I had to steal this off of Marie's blog again. You rock! Thank you again for these memories. Now let me tell you about my little girl. She is the sweetest, most loving little angel. She has the best smile and the best
temperament. What makes me so sad is that most people just don't know it, or really anything about her. Is this the curse of the second child? When Connor was born, we had visitors from the day he arrived til months after with people wanting to meet him, see him and spend time getting to know him. People showered him with attention. My little girl just hasn't had that kind of introduction to the people in her world. I cannot begin to tell you how many people have still not met her. I guess I am feeling very over protective of her, I know she has no idea how different her life is compared to how her big brother's was, and I vow right now to never make her feel like the "second born". I do take pictures of her, I do write in her baby book, I do read to her, sing to her, talk to her. I know it is different, but for us it is different in a good way. She is our baby! My one friend said to me that the initial glow of having a baby is over for everyone, and that she will never have the big hurrah that Connor received. Is this how it works for the second born? I was a first born, I really have no idea how I was received or if it was different for my brother. Does anyone know if it's the same in other households???

When we were kids, I remember once my sister said, "I was something you'll never be.... an only child." Haha. I think at the time I was hurt or jealous or something, but Melanie and I are so different that I never thought of what you are worrying about. Conner won't ever see the world from Jordyn's eyes and she won't ever see it from his. They will both have their own unique experiences. And in due time - when they are happy and grown - they will claim the attention in life they want and deserve. :) That's when it's most important. I don't think you need to worry.

I was frantically searching for a miracle cure for really horrible diaper rash when I stumbled across your blog. I decided I had to stay long enough to look around a bit.. and, further, to stop and tell you (as if you don't know this already) that you have a truly gorgeous family!
Congratulations on your newest sweet addition - and don't worry.. someday she'll steal the show. :)
