Such great memories.<br /><br />When your dad and I talked about another baby. At first I said "NO WAY" because, with you, I had been such a basket case for the first couple of months. But I was a bit older and time erases the labor pains, sleepless nights and crazy routines... and thinking about having another child didn't sound so bad after all.<br /><br />So glad we did! Yes it was hard with Kristen being a premie, arriving almost 7 weeks early. You loved being the big sister and helping mommy and daddy with your new "baby-sister". <br /><br />It all works out. AND I wouldn't trade any of those wonderful memories. I love you!<br /><br />Grandma Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320163238589678923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-76099678018062900392013-03-30T05:33:38.309-06:002013-03-30T05:33:38.309-06:00Okay after that first crazy side comment here is o...Okay after that first crazy side comment here is our life. We have two girls. 19 months between them. The oldest moved to her bed a month before her sister came and loved it. She was ready and wanted into her big girl bed. But my now 22 month old little one is no where near ready now. You have to remember every pregnancy, labour and BABY is different. I also think for a lot of parent who had a rough time with their first are more relaxed and easy going in round 2 and don't have such a hard time. Our oldest is usually the easy baby with my little one being more fussy and clingy than her big sister but I can see how much she loves her big sister! She follows her like a puppy.<br /><br />The best advice I can give you is yes it will be hard for a while (the first 6 weeks especially when the baby wants to nurse non stop) but soon you get into a groove (and it usually happens faster with number 2) and you'll never be able to picture life without them both. So much love that you won't be able to stand it. <br /><br />And thereis something so wonderful aout when they both want your lap and your cuddling more little babies than your arms can handleAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981787729963020892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-70008843233015524532013-03-29T20:01:58.455-06:002013-03-29T20:01:58.455-06:00I love the pictures of KPT!!

THEN, I had one and thought maybe two would be just fine! Dylan was SO good with us before Adriana, and I am very glad we were able to have her, they have been good friends and enemy's (especially as she gets older). It is hard to tell someone to do something either way, but I do think that having a sibling gives you a greater feeling about family and a special bond... as you know with KPT! ... the de Roda Family!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12444106202553049652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845384595164369254.post-46179340287604193612013-03-29T18:21:59.933-06:002013-03-29T18:21:59.933-06:00Like you, I've oscillated between Lulu needing...Like you, I've oscillated between Lulu needing to have a sibling & me wondering how on earth I'm going to be able to do it all again.<br /><br />We were having the exact same conversation with friends last night at dinner. Us and another couple were discussing when would be a good time to have another one & we were all super keen to have one soon until another couple started telling us their tale of two kids woe. They have a 2 year old and a 6 month old. The two year old has worked out how to get out of the cot so is in a big kid bed but refuses to go to sleep each night. The 6 month old has normal 6 mth old night wake ups. They worked out that between the two kids on Monday night they were up 50 times during the night. The mum was nearly hospitalised for vertigo Wednesday night from lack of sleep! Both kids have slept through the last two nights though! It's so weird how sometimes nothing you can do will work & the kid will just change their pattern regardless.<br /><br />After their stories we were all willing to wait a little longer for the second baby. Having said that, there is something to just having another one asap and like your friend mentioned, be done having kids.Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235616558848224272noreply@blogger.com
