It's always hard to share your time amongst your children...try it FOUR ways with teenagers running one way and little Miss C. running the other way...and we won't even talk about what direction the boy is running...but it's NEVER hard to share your love. You will just be amazed at how you can love another child so deeply! <BR/><BR/>Much love from the Martens...Cindy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909636830406739852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544456.post-78195978796034041462008-10-16T12:29:00.000-04:002008-10-16T12:29:00.000-04:00I can't say I know how you feel, but I've had plen...I can't say I know how you feel, but I've had plenty of friends that have said the same thing. It's hard to think about doubling your time/love/heart--you're such a faithful person, I'm sure God will bring it all together for the 4 of you!

All of your emotions are totally understandable. If it makes you feel better, you have those same type thoughts every time another child is added to the family. There is the one that is the baby before the next, it's hard, but it works, you'll see. You will be a wonderful mommy to both Kylie and Caleb!! I just know it, sending cyber hugs your way!! <BR/>Blessings <BR/>NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035014932111024923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544456.post-67125330152837424872008-10-16T10:35:00.000-04:002008-10-16T10:35:00.000-04:00Remember how I told you I cried every time I looke...Remember how I told you I cried every time I looked @ Anah before Sera was born. I understand the overwhelming love you feel for Kylie, but trust me, God can multiply it. Just imagine how big His love is and He made us in His image. In no time, you will be wondering how you, Ian, and Kylie ever had life without Caleb. Until then, put off the "stuff." None of it matters. Enjoy the good times with your family. The tasks that come with daily life are not as precious as your time w/your kid(s). A clean, organized house will come one day. As a matter of fact, I am still waiting on mine....<BR/><BR/>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544456.post-44147153579899167812008-10-16T10:20:00.000-04:002008-10-16T10:20:00.000-04:00My precious girl. I felt the same way when right ...My precious girl. I felt the same way when right before I had your sister....how can I ever love another like I love the first? Well, God has His miraculous way of filling you with more love for each than you could ever imagine.<BR/>You are not "bad" you are very "normal".<BR/><BR/>You have been under so much stress and it delights my heart to watch as you turn it all over to God and see how you recognize His interventions.<BR/><BR/>I have prayed constantly for the three of you. Know that God will have a big breakthrough for Ian and allow him to get this project finished on time. Trust that you will stop and take all of the time that you and Kylie need for each other. Wish I was closer and could be there to fill in some of the love.<BR/><BR/>Miss the three of you terribly but know that you are right where you need to be - in the arms of God. This has been shown to be His plan for your lives for now.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I love the new blog design. What a thrill to see our little Caleb there with Kylie!<BR/><BR/>Love, LaoLaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30544456.post-52613874049218242942008-10-15T21:22:00.000-04:002008-10-15T21:22:00.000-04:00{{ Hugs! }}{{ Hugs! }}Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189747146633744181noreply@blogger.com
