For us having a bab...I wouldn't worry too much. For us having a baby was a BIG adjustment. But it is more like an evolution than anything else. It will help your love for eachother grow deeper now that you have a human with both of you. There may be less time to spend together but that will make it all the more sweet. Now we can't imagine our life without Ava. She is a part of us just like we are apart of eachother. It is a beautiful thing. Sometimes your mommy brain will overide your wifey brain. You just have to explain that to him, that sometimes it is impossible to ignore something you need to do for your(both of yours :)) baby, even if he doesn't understand just yet. Just make sure to connect with him when you can. I am so happy for you!!Laura Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678585090304430685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139933170224696069.post-35852522335676807952011-09-07T09:24:23.138-05:002011-09-07T09:24:23.138-05:00leslie - thank you SO much for your encouraging w...leslie - thank you SO much for your encouraging words. what you said totally makes sense. hearing from people who have done it before really helps. :)<br />mirela - you're exactly right! and yes, they will both be wonderful fathers. glad we get to do this together!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554696347674830609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139933170224696069.post-56459009233636271322011-09-07T00:56:21.665-05:002011-09-07T00:56:21.665-05:00Claire, I feel ya!!!

It's like you're grieving the loss of "no more just the two of us" at the same time you're excited about this new lil' person. It's hard for me to think about "sharing" Brad with baby girl, but at the same time I know he'll be a great father and continue to be a great husband. Just like Colt! You're not alone AT ALL. :)Brad and Mirelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682669210398772104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6139933170224696069.post-14970106053447144802011-09-06T19:12:22.410-05:002011-09-06T19:12:22.410-05:00Oh you are SO normal! I once sobbed in the middle...Oh you are SO normal! I once sobbed in the middle of an innocent night of television watching with Jonathan over the same feelings. In some ways, I think you sort of grieve the loss of those newlywed years before having a baby. And things ARE a little different post-baby. But if you continue to find ways to stay connected to your spouse, you find a new normal, and--even better--the journey of parenthood makes you fall even deeper in love.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525890489342635502noreply@blogger.com
