I found some helpful information on babycenter.com and hope it will help you out too! I still feel guilty for not giving my dog the attention I used to before Felicity, so I can't imagine what I'll feel like with another kid! Praying for your sweet family. I know you will adapt beautifully!Kirby Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15382146352523520866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422890339182590505.post-19342307765623897212011-03-28T08:38:05.830-07:002011-03-28T08:38:05.830-07:00Greer- when you figure out how to manage your time...Greer- when you figure out how to manage your time with two, you should DEFINITELY write a book! You are such a talented writer and I love reading your posts here. I'm sure a book would be even more satisfying! <br /><br />Speaking of... thanks for a new post!The Gordonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284319255406665890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422890339182590505.post-43391792982001484772011-03-28T05:22:21.431-07:002011-03-28T05:22:21.431-07:00I feel for you, Greer.

I don't know what I would do if there weren't some helpful text out there during a huge thing like baby #2. I can't really relate, but tell you what my mom, Aaron's mom, and my sister-in-law told me: the guilt is there and you feel it more often than you hope, but that it makes the older children more independent and teaches them to work their own little creative minds to start problem solving on their own. So you can be proud that you are encouraging your sweet Laine to start higher level thinking at such a young age. Plus, you are giving Laine her best friend for ever. I don't know what I would do without my little sister. <br /><br />I think you should write a book, back to the main topic. You are a great writer. For being un-married, a non-home-owner, and not at all wanting to have kids any time soon, I love reading your blog just because you write so beautifully. (and of course to keep up on adorable little Laine and you of course.)p-leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990422871407810936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422890339182590505.post-65535892988074326512011-03-27T10:35:23.971-07:002011-03-27T10:35:23.971-07:00Greer- I can totally relate!

Napping and lazily dreaming about the nursery and perusing all the baby aisles at Target without distraction is no longer a luxurious, introspective prenatal pasttime! Just know that you are giving your sweet little girl a sibling and witnessing that relationship develop between my 5 year old and (almost!) 1 year old has been such an amazing experience! But, motherhood is a tricky balancing act: you are never alone, but sometimes can feel lonely. Simultaneously needing personal space but yearning for adult communication is all too familiar over here!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813761273498648050noreply@blogger.com
