6 weeks and a mother's love


When I was pregnant with Littlest, I had this irrational fear that because I loved Oldest so utterly and completely that maybe I wouldn't have enough love for another child. What a ridiculous thought. I think back on it now and realise what an idiot I was for wasting so much time and energy on such a crazy notion. Because the way I love Littlest is completely separate and different, but no less fierce. I love the way Littlest has blended so naturally into our family, and here we are, already 6 weeks of him in our lives and I can't remember a time without him.

  1. Being pregnant is such an emotional time, I can believe that this is a thought that comes up. I would imagine that most second time mommies go through it, I just guess a lot of people won't admit it...

  6. Hey there, I just came across you blog and read a little. It's quite interesting! But how do you find the time to read all these books???? I'm beginning to believe I'm mismanaging my time. I only have one little boy and feel I don't get to do much if anything for myself. :) My husband is amrican and crazy about books, too. We too live in Berkshire. I will turn 26 in July as well! :)))
