It doesn't make you ungrateful for your child, and it doesn't mean you don't/won't love your new life. It's a HUGE adjustment, and you're right, it's a new normal. When Charlotte was about 10 days old, I remember sitting in the bathroom and crying so hard because nothing felt the same, not even my house (I am sure post-partum hormones played a part in that, but still). <br /><br />I still look back on those pre-baby days a little wistfully because life was different, and, in some ways, more simplistic. <br /><br />Let yourself feel whatever feelings you may have, and know that they are not "wrong", they are normal. Use that baby for snuggles when you need them, and use me for venting when you need it :)LWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660266236426012190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223978424618227820.post-88167932636038442011-09-30T09:36:28.507-05:002011-09-30T09:36:28.507-05:00It's so normal and healthy to be thinking abou...It's so normal and healthy to be thinking about this. Your 4 legged kids will definitely have a different role but they will accept it willingly and they will have an instinct about your addition, I promise. It will be a challenging but an amazing transition!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829238849522998105noreply@blogger.com
