I am not alone in these irrational fears and apparently I will never understand the multiplication of love, the growth of my heart, the beautiful gift of being able to love so much from God, I will not understand that which I have been told until that baby is cuddling with me two weeks from today.

We have done our best to prepare Adrian for his little brother.

We got him a special big brother T-shirt that matches a little-brother onesie. We have walked him through the baby’s new room and gadgets and we were able to find books and shows that approach the subject of becoming a big brother.

Overall, Adrian seems excited. He points to my belly and says, \"Baby brother come out,\" and he kisses my belly and says, \"Love you baby brother.\" I don’t think he fully understands, though, because he will pull up his own shirt and point to his own belly saying, \"Baby in here.”

Either way, I am less worried about his reaction and more about mine. I just want to be fair and I want to give them both all the love and support they deserve.

I am realizing now that mommy fears, guilt and joys will all be doubled. I don’t know how you all who have done it before me have done it but that is what keeps me going. Your awesome responses have been so comforting and encouraging.

So, now I will take that clutter of frenetic questions that keep popping up in my head and focus the energy on the love and joy I already feel.

I am no longer going to worry and just enjoy every day before and after because I don’t know that I will ever have the chance to do this again and I feel so fortunate to have this opportunity.

I get to be a mom times two. That is pretty darn special.

Adrian already asking to hold his little brother????????new baby boy coming February 2018!
