Raise


Liam and Stella

The day I had Hattie, Liam and Stella came to visit us in the hospital. When Liam saw me, he ran over and hugged me. He immediately looked down at my stomach, saying, “Mama do you have a hole in your belly now? You look much prettier without that big belly.”

What were your kids’ reactions to new baby and post-pregger mama?

Cute Liam!  My son is 3 1/2 years older than his twin sisters.  When he met his sisters he said "Hey, I saw them when I lived in your belly!".  He also insists there is another little boy living in there waiting to come out.  He occassionally still asks when I am going to have his little brother.

When my older son Eoin at age 2 met his younger brother Ruairi he was immediately in love but since it was right after he was born and he hadn't been bathed yet Eoins response to being asked to give him a kiss was "maybe later, he's too dirty"

When I had my second child my daughter came to the hospital with my mother-in-law! The first thing she said was, "Mama, the doctor did a good job getting baby Khloe out of your belly." Then my husband and I decided to have just one more! So needless to say, 4 months later I was expecting again- this time a boy. She then said, "Mama, are you going to have to go to that weird place again and have the doctor remove the baby?!" She loves both of her siblings so much. My husband lost his job this year and we are about to lose our house! I must admit though, little moments like those remind you that family is all that matters at the end of the day. Congrats on baby number three. I love having three kids. I also have two girls and one boy. It's crazy but all of our kids have the same nicknames, bug, monkey, and my other little girls nickname is bear.

When my then 4-year-old daughter came to the hospital to meet her twin brothers, she cried for the first 20 minutes begging the nurses and doctors to please send one back and get her a sister! She will be 9 next week and the boys will be 5. When people ask her what she wants for her birthday, she still adds "a sister" at the end of every request! Congratulations!

When i had my daughter, my 4 year old son was so excited.. But do to the swine flu that went around in 09 he wasnt able to visit, so the day we were coming home my husband and 2 sons were waiting in the lobby of the hospital and before we could leave i had to unstrap the baby and let him hold his lil sister in the lobby.. He would not leave until he got the chance to hold her.. It was one of the sweetest things i have ever seen. After he held her he was so happy he smiled all the way home!

When i had my son ( he is now 4 years old like liam ) my daughter slammed the door open from my room in the hospital , came in searching (never looked at me ) and said with a loud voice :  ''where is my baby'' !!! ( she was 3,5 years old then )

When she found him, she sat on the bed with her brother and she held him for a looooooooong time

congratulations with your beautiful family

I realize that this board is a little old, but read some of the stories and had to share the most adorable story that I heard from my supervisor at work.  My supervisor is 3 months pregnant and has a 2 1/2 year old.  Her little girl asked her the other day if she was so excited for the baby boy in her shirt.  It's adorable the thoughts that go through little ones minds.  This little girl is convinced that her Mom is having a baby boy.  It will be interesting to see if she is right when the baby is born. :)
