Thoughts from the minds of second children...

A & T - TTCA & T - TTC
in Success after IF

Seems like there have recently been several ladies who have had their second child and several of us that are weeks away. So, I thought it may be fun to get some thoughts from those of you that are second children. I am a first born, so I feel comfortable with what it's like to be the first child, but not so much the second. So...

What did you like/dislike about being #2?

What do you wish your parents knew/ did differently?

 What did your parents do that you liked? 

Any other fun thoughts, insights, etc.

    I didn't like being compared to my sister. I actually tried to do things very differently than her, just to not be compared to her and that sometimes got me in some trouble, because she was very much a play by the rules type of girl.

    Disliked: I wish my mother treated us differently. I went to dance class because my sister went to dance. I had no interest in it, but she loved it - so that meant we both had to go. She never really asked my opinion on what I wanted to do (I was a tomboy). My mother did catch on when I was about 10 that wasn't the way to go, but it took 7 years of dance class in order to do it. 

    Liked: We did get our own clothes, my mother never did hand me downs - at least when I was old enough to remember. We got to pick out our own clothes when we went shopping, so there was never any "matchy-matchy" clothes in our wardrobe - that was one way I felt I could express my individuality.

    All in all we had a great childhood. We are very close and were pretty close growing up aside from a few of the teenage years. 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.
