It would have been so hard to think you had to start over again. Even at this point I think I must be a little crazy for wanting to go through it all again since Addi is reaching an age where he is starting to do things on his own and it feels like a lot of the hard stuff is behind us (mind you, I know there are so many more hurdles to face!). We have so many people around that love us so much and give us all the support we need. Sometimes I wish that we were all much closer but I get by. I hope that Addison’s nap times sort themself out a bit more by the time Squiggle comes so that I can get some rest during the day but I won’t count on it.

Hi, Melissa,
I sure do understand your thoughts here. I think also it depends how close the children are in age and most are spaced around the two year difference. Mine were 4 and a half years apart and it was really like having another first time except Charles could do so much by the time he was 4 that I wondered how I could be starting out all over again. Each one is different and that makes each life an exciting adventure of discovery. One thing I learnt was to use the time they were sleeping to rest myself as they sure do keep you busy in their waking hours! It helped that we were on a farm and Charles was old enough to go out with his Dad which gave me some times with just the newborn at home. I hope we can all find ways to support you when the new bundle arrives. love from E
