Thoughts and Feelings of Being a New Mom - Again

Sitting here days after giving birth to my second child, my head spins with thoughts, feelings and emotions. I am not sure exactly how a man is suppose to feel after becoming a mum for the second time, I'm not even sure how she should feel after becoming a mum for the first time. However, I can assure you the two experiences are very different. With my son, I was overprotective, emotional, and scared. I remember advent home from the hospital and wanting every person to just go away so I could be alone with him, hover over him, and not let anyone else touch him. Visitors came and visitors went, it seemed like they'd never leave. I remember thinking and so I'm told even saying out loud, "I'm assuredly tired, I think I need a nap", in hopes that they would get the hint and leave. My husband says at times I was on the verge of rude, and I'm not regularly a rude person.

This time was separate assuredly hours after giving birth to my second child, a daughter, I had a room full of friends and family, at the hospital I might add and I was assuredly sitting up in bed laughing my head off at their antics. After advent home, more friends and house flooded in and I just sat back smiling as they ooohed and ahhed over my daughter. It was not until the understanding hit me that I was going to be caring for two that I even got the least bit scared. My husband was home for a week therefore; I had not yet experienced trying to do that on my own. However, as soon as the understanding hit me, an additional one one did as well, "If she can do it, I can do it." She being all those moms you see in the grocery store, with newborn in the car seat and an additional one child hanging on the end of the basket. I began to get a tiny more confident, I had completed other difficult tasks in my life, and surely, I can do this.

I have not yet discovered how I will make this all work, being that it is all still very new, however, I know that I will be caught trying to be the best mum I can possibly be.
