Transitions…

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a planner... so when we decided to expand our family I tried to prepare our firstborn as much as possible for the change.

I wanted his transition into big brotherhood to not only be as painless as possible... but to also be something he was overjoyed about...!

My husband and I spent all this time preparing him... but I didn’t prepare myself for the shift in the relationship with my first born.

There were many days/nights where I would cry at the thought of losing the special bond I had with him... dramatic yes... but I mean... for the past 4 years our world basically revolved around him.

Over time I grew to appreciate that although the dynamics had changed it was a good change. With some trial and error, communication, and creativity we quickly started to embrace a newfound bond... idk if it is the big brother title, the pandemic, or what... but he has truly blossomed over the past several months and I realize the shift was inevitable... and necessary for him to gain his independence...

Can any other mommas relate?? Comment below!
