We talked about all the things they'd do with the baby so when he FINALLY came, they were so excited. They've been in love ever since. :) <br /><br />That's not to say of course, like you mentioned, that they're weren't (isn't) adjustments! But jealousy? Nope. <br /><br />I agree with you--expect what you want to see in your children--the very best! :) (easier said than done sometimes!)

I do want to say that it *somewhat* depends on whether you've had Irish twins or not. My babies were so close in age that the youngest was still a baby himself. While I did not give in to his tantrums, and I did not expect them in advance, they *did* happen. He was not old enough to understand who the baby was and was not very verbal so he did cry and want me because he was feeling displaced. I say this because I know your intentions are to encourage moms and I don't want them to think that if they *do* see some tantrums in the beginning and have to correct them, that it's because they "expected" or "facilitated" them. Sometimes, in the beginning, they do happen. They will pass!Hannahhttp://tenthousandhoursdotco.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-56446382778910295042013-12-08T18:00:46.200-06:002013-12-08T18:00:46.200-06:00Great article Jess, it's very true.

A new baby means lots more love!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753132169585551910noreply@blogger.com
