Tell me your experience with having a second child and developing a relationship. We both love our first born in a way that can’t be described. Did you feel that immediately with baby #2, or eventually, or never…?

I felt a lot of guilt at first because I was so tired when I was pregnant and had very little energy to play with my toddler. When 2 was born I then felt so guilty that I couldn’t give her as much attention as I gave her sister, and that I could no longer give 1 as much attention as before. I didn’t attach as quickly to my second but I did eventually. Maybe a couple months or so? I feel the same about them both now. 2 starts school this year and I’m so sad I’m not going to have my little buddy home with me all day.
I’m exhausted but having two is nice. I really love watching and listening to them play together (although their fighting makes me want to stab myself in the ears). Helping them build a strong friendship with each other is really rewarding.
