I finished work at 23.00 on the 10th July and was looking forward to ten days or so just to get some final things organised , get more food in the freezer and have time to relax and have a few more swims.I found my thoughts falling into the realisation that our life was about to take another substantial change. We had gone from a child free couple to having one .In this case you have never had the experience of having a child and everything about your perspective on life changes .You learn daily about being a parent ,a mother,a father and a partner. How are we going to adapt from having one child to having two ? What is this little person going to be like ? How is it going to fit in with already established family.Is it going to sleep well , or will it cry for the next 3 years ? What temperment will it be ? Spirited, moody, grumpy or angel ? We had adapted well from having no children to having one, better than we had ever imagined , however Heather has been, to us, an angel baby and she really has been a blessing to us and continues to be so.They say you only get one angel...and so far Heather has been ours. The expectation bar has been set extremely high for the next child...poor little thing!! But are we going to be as lucky this time round? ...Hope to God ..Yes....reality ..No !!!
So what is the transition going to hold for us this time .How will it fit into our little family and what is Heather going to make of the new addition ? After all ,she has been our main focus for 22 months now and everything is going to change for her too. Perhaps it is going to be a bigger adaptation for Heather, who has had our full attention , and now there is going to be another little person, who isn't going to leave ?
