This was the moment I was most anxious about for 9 months.
How would the little boy that had my 100% love & attention do with a baby in my arms?
My first born, having to share his mommy.
How would I leave him to go to the hospital?
How would he sleep without me and Lance?
Would he understand that she's ours forever?
Would he love her?
Would he still love me?
The list could go on.
But.
All those concerns and fears were erased the moment my little ham sammich walked in the door.
I was so anxious for him to get there Saturday morning.
I could hardly contain my excitement.
When he walked in and saw me holding her, he was a bit shy.
It took him some time to warm up to her, and even a bit to me, but within minutes, he was in love.
Just like the rest of us.
See???
This has been quite an adjustment for us all, but this boy has nothing but love for his little sister.
He's so gentle. So tender.
Kisses her head and so kindly hugs her.
I couldn't be more proud of the way he's adjusted to her being in our little family.
I can't wait to watch him love and protect her as they get older.
And I can't wait to see how she'll look up to him and admire him.
She's got the big brother I always dreamed of as a little girl.
These two...my heart is SO full!
This is so sweet. The beginning. I think I could have written it. The FEAR is consuming. The leaving my bitty baby girl to go have another scares me to death. The fear of leaving her period scares me to death. I just pray for guidance and peace as the time creeps rather flies closer that everything will fall into place.
