Struggling

I have been struggling with my feeling about Logan no longer being the only child. I know that sounds so bad but that is how I feel. I feel guilty that he won't have mommy and daddy to himself. That he will have to share his room and toys. That he might not adjust well to the changes. I know that I am not an only child and I survived. I have cried two times this week about it. My friends keep telling me that he will be fine and that he will adjust. I don't think that is the issue for me. I think the issue is that I just feel guilt. It isn't like he got to make this decision or have a say. Jason and I considered his feelings but I guess I didn't realize how much he would impacted before the baby. I have already seen a change in my little boy and to tell the the truth that bothers me. This might just be something I have to deal with on my own time. Maybe some of it the fact that he is my baby in my mind. Yes I know that he is 3 1/2 but I still think of him as my baby. I still hold him when he crys or gets hurt. I still baby him some days for no reason other than I want to. My husband tells me I need to let him grow up before the baby is born. So today I am emotionally struggling with the thought of being a family of 4 by the 10Th.

    When I was expecting Abby I knew we were going to be a family of 4. I still remember the day that it actually hit me that we really will be a family of 4! I dreamed and imagined about the days I would spend with my girls... but I didn't start crying while I was in labor till I kissed Libby and she had to leave the room so I could actually deliver Abby. She wanted to be there so very badly and got to stand right outside the door. She got to hear the first cry and come in as soon as I was decent... but I remember us both crying and hugging right before she left the room - and I knew when she came back in the room, our lives would be different for forever!

    I was scared and nervous... but she did better than I thought she would.

    Hang in there girlie! You guys can all make it! Just remember that baby naptimes are great times to cuddle with the big brother or big sister! - No naps for mom... but extra cuddles for the big brother ;)
