2nd child due

[Tblock1800]

Hey peeps, wasn’t sure where to really put this article, but being a large family thread, i feel people can probably answer the questions a bit better.

Me and my wife are due our 2nd baby in a few weeks just after Xmas. It’s a little girl and we already have a gorgeous little 2.5 year old boy.

Obviously, we are both super excited and can’t wait to extend our family, but I’m always thinking at the back of my mind, how can i love another person as much as my son?

I assume, you love the next child just as much and everything falls into place and feels “normal” after a while? Don’t get me wrong, she will be loved unconditionally. We are both are in a stable relationship, both work full time and our boy has everything he ever could wish for, plus more importantly the love and attention he gets from us is constant and never ends.

I Suppose my question is, how hard is it to juggle your love for 2 kids or more without feeling like you’re leaving the other one out? My little boy is a proper Daddy’s boy and I have a real special bond with him. I also want that exact same relationship with my daughter.

Also preparing for my 2nd, though they're not due to arrive for another 7 months.

My mum say, you'll be shocked at how much love you have to give with each child. It's not a finite commodity. Good luck

You do love them equally and it comes naturally. Before you had your first child you probably thought you couldn't love anyone more than you loved your wife, but then your son arrived.

It is a bit more difficult with your second child onwards as you have to juggle your time and energy, but love is boundless and not something you have to worry about.

You love both of them the same. Our 2 boys are 10yr and 7yrs now and it’s easy. It’s a big enough age gap that you don’t have to carry two kids. There was the first few days we came back from hospital and I was like WTF have we done?! How the hell are we going to cope?! But we did and DS2 was easier than DS1. You’ve got this 🙌🏼
