We just had our 2nd baby on Monday. Our DS turns two on sunday. So far, he loves his sister and has been adjusting great. But, I feel awful. I hated being away from him while in the hospital and just feel so guilty. I didn't work for the last 3 weeks before having the baby so we did every little thing together and I think that's just bumming me out even more. I physically can't do certain things with him while recovering but also obviously the baby needs me too. And I'm worried because the baby is easy right now, mostly just sleeping, so I'm worried how I'll feel when she's more needy. I expected these feelings but they're very intense and I feel so guilty and just miss my time with my son so much. Just had to share and I guess hopping for reassurance.
Re: Feeling bad for child #1
I told her off last night as she was leaving the hospital with the grandies, as she was fiddling with the door handle after I had told her several times not to.. She looked so sad I nearly cried with the guilt! Ah fun times ahead for us...
