My newest niece Piper Grace was born July 5th. When I saw her I just wanted to scoop her up and snuggle her soft little body in my arms. She looks so tiny with her wrinkly skin, and squinty eyes.
Yesterday my sister and I were talking about how they were adjusting from one to two, and how her 2 year old son is coping with the new baby.
This brought back a rush of memories for me of when I brought home my second baby.
I remember the day that the two girls met for the first time. Ximena came running into the hospital room and wanted me to hold her I was holding her new sister so quickly asked someone to take her for me.
Is all I wanted to do at that moment was cry.
Cry with happiness of seeing the two of them together. But there was also a sharp pain I felt in my heart at having to divide my love between my two babies.
I had no idea what was coming and looking back on that year I consider it one of the best yet and also one of the hardest.
To my sister I say good luck! You are an amazing mama! Things will be hard sometimes but also beautiful.
Swings really do fly.
