Isn’t he cute?! Little Monkey and I have been two peas in a pod since he was born. He is now four years old and this summer will become a big brother. And I seem to be having some serious guilt over this. Lately at least once a week I have a nightmare that I have lost Little Monkey somewhere. It really shakes me up. I know that somewhere in that I know it isn’t just about losing him which I worried about before this pregnancy, but I am also worried about trying to split my attention between two kids. Can I really balance it? Will Little Monkey feel pushed aside? Right now he is excited about becoming a big brother. He says that his brother is already his best friend, but I know the reality hasn’t set in because a baby is a lot easier in the womb. As much as I want to rush this little guy out, I know that once he is out he will require a lot more of me and my attention than he does now. So many things will change and I’m not ready.
How did you cope with guilty feelings of bringing a sibling home? How did you help your child adjust to a new baby in the house?
Well, if you couldn’t tell recently I had become completely overwhelmed with life. I haven’t had time to stop by and say hello to my readers or even stop by and visit with my favorite bloggers. I’ve felt so out of the loop. I guess a little spring cleaning has helped to motivate me to get my blog back in order. I missed you all and your wonderful comments!
And, if you’ve missed the memo – still very much pregnant with Baby Boy #2.
Here is our latest family photo…yeah, this is why we don’t do family portraits! 
Still trying to figure out who your kid resembles the most? Try My Heritage’s Look-alike Meter. The hubby and I are still trying to figure it out. Little Monkey looks more like the hubby to me, but people always say that there are features on him that look more like mine. I don’t know. What I do know for sure is that my son took on my attitude with his heavy sighs, short temper, and trying to use his cuteness to get out of trouble!
And if you get really bored or just want to be amused you can try out the Celebrity Collage! I’ll take these results! These ladies are all beautiful.
Disclosure: I have not received any compensation for posting this. I was asked to consider sharing the information. And I’ve actually used these meters before, so I thought this would be fun.
Please pay no mind to my hubby’s clothing. This is what happens when I don’t help him.
Hooray! I’m all better!!! That was a pretty rough cold.
And here’s what I get to do now that I feel better…
Don’t you wish you were me?!
Other than trying to get over that horrible cold, our Memorial Day holiday weekend was fun. We made a last minute trip to visit the in-laws. We had lots of fun. Little Monkey had lots of fun with his 10 year old uncle! It was kinda nice to have an older child to keep Little Monkey busy during the days to the point that he would pass out hard at night. We just made it back home today, so I’m off to get a good night’s sleep and continue cleaning tomorrow.
