Then, I think, "poor Nate. He's used to all of my attention and eventually he's not going to have it." <BR/><BR/>You can't feel guilty. Mila knows she is loved by both you and her big sis. It's part of having siblings. Learning to share!

Your babies are beautiful and so are you, Lillie!

As ...No doubt you are doing a fabulous job Lillie! As loved and adored as the first child is, it's probably not the way it should be. Just think, where did they get saying "babies are like pancakes, you always have to throw the first one out." It's because we ruin the first child by revolving our world around them. I know I do with my Luke. The subsequent children have a more realistic and healthy view of the world. So, if your going to feel bad for anyone, feel bad for Sophia! =)Ambyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720939693418305410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-76692005580607593852008-01-16T12:48:00.000-08:002008-01-16T12:48:00.000-08:00I don't really know if that's what automatically h...I don't really know if that's what automatically happens with the second child but I can imagine it to be so.<BR/><BR/>It's Brynne, Michelle's friend (who's obsessed with having the prefect beautiful blonde hair) again. Just a question for you. Are you sure that picture of your daughter being pushed in the swing is not you? Or is it really your sister? Is her hair naturally that blonde or is it a full all-over weave? It's beautiful! Can you send more pics of her hair that might be good enough to print and take back to my hairdresser? I'm sorry but I could use any help I can get at this point!. Thank you!Brynne, Aaron and Cadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380761234582156140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-27726713253618306162008-01-16T12:31:00.000-08:002008-01-16T12:31:00.000-08:00i for one have met mila, and i think she's a perfe...i for one have met mila, and i think she's a perfectly well-balanced and happy baby. hooray for swings, I think they allow the babies to be a part of the action without the possibility of having an accident due to doing other chores while carrying her in the sling or bjorn.<BR/><BR/>I have read that happy, healthy children are those who grow up being a PART of the family, not the CENTER of the family. I think as long as mila is where she can hear you and sophia, she is in a great interacting state, and you are doing a perfect job balancing the two. I know you lillie. I know that you always take special care to give her MORE than enough love. so no worries, okay? <BR/><BR/>wish I could walk to the market with you today. I need some cookies..oh, i mean fruit and vegetables. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571579497960098993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-22607483262247711512008-01-16T06:10:00.000-08:002008-01-16T06:10:00.000-08:00I'm a little shocked at your indifference to your ...I'm a little shocked at your indifference to your child's needs. There is a new school of thought that posits that women should never put down a second child, as this could encourage dualitical mania as they grow. The proper thing now is to have the baby in some kind of carrier, preferably a sling, but a Baby Bjorn will do, at all times, including sleep and the shower. Swings are a precursor to TV addiction, which leads to sedentary lifestyles, increased prescription of antibiotics and higher rates of autism.<BR/>There are also studies that correlate teen pregnancy with the ill-prepared state of girls who grew up listening to nature sounds and looking in funhouse-like rounded mirrors. The mirror distortion leads to lower self-esteem, increased desire for rhinoplasty, and by extension of the poor self-esteem, increased promiscuity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-69170777987328756332008-01-15T22:08:00.000-08:002008-01-15T22:08:00.000-08:00Girl, you're getting good with that camera!

And a family is not just about the sun revolving around one member of the family. You have to find that balance that allows you to focus on different people at different times. That is why two is so different, but three and four aren't that big of a jump (except for the fact that you are outnumbered.) My first lived in my arms. My second in a swing. My third in a swing and carseat. My fourth in a carseat. (While the older two were in piano, soccer, tennis, dance, etc.) By the way, I felt much more guilty about the carseat than the swing. But every member of the family has needs and wants. Take care of the needs first. Then don't feel guilty when the wants sometimes get pushed aside. You are doing great and swings are the best.The rlmmmmcaress familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393202441209137144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-9013727027270189062008-01-15T20:34:00.000-08:002008-01-15T20:34:00.000-08:00It's also the lot of the 2nd, 3rd, and I'm banking...It's also the lot of the 2nd, 3rd, and I'm banking on 4th child too. I say we let go of the guilt and be greatful for the overwhelming technology :) we have been blessed with as mothers. Such as swings, bouncy chairs, musical toys that can be played with the feet, and refridgerateable teething rings.
