How cute is that? I'm having a lot of the same feelngs you are...nervous about the newborn thing...how did I do it the first time? And I'm a little sad that it won't just be Julia anymore. I'm afraid I won't be able to divide my time and attention well enough and that I'll love one more than the other and they'll know it. It's hard to imagine loving someone else like I love Julia. But somehow, it will all work out. And in a few months, I'll probably feel silly for all this apprehension. But that doesn't make me feel any better right now. I still worry. But, that's my style. <em>Leslie's last blog post..<a href='http://mymommysplace.com/blog/2008/02/28/who-needs-american-idol-when-ive-got-this/'>Who Needs American Idol When I’ve Got This?!</a></em> Julia also has a baby in her belly.

I had the same feelings too when I was pg again. It is much harder with two, but it truly is worth it. Especially when I see my 5 yr old hug and kiss his little brother and tell him he loves him. And to see the 1 yr old look up at him in awe. Makes me remember why I wanted more than one. The first few months will be hell....but once you get into a routine and figure things out, it gets easier. (((hugs))) you can do it! <em>Brenda's last blog post..<a href='http://pookeybear.blogspot.com/2008/02/kyle-1-yr-pictures.html'>Kyle 1 yr pictures</a></em> Mine are 4 yrs apart.
