I wasn't as excited with the 3rd pregnancy because it was not in my "plans." But as soon as I felt him leave my stomach my heart grew bigger to accomodate love for him, too.

That's another great thing about the new one, is how much your big kid adores them. Sure, it can be rough at the get-go, but more because we have to let go of the big one being "the baby".

It's like a fireworks of firsts everyday with your 3 year old constantly discovering new things and becoming more independent and your baby growing inside of you. <BR/><BR/>Now my "baby" just turned 4 and my daughter finished 2nd grade and we are getting to the point of independence that we left off at when the "baby" was born, which is also a very exciting time!<BR/><BR/>BTW - love the picture of Archer on horseback.

It makes all of the struggles of the early days of trying to balance 2 children, and somehow spilt yourself in 2, so incredibly worth it. I know it sounds totally cliche, but your love grows exponentially. I have found that my youngest has reminded me of all the sweet moments I had with the oldest. When he started crawling it brought back all of these memories of my first being at that stage. I had forgotten so much of that, especially when surviving the terrible 2's (&3's), and having a baby again has restored a lot of the tenderness to my relationship with Caleb. <BR/><BR/><BR/>/mushy stuff. <BR/><BR/>And you will be kissing the ground the maker of Croc's walks on come August.
