Excited to meet baby 2-sad our time as a family of 3 is done
I am 40 weeks today. Baby 2 isn't here yet but I can't wait to meet them. At the same time I am so sad that my 1st kid (now toddler) isn't my one and only. I love our solo time, our long cuddle sessions, her being my daily solo bff. I know the new baby will bring nothing but good but have cried over taking her attention and having to share my love. Motherhood is the only thing that can bring extreme joy and tear filled sadness for the same event
Update: Baby 2 was born. So happy and we love him so much. My daughter who has been my best friend, little partner, bff shadow for the last 2.5 yrs now won't even look at me. I know she will move past it and love her sibling but this was my biggest fear coming home from the hospital. I am crushed she is hurting so bad and just want to hug and cuddle and kiss her and let her know it will be alright but she isn't letting me near her. So happy to have baby 2 here and healthy but absolutely devasted at feeling like I lost partner in crime. I don't regret my baby of course but in the post labor emotions wonder if we should have waited a little longer so she understood more. Have been crying for the last hour because she keeps telling dad and whoever will listen "mommy doesn't love me and I don't love mommy". I hope the rest if you have a better experience. Again I know it is a phase and jealousy but I will never forget this feeling or the memory of her bawling with huge fat tears because I don't love her now.
