My Daughter…
When we found out we were expecting our second child both me and my partner wondered how we would find enough love for another beautiful liitle being. How could you find or share what we had been experiencing with our first child. I think this is a common feeling that parents have when they start to understand that they will have to divide up these moments that the first born has only ever known.
I wondered how the first would react with this vastly decreased attention. I felt as though I was a traitor and depriving my first child of all the things that he had come to love. Finally I worried that I might not have enough love to share around…
… how silly this now seems now my lovely daughter has arrived. At first you spend the first two weeks trying to do everything … and then it just happens .. you find the family pattern and you realise that you will always have more than enough love to share with your beautiful family.
Amber is so different to Wilson – she has patience, she is tougher, less sensitive and has grown up sharing the massive amounts of love our family generate. She has grown up differently – with the second you realise how difficult you made it, what is important and what isn’t and you start to get that children who’s every need is catered for immediately do not nesscessarily make the most rounded children.
Amber doesn’t have as much 1-2-1 attention that Wilson had but she has just as much love and the same special place in my heart…
Yes and what a good job you are both doing .I have watched you both embrace parenthood with such care and devotion.Both amber and wilson are growing up wonderfully .What a great family unit you make .Well done to you both .MOM
