Emotional pp rant:

Anyone else feel like they aren’t as mentally strong anymore w their 2nd newborn or so? I have a 2 yr old and loved that we finally had our routine down, I was able to sleep again, things were getting easier and then my hubby and I discussed a while for a second before she gets any older so she can have a sibling close in age too and it was something we genuinely wanted as well. Well, now that my second baby girl is born, all I keep thinking is that I can’t believe I’m starting over again. 😭 I know it’s my hormones at same time but man I feel like I am not strong as I was w my first lol. & knowing my hubby wants a third in the future. I just can’t even think that right now anymore. I would love that too but my emotional and physical state says otherwise unfortunately. Ugh!! It’s going to be a long year w my second I feel like and that’s all I keep thinking about. She’s such a good baby girl too & we love her so much. I’m just sad I guess starting over and having the lack of sleep. Also, another big thing is, I miss my bond w my first & I feel so bad not being her ft mommy like it was. 😭😭

I feel you mama. My oldest is turning 5 and my youngest is 6 months. I absolutely feel the sadness and mourning for the life i had with my firstborn. And often think of myself as selfish for having 3 more after her . All the things she should have and could have experienced. But you know what else? I wake up to my two little girls giggling together. I hear them playing in their room. I hear them ecstatic over loving the same things. I hear my girls running into my sons room during the day and tickling him. I see my oldest daughter helping her littlest brother. Holding him. Wanting to help feed him. As much as i miss all that was before, i would never take it in place of the beautiful children and life they have together today. 4 was alot and sure maybe i should have stopped at 2, but i know my kids are grateful and will be more grateful when theyre older for their siblings and the bonds they could make from me having 4 children. All close in age. All close together.

I thank god my mom had 7 kids. Because i now have 6 effortlessly made bestfriends . And maybe we all were mad at younger ages for the lack of 1 on 1 . The relationship i built with my siblings will be something i can count on , even after my mom passes away. And im very grateful for that. We have to remember, our kids are in our lives, the rest of our lives. But we are not in their lives for the rest of theirs. You gave your daughter a bestfriend. A shoulder to cry on. A hand to hold. Clothes to borrow. Memories to share. Long after youre gone. And she doesnt know it now and you may not see it yet or for years but that relationship is going to blossom. And youll wonder why you ever worried about your oldest in the first place. My daughter is a great big sister to 3 siblings and me and her both wouldnt have it any other way. 💛

School will come . Activities . Sports. Long from now college, dates, parties. You got this mama! Hang in there💛

SO relatable! Just had my baby girl and I have a 1yr old boy and feel like I'm robbing him but just keep reminding myself it's going to be so worth it giving him a little play buddy
