As the arrival of my second daughter quickly approaches, I am finding myself feeling a little sad. I want more one on one time with my baby girl Riley, who is turning one next week. I want to spoil her and give her all the attention I can before there is a newborn fighting her for it. I know I need to give her the freedom to play by herself and be independent, so there is no drastic change when the baby arrives, but I selfishly want to be with her every moment. I am cherishing the cuddles at 2:30 in the morning when she snuggles on my shoulder and coos herself back to sleep. I just can't get enough of her.
I wonder how she is going to adjust. Everyone says she is too young to be jealous of the new baby. She certainly doesn't understand her life is going to be turned upside down in 6 weeks. I guess we just wait and see what life throws at us, that's all we can do. Enjoy the ride.
