My story about: New Siblings
ShortOrderMom's story
July 12, 2007
When my second daughter was due, we tried to prepare my older daughter, Cassidy, as best we could. We talked to her about the new baby, told her what her name would be, let her feel the baby kick and made sure we had a gift for her from the new baby.
When D-Day came my husband brought Cassidy to the hospital to see me and her new sister, Megan. I handed Cassidy a tiny little bear and told her that Megan had brought it with her for Cassidy.
She didn't seem very interested in the bear at all and kept glancing from my face to my tummy to Megan, over and over, as if she couldn't believe that there REALLY was a baby in there!
When we got home, we tried to settle in as best we could, giving equal attention to Cassidy and Megan both. Shortly after our homecoming, though, colic set in and much of mommy and daddy's time was spent carrying, rocking, singing to and otherwise comforting Megan. A few days after this began, Cassidy came in to my bedroom while I was holding Megan and stated matter-of-factly, "Mommy, I don't like you anymore." I was devastated, but tried to remember that she didn't mean it and just needed some extra love.
Of course, she got over it; I think. She's a teen now, so I can't really tell. No matter, Mommy still loves her!
