For most of this pregnancy I haven’t worried about adding in a second, I’ve just been really excited about meeting our Wesley James. But lately I can’t help but wonder how things will go. When I think of Tuck feeling like second fiddle my heart aches. At the same time I’ve always wanted to give my children siblings. I feel like I’m over preparing in some ways – buying way too many books, talking about Wesley all the time with him, and I’ve even considered getting him a little boy doll. We had a friend from Switzerland with her six month old last week and Tuck was so sweet with him. Popping in his paci when it dropped, patting him when he cried (which was rare, he was a really good baby) and giving him smooches. It warmed my heart all week. So my fears aren’t so much that there will be animosity but more how in the world do you add another? and stay sane (: ? All the mamas with multiples and fams of five are giggling at me.
But seriously! How do we do our nighttime routine? How is nap time going to go? How is he going to feel? I know a big part will be just waiting to see what kind of baby Wesley James is. Hopefully he’s used to all the commotion around this house by the time he gets here.
Someone who has added another sweet baby boy and handles it with such grace is my girlfriend Morgan. Who designed this gorgeous, so soft, dress that I never want to take off. You can peek on her beautiful life {on her blog // shop morgan james (take 30% off for the next week with TAKE30// instagram }
I know I’d love to know from the veteran mama’s how adding in another changed the dynamics of your family? Any advice?
