I miss DS, and he's just down the hall

Mobile users: I miss DS, and he's just down the hall

So I tried to go to sleep after posting DD's story, but then I got attacked by my hormones and became a big crying mess, especially about DS.

I didn't even get to hug him yesterday at the hospital...I barely got to hug him today. My parents and DH have been taking care of him, and I know he's feeling spoiled and happy, but I miss him so much. I just want to go pull him out of his crib and hold him.

Did anyone else go through this? I know a lot of this is just my crazy PP hormones, but it's like giving birth to DD made me just feel so much love for HIM, and I can't do everything with him that I would like to do right now.

    Aww I'm sorry.  That's one of my biggest fears about TTC and having another.  I'm sure it'll settle down a bit as the hormones even out.  Giving birth is rough stuff!

    Can you go down the hall and just sit with him for a few minutes?  Maybe you'll feel better if you can see him.

    DS woke up, and my dad thought he was being helpful by volunteering to get him. I finally yelled "NO! I'LL check on him." Poor grandpa. But I feel better Wink

    Part of my issue is that I feel that DS and I JUST really started to bond back in January when it was just the two of us, so it just really doesn't feel like I've had enough time with him. I was already KU at that point, so no turning back.

    DD2 isn't here yet, but I cry a tiny bit every night when I put DD to bed (after she's asleep, not while she's awake).  I've just been realizing how precious the time has been with just the two of us, and how much I love her.  I know things are going to be so different soon, and I just want to hold her as much as I can!

    Yes! It's a totally normal feeling when you have your second. I was very concerned about my relationship with DD.

    I know I will be going through that soon. Xander is attached to my hip 24/7. I have been thinking lately how that is going to change when Baby Girl gets here and I am not sure how either of us is going to handle it.

    This!
    I remember that first week after we brought Baby Boy home. It was cold so when the girls would go play outside with DH, I'd be stuck inside with the baby. I desperately wanted things to be the same as they were before, wanted to be able to be there for my girls. But things had changed and I needed to adjust. We all did. It's much better now. Except for the no sleep thing, but hopefully your DD is a good sleeper :D

    im here.  I always thought it was crazy when people said stuff like that, but now I totally get it.  I feel like I'm abandoning her to have another one.   We went out to lunch the other day and I almost cried thinking it might be our last time just us.

    Thanks for the encouragement, everyone! Today was better, though I SWEAR he is HUGE now. Maybe because DD is so tiny, but DS just looks so enormous, like he had a growth spurt while I was giving birth! It makes me even more sentimental because it's just a visible reminder of how fast he is growing up!
