today's mine and Sawyer's last day...and concerns

We're going cuddle and play crazy today since its our last day of just the two of us.

My fears of having a newborn:

Handling a newborn vs. handling a toddler- I toss DS around like a sack of potatoes. Its going to be interesting going back and forth between that and cradling the head on DS2.

Assuming nothing is wrong with Cru's vision: Because DS is pretty much blind, its unnerving when babies look right into my eyes. I'm just not used to it. It also makes me sad b/c Sawyer obviously doesn't do that; he just looks wherever he wants to. I think raising a sighted baby will be much different and I am nervous.

    Enjoy your one on one time with Sawyer today. I'm sure you'll do just fine. It may be hectic balancing two LO's for the first few days, but you'll fall into a rythym quickly. I hope everything goes well tomorrow:)

    Thanks!

    Hey Jen- Your little girl is pretty. You can tell she's going to be gorgeous when she grows up!  A lot of times kids just look awkward growing up (I know I did!)

    Congrats lpennie and good luck tomorrow! I can't wait for pictures :)

    I know it's crazy to think about having a whole new baby - I was just talking to my cousin (who is also pregnant) last night about how it's hard to even imagine a baby that is different from the one we have now, who has been the center of our world so far! I think you'll do great though. Good luck again!!!!

    Enjoy this last day! Everything will be different tomorrow :) Just remember that it gets easier every day. There are parts of each day that I want to scream and rip my hair out, but then Robbie will give Landon a kiss and my heart just melts and it makes me realize how lucky they are to be so close in age.

    You'll get through it- enjoy every moment! And don't worry about Sawyer's vision... Crusoe will be an entirely different baby and you won't even compare the two. You'll just enjoy different ways of bonding with each child.

    Congrats in advance!

    Have fun with Sawyer today! I'd be cuddling like crazy, too.

    I think your concerns are normal. It's weird to think about going from handling a toddler to a newborn, but I'm sure you adjust quickly. The vision impairment seems like a big difference between your two DCs, but from what you've posted about Sawyer, he seems like a very happy and well-adjusted child. It's natural to be nervous about something new, but you'll be great. GL tomorrow!

    You are such a strong woman--I hope you have a great day --great delivery--and enjoy your new baby as much as you've enjoyed Sawyer---vision or not.  You're a great mom!
