The Second One




I have a lot to say about having a second child.  Maybe one day, I’ll put everything into words.  But for now, this is all I have to say...

When you’re pregnant with your second child, you wonder how you’ll possibly love your new baby as much as you loved your first.  You wonder if this new life will fit into your family, if the puzzle pieces will fall into place.  You wonder, and worry, about how your life will change.  

And then they arrive.  And they weave their way into your heart and into your life as if they were there all along.  And all the worries disappear...and new ones form.  And once again, just as you did with your first, you wonder how you ever lived a day without this amazing little being in your life.
