and then we found out otherwise.
Yup – just when we were sure it was a girl, HA! Its a boy. I think EK will be a great big sister. What a lucky little fella – I just know that mom and sister will dote on him. Everything looks good – healthy, and we’re excited for a mid June delivery
Someone asked me lately, “So are you as excited about the second one, as you were the first?”.
The answer: Just as much.
It is hard to explain – and I guess I was skeptical that it could be true – but there is nothing redundant about having another child. Jess’s pregnancy is different, the feelings and fears that go with it are different (not less, just different) but the anticipation, excitement and wonderment are all just as high. This is a brand new life. And we have a whole lifetime to spend affected by this new person. What could be dull about that?
I don’t want to end up cynical but its difficult not to. I’m trying in earnestness to give and share our blessings through our businesses and I’m hitting brick walls. Mean emails with lots of condescension.
Now that I think about it, its probably only something like 15% of the people I am getting in touch with – but that is enough to bring me down, for sure. But you know what, you catch more bees with honey than gall, so I am just going to keep trying to do what I am trying to do because it is the right thing to do. But it sure would be easier if the people who offer these dynamite services were dynamite people.
I’ll try to stay optimistic, trusting and genuine. And hopefully it overcomes all the negativity.
