IT'S A BOY!
That's right, the name lives on with this one, and also we've got the complete set in two tries. I'm so excited that I can barely make myself focus on my work. Thoughts of sports, boy toys, roughhousing, cowboys and indians... excitement is running high.
Excitement tempered with a lot of worry... I'm an only child, so I really have no view into what a healthy multi-child household looks like. I'm already terrified-because of how excited I am to have a boy on the way-that I'll have less to give my little girl. Honestly a big part of me didn't want to have a second child because I want to give everything I have to Bug.
How much less will I give her because of her brother? Can I possibly give them both as much as I've given her thus far? I've already seen the transformation that having a kid causes. I had no idea that so much love could come from me, so I know it's possible and likely that I will expand again to love them both this much. That's not the issue, it's that I only have so much time in the day, only so much energy, and it's already difficult on a really tough day to not ignore Bug when she needs me.
This is the point where I wish I had readers who were an only child who now have multiple kids.
