I thought about them, but tried to avoid focusing on them because I knew they'd be painful and achey for me. Now that baby 2 IS on his/her way, I think I will be less inclined to look away as old baby habits fall to the wayside, and more inclined to let them into myself. In a way, having my "last" baby come first has steeled and warned me against hiding from of the lasts of the second. If that makes sense. <BR/><BR/>Which I doubt!Megan Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008925325073263825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-82450216527828928942008-02-22T07:39:00.000-05:002008-02-22T07:39:00.000-05:00What a great post, Beth!
