STMs...anyone else felt/feel like this?

So prior to getting pregnant, I always looked at DS and asked myself "How in the world will I be able to love another child as much as I love him?" I totally understood why people have only one child. This week, after my ultrasound, it finally hit me. Like REALLY hit me. I have enough love to give to this little guy! I have enough love to still love DS1 the same way, and love DS2. It took me a while to get here. I've always been excited about the pregnancy, but fearful maybe that I wouldn't know how to love this little guy. Anyone else felt or feel like this?

    I'm so glad to have finally gotten to this point, and i'm sure that's exactly what it will be like...love multiplying. Don't know what I was worried about either!

    Yes definitely. You always hear that. "How can I possibly love this one as much?" And I really experienced that b/c my daughter is 8 years old and we've been through a divorce and then a single mom with just her and now remarried to a wonderful man. It's been just her for so long. But after seeing the NT scan, I felt that love also and I'm so happy that she gets a sibling. She's been asking for one for years!

    Oh my word this was me 100%. Buy taking with friends who have 2+ kids, they say your love really DOES multiply. My heart literally feels like it's going to burst when I think of my two little girls playing together, and hire great it will be having them grow up together, and having WAY in the future two grown daughters <3

    I've ALWAYS said this to DH prior to this pregnancy - how can I love anything as much as I love E? He always laughed at me and said he has no doubt that we have plenty of love to give. He's much sweeter and mushy than I am, lol.

    I'm still wondering how my heart will hold so much love without bursting, but I am confident it will! I love DS more than anything and it's exciting to know that there will be someone else for me and DH to share that love with. I feel like you must grow an extra heart for each kid.

    My grandma said she felt the same way when she had her second child. I did too, so her sharing that with me was really helpful. It is so hard to imagine loving another child until they arrive, and just like kielpinskim said, your love multiplies!

    In a similar vein, I feel a little guilt at the idea of DD no longer getting all of our attention, even though intellectually I don't think it would ultimately be good for her to have all of our attention!

    I remember feeling that way when I was pregnant with my 2nd child, and then when we adopted our 3rd child, since I didn't know what it would be like to love a child that I didn't give birth to. It really is amazing how love multiplies and there's more than enough to go around. 

    And honestly, the joy of seeing your children interact with each other is a bit addictive. It's one of the reasons why I want a large family. Seeing my older boys play with and help out their little sisters, and seeing how excited they all are about a new baby is seriously the best thing ever.

    Agreed. I was feeling guilty because I have been so sick and haven't been feeling very attached to this one. Finally feeling movement and feeling better, those feeling are going away.

    I feel that way and its number three. I know it won't be an issue, but my daughter and I have SUCH a strong bond, it's hard to imagine another little person fitting into that. She, on the other hand, explains to me all the time that our third best friend is in my tummy. :):)
