Vow to my Second Child

"Don't you know how to prevent that?" "Your hands are gunna be so full!" "get ready to never sleep again!" That's just a few of the things I've heard since announcing we are pregnant with you. When we announced we were pregnant with your sister it was nothing but "congratulations!" And now it's nothing but negative! Not all people are negative but you definitely get a more negative vibe the second time around. As if the 19 month age gap between you and your sister wasn't planned. We are THRILLED to be expecting you and I vow to not let anyone EVER make you feel otherwise. I promise to never make you feel second best or let anyone treat you that way. Granted with your sister when people asked me how far along I was I knew down to the second and this time around I've got to check the app on my phone to even remember what day it is. And last time I was a member of FOUR yes four online mommy groups and by Sadie's 6 month birthday I had deleted them all. Those women are nuts! But I can give you the gift of experience which I couldn't give your sister. This time around I won't be googling every noise you make or checking your temperature a thousand times a day. I will be much more calm which makes for a much more calm baby. However, I can't speak for your sister she's always crazy and loud but you'll get used to her :) I promise to savor every cuddle with you because your sister is a "touch me not" so I know your cuddles may not last long. I promise to enjoy this pregnancy no matter how miserable I might be because it's probably my last time to experience it all. I promise to love you with my whole heart for the rest of my life. I can't wait to meet you❤️
