transition
in labor, at home
is painful
Me and my babies–aren’t they beautiful? Ben sports his big brother sweatshirt, though he’s still not at all sure about the role.
After spending nearly 9 months worrying about being separated from her, I never would have guessed that being separated from him (while I’m tied to the nursing chair, changing a bazillion newborn diapers, trying to sleep while my parents are still here to help) would be the hardest part so far of becoming mother-of-two.
This is transition, I keep reminding myself, and we’ll make it. Still, I can hardly wait until I’m healed enough from the birth to be able to lift Ben when he reaches for me.

Hey Bri! Congrats. She definitely is beautiful. And I remember crying about “missing” Elle. I couldn’t lift her for a few weeks and having Keira attached to me all the time didn’t leave much time for Elle. I did miss her so much. Even in the hospital I cried because she couldn’t come visit one day. She had a fever.
Brianna, I love hearing about this transition for you. I’m very torn about having another baby, so I want to hear all about it.
The transition is really hard. I remember it being hard not to lift Andrew…I cheated, though. It’s easier now, but still hard. Andrew is slowly getting better and he’s trying to understand that he can’t always have mommy’s attention. We have some bad days, though. Ben will understand soon. Hang in there Momma…I love you!
