Adding A Biological Baby After Adopting
I was so nervous to add kahlil 😭
Sage + Ira had been my permanent babies my whole motherhood, I didn’t even realize how much anxiety I had about what adding a bio babe might do.
A baby who didn’t share their dad.
A baby who wasn’t planned.
A baby who grew in my tummy.
A baby when we lived in a very small basement.
A baby when I didn’t have a husband/partner.
It was such a clunky start, too. Wow. It was really hard the first couple months. Clearly not enough me for the 3 of them. It felt like I’d ruined everything, like S and I would never want to be home with me again.
It’s still hard, but baby feeling like an awkward addition isn’t a part of the hard anymore.
This is us. We’re a little family.
Our family has lots of people and layers, too many transitions to fit into a cookie cutter or box.
But we are beautiful and we mostly love being together and we try to make lots of memories.
Today we walked 4 miles together & got treats & talked a whole lot ♥️
Happy Saturday from us to you ✨
