My DS was 18 months when my DD was born. About 2 weeks before she was born I remember laying in bed with DS crying my eyes out, I was so worried how DS was going to cope and about him not being my "baby" anymore, I felt so guilty for no letting him be a baby for longer. When Emily was born Harrison was there with us. He seemed to accept her straight away. The first couple of months Emily slept heaps so I was still able to spend heaps of time with Harrison. Every now and then a little bit of jealousy come out but he loves her so much. Every night I say to Harrison "love you" and he says "love sis, love mum, love dad". But its always Sis first lol. He adores her and she adores him. The love for my son never changed when DD was born, he was and still is my world, however, my daughter is also my world, I love them both and believe me if you have another child your loves grows, there is plenty to go around.
