My wife is due to deliver our second child in -4 days. Meaning we are overdue and counting every second like it is an hour.
They say that these times are precious, as you count down the days until your family will forever be changed. It is somewhat awe-inspiring, especially knowing the depth of the love that you feel for your first child.
And that brings up the second thing, how can you love the second as much as the first, how can you love the first as much when you have the second. They say this is all worked out magically and miraculously after the birth, but there are still fears and doubts. We thought about naming the second one after the first one so that there will be no misunderstanding as to where our loyalties lie, but we've been told that this may not be the best idea.
We'll see.
