When I was pregnant with my second baby, I mourned the loss of my cute little family of three. But here's why I was so, so wrong to worry.
The night I took the pregnancy test, two-year-old Beatrice was sleeping over at my parents’ place, which meant I could cry as loudly as I wanted. And I did—though they weren’t happy tears.
We decided to stop talking about it around Bea’s second birthday. Once we cut out all the noise, we realized we wanted a second kid. Mostly. But maybe not right away. We wanted to be able to change our minds. We’d go with the flow. It had taken almost five months to conceive Beatrice; surely it wouldn’t happen right away.
One day, as I agonized again—still—over how I was surely betraying Beatrice, my wisest friend cut the sh*t and asked what I was so afraid of.“It’s never going to stay exactly as it is now anyway. Life doesn’t work like that,” she replied. So simple, no-nonsense. She was right.that snapped me out of my funk. This baby was real and had a cute button nose and wild arms, and he was coming. And soon. Mourning my relationship with our one and only Beatrice soon made way for anxious preparations.
It was largely a tag-team, divide-and-conquer effort for the first few years, but with a difference: Nothing felt as urgent or as dire. We knew that as awful as the sleepless jags were, they weren’t forever. We knew that if Orsonhe might eat tomorrow’s breakfast. Or not. He wouldn’t starve. When a newborn Bea was napping in the bassinet, I had bustled around the house, getting things done. But I spent the early days with Orson frogged up on my chest while the hours melted away.
