[quote=Anonymous]I didn't have such a severe reaction but I definitely had thoughts along the same lines. My second son was a surprise and I was so enamored with my first that I was secretly a little annoyed that I was having a second so soon. But as soon as I had the newborn my first seemed so much bigger (he was only 20 months) and always seemed to make things harder. I felt the same way, that maybe I loved my first a little less. BUT.. it definitely got better and I can say 100% that I love them both equally. The older one is now a fantastic big brother and so sweet. In my mind I theorized that it is somewhat natural. The new baby needs so much more from you than a two year old. I would also keep in mind two year olds are trying on a good day and you are likely sleep deprived and overwhelmed. I would just do your best to remember how much you really do love the first born and remember these feelings are only temporary. Get help wherever you can and be kind to yourself! [/quote]
