LL I know exactly what you mean about the feeling of disconnect when you had your first. When I had Moo I think I was in shock from the birth and the realities of having a newborn...I didn't feel like he was mine for sometime. I used to tell him I loved him in the hope that real lovey feelings would soon come. And they did. It just took time. So when I was pregnant with Buster I assumed the same thing would happen, I thought that at least I was prepared and I wouldn't feel so guilty about it! However I was happy to feel overwhelmed with love for Buster when he arrived, so you could still get that euphoric feeling And you know that if you don't, that's ok too
