On Bringing Home (Another) Baby

Posted by GIRL'S GONE CHILD | Friday, August 29, 2014
ED: I am not bringing home another baby. This is just the title of this post. Please rest assured, we are absolutely done having babies. xoxo
fableandthetwins #fbf = Three years ago.

This week on Mom.me, I wrote about preparing for a second another child and the guilt that sometimes occurs knowing that everything is about to change...

I had spent all that time worrying about something I had no control over, and it wasn’t until the three seconds it took to place Fable in Archer’s arms that I realized, preparing my first for a second was something he had already done for himself.
And, sure, we talked about babies and read books about babies and I took him to all of my “baby” appointments, but “preparing” a child for a child is not unlike preparing an adult for one. It is an impossible task because in no way can it be comprehended until it has actually happened. And that, my friends, is the most important part to remember in all of this.
It is impossible to prepare anyone for a baby. But when it comes to having a second child, at least you have the knowledge that you’ve done this thing before. And hopefully (unlike the first time) you now recognize how little control you have over absolutely everything.

Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone! All the love...
