Don't feel bad about the naming issues...all 3of my kids were nameless for several hours...2 days for Grant. Jake thinks naming them is the hardest part about having a new baby...quite obviously he is not the one who has the baby CUT from their loins!<BR/>Really, thanks for sharing.

On top of worrying about what might go "wrong" with this one, I just wasn't as excited or anxious as with Li'l Mil. There were definitely days I wondered if that meant I wouldn't love Nano as much or whether I was a sub-par mama. Luckily that first instant you see your new baby cures you of all that! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing such intimate feelings--emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992015740946307064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-41789710836304983992009-01-16T21:06:00.000-07:002009-01-16T21:06:00.000-07:00Beautiful...thanks for sharing your story.

You're his mama for a reason, and it's enough.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad he's here, safely, and that he is such a mellow, happy boy.

Just to reassure you, when I had daughter #2, a very natural and subtle shift occurred in my relationship with daughter #1. It was nothing I thought about consciously and certainly she couldn't verbalize it (she was three) but the whole shift made caring for and bonding with #2 very natural and easy. #2 is now 3 and a half and stoic my dad recently confessed to me that he was very worried when #2 arrived that #1 was going to freak out. But it was okay. Hope you experience the same peace in your house... I loved seeing my daughters interacting... #2 is #1's BIGGEST fan! <BR/>You're in my prayers... so glad it's going well!!!The Libutti Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013560743144047527noreply@blogger.com
