Haha. Well, we'll be four, in a few days.๐๐
Dont worry about writting, I might have some time then too. I'll try to make time for everything, anyways.
These photos are taken two weeks ago, when I was still 36-37 weeks ๐คฃ๐คฆโโ๏ธ.
Now I'm 39. ๐ฅฐ
Keep in touch with you! ๐
you're an experienced Mom already, and I'm sure you'll have time for everything! Is Caleb waiting for his sibling?:) I'm so excited like it's not you but I'm 39 weeks now;)) send you my hug, dear!! ๐ค๐ค
Well, he is excited but I'm not sure he understands what changes will appear. I'll try my best to make this trsnsition as smooth as possible, especially for Caleb, so he doesnt feel like his whole world has changed.
Thats my biggest concern and the main aspect I'm focusing on. Because usually, older kids tend to suffer when newborns come into the family, soemtimes without parents even noticing. But I am aware that this could happen, so I'm extra careful here. ๐คช
Other than this, everyone is ready and well. By the end of the week, I should keep my baby in my arms for the first time ๐ฅน๐.
yeah, dear, I know what you mean about Caleb and your care about his new life with the baby...
Very often Moms "forget" about the first kid when the newborn comes. I had a friend who was one of them.. She was craxy about her son, she filled him with crazy love, but then she got pregnant...at first she hated the baby inside because she didn't plan it, but when the newborn appeared something changed inside of her soul and heart. And the changes were SO huge that the world turned upside down. Then she filled with crazy love that newborn girl and forgot about her first son...;( I was so sorry about him! It was painful for me to see him lost because he didn't understand why his Mom didn't love him any more... We stopped communication with her, so I don't know how the situation changed, but I'll remember this example forever...
I'm sure it will not touch you and Caleb, just a story from real life, don't take it too close to your heart. I read a good advice of psychologists about it: Moms should involve elder kids into taking care of the newborn baby, then they will feel like a part of this new life with the new kid, and they will feel they are important as well, they have a new status of "Mom's assistant" and "elder kid";)
I've read your comment but forgot to get back to u. I'm sorry to hear that story and ofc I will do whatever I know best to manage this situation that can easily happen on families with small babies and older siblings.
Thank you for your encouragements and all your attention to me these days. Appreciate it and you're very sweet for thinking of me! ๐
are you ok, dear??? did it all happen already??
Hey! Thanks for the worries, appreciate it! ๐
Yes, I am well. We both are! Actually today it's been two weeks since I had my baby, he's growing up so fast! We are all OK, just around the house, getting small things done, nothing important. I hope to make time to write something these days.
Happy New Year btw!๐ Wish you a new 2025 year filled with lots of lovely moments together with your family! Because there's nothing more important than family and health!
