Getting Nervous!! And excitement!

nvargas2013

This isn't my first child at all. I'm actually on number 3!

In January I lost my oldest due to cancer. He was the greatest big brother to his little sister, Lily (our now middle child).

When I found out I was pregnant I was so sad that my little Rylie wouldn't be here to watch this baby grow up as well. Rylie and Lily were like twins (10 months apart).

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and absolutely terrified that Lily and this baby wont have any where near the connection that Rylie and Lily had. 

I'm afraid that Lily wont love this baby nearly as much ):

I know this probably a totally irrational fear, but it's okay. 

Besides this fear, I'm beyond excited for this baby. We've been wanting another baby for over a year (before our baby boy was diagnosed and sick)

If it's a girl we're naming her Emarosa, and if it's a boy, Tyler. (:

I'm SO excited!!!!

Thank you for listening!

Im so sorry about the passing of your eldest.  I cannot imagine how difficult that must have been for your family.  I think your LO will bond just fine with the baby.  Involve Lily in this pregnancy.  I did that with my DD and she is head over heels in love with her little bro.  She takes such good care of him.  Good luck and congrats to you.

I am so sorry about your son.  I agree about including your daughter in the preparations for the new little one.  Also, make sure your daughter knows that this new little baby is not replacing your eldest, but will be an exciting new addition with whom she can share memories about Rylie.

Wow I am so sorry to hear about your oldest I can't even imagine what you and your family have been through. Many T&Ps to you.

I am sure your daughter and new baby will have their own special bond and I agree with what others have said in just letting her know this new baby does not replace her big brother and to share those memories of him.
