2nd baby anxiety
I want to start this off with a disclaimer that I'm very excited for this new baby! Please don't misunderstand that!
But... I have some uncertainty (maybe anxiety was too strong a word) about what life will be like.
In some ways I feel so prepared for the newborn phase since we survived the first. But on the other hand, I have no idea what it will look like with a toddler in the picture.
I worry it will somehow affect the bond I have with my oldest.
I worry I won't be able to bond the same with this one since I'll always have to split my attention.
I know parents have been figuring this out since the dawn of time so I know we will, too. But on this side of it all going down, I'm left excited, but also pretty nervous.
Can anyone relate? Or if this is baby 3+ for you, how did you handle the transition to 2 kids?
