Hello
I just wanted to know if anyone else feels/felt like this when their second child was born?
I feel sort of bereft and sad - I know it's silly and probably baby blues/hormones but I miss my firstborn and knowing that it's not just me and him anymore.
He's been a bit offish with me because of the new addition. He's quite interested in the baby but is definitely out of sorts. Maybe that's why I'm feeling this sad.
I feel completely daft really but feel like I'm going to adjust again to a different life with two and will miss life just with one.
He now seems so big and grown up and I feel like I haven't spent much time with him because I'm with newborn.
I love newborn to pieces but then I think of how firstborn is and I get all teary. Please someone tell me to shape up!!
