To my First Baby:
You have no idea what is coming. Our lives will soon be turned upside down.
Up until now, everything has revolved around you.
The days with just us two are numbered, and to be honest, I am soaking up every second.
Reflecting on the last five years, I wipe back tears, as I am mourning the end of an era.
The era of me and you.
You’ve been my best friend and the love of my life.
Our connection and bond, evident on my face.
You taught me patience, understanding and most importantly…how to be a mother.
I apologize for all the times I did not get it right; the first child feels like a rehearsal.
Thanks to you, we are confident and ready for the next phase. Arms open wide for another tiny miracle…and two babies to love.
Yes, to say I am grieving the loss of just me and you is an understatement.
But I know there is so much joy waiting for us both, on the other side.
P.S. You will always be my first baby.
I love this so much. You have inspired me so much over the years and I am blessed to have you in my life. B sure is lucky to have you and the new little one has no idea just how wonderful his mommy is…lucky little guy! Sending all. my love <3
You are the sweetest! Can not wait to read all of the goodness you have to offer the world. 🙂 Hugs.
This made me cry. It was difficult for me to say goodbye too the “two of us”. I even took of a month of work just to spend with Kylie.
What is even more amazing is how much your heart grows for the next one to join. And seeing your two children interact with each other. It’s seriously a feeling you’ll never be able to explain.
Beautiful read Val. Love you and B, and so very excited to meet your boy.
Thanks, mama! Don’t worry I am crying over everything these days. LOL I know the three of us will have lots of amazing times together. Looking forward to introducing him to everyone!
This is an amazing read! Of course a tear jerker, your a fabulous mom! The greatest gift you could give your child is a sibling❤️ Love you and so proud of you and this! Xoxo
Thanks love! This is what I hear. To see how much she is obsessed with him already and he isn’t even here, makes me know it was a good choice. Love my siblings so much and grateful she gets to experience that bond.
I felt exactly the same way when I was pregnant with Alia. I had all the fears and feelings; like I was cheating on Elias, like my relationship with Elias would never be the same with him again, like Elias would be super jealous of his baby sister. None of this could be further from the truth. They are besties. They love each other so purely and fiercely. They have their own little world together. I am so happy I had my second little. She is so special and incredible in her own way, and of course we could never imagine life without her now. Soak it in, times are changing, but honestly it gets even better!!!!
So excited to see how different they are. Thanks for the words of encouragement. 🙂
