I’m laying on my bed in our home getting a massage...35 weeks pregnant with son #2, my body begins to relax and surrender as Marta works her magic, then my mind begins turning.
I realize that I don’t often have time to let my mind turn and ponder, I begin to realize how different my mindset has been during this 2nd pregnancy. I'm so much more relaxed this time around. I lay there and take time to consider this question that I can’t seem to wrap my head around...how will it feel to love 2 sons? How will the arrival of Son #2 effect Dylan?
I’m not gonna lie, one of the reasons I wanted to have a 2nd child is because of my experience as an only child. I openly admit, there are certain aspects of my core personality that I attribute to being an only child.
How will I facilitate a healthy, loving sibling relationship when I have never experienced that myself? I have always had friends throughout my entire life that I would say I’ve loved like a brother or sister, but even as much as you can love a person in that way...there’s still essential elements missing...the experience of sharing parents, and memories of family events, and vacations and comfort food and so on and so on…
I look at Dylan, whom I completely adore and I can’t imagine loving another as much as I love him! The final countdown is on! What an amazing life we live...I’m about to have my 2nd birth experience on a 2nd continent. More details to follow!
