puzzle on the floor while I breastfed. It was so great.<br /><br />Also, she'll need one-on-one time with you. Have Reece or a family member watch the baby for 30-60 minutes while you take Lola to the park or to the store. She needs to know you're still HER mama.<br /><br />Before you know it, Baby Boy will feel like he's always been part of your family and it'll be great. I found these helpful hints, passed on from my mom and other trusted mothers, to be the best advice ever. They really made the transition easy. <br /><br />You are going to be great!

I remember crying about it and telling Matt and he didn't understand at all. For me, it wasn't something I ever really figured out how to deal with. Even when I was about to go in to be induced I was still struggling with those feelings but then he came out and everything was perfect and it really was just like he was there all along and the thoughts never crossed my mind again. But don't feel bad for having those feelings! I think Matt got worried when I told him how depressed I was that it wasn't going to be me and Livy anymore. But those feelings are totally normal.Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237999306412793230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003590660465147423.post-36537737124666310872011-03-19T19:56:09.262-07:002011-03-19T19:56:09.262-07:00I pretty much think you are the cutest prego perso...I pretty much think you are the cutest prego person, hands down. & I dont see oompa loompa but for the sake of keeping you from crying, I know how it FEELS to FEEL like an oompa loompa and lady you are doing it with grace (if you insist on taggin yourself as one) LOL. Lola is an angel and your 2nd will be too. Im not sure how double kiddos works, I still only have one but it must work great or we would all be only children. I think the other good thing is that they will be in two stages of life, one new and the other in the "helper" stage (lucky mama, not even getting to go potty?!- oh man) I have no doubt that you will be fabulous as always in being a Mama to two.
