I've heard it said that with every person we love another room is added to our heart. It doesn't diminish the love for those already there it just increases the love we are capable of.

Happy 9 months Joel. You are loved and missed.

I'd bake a cake for his birthday too, and eat plenty and let the peppers celebrate their older brother with you.

This splitting of time. I get it. I didn't feel it in relation to caring for Sy and not the other babies. I think I doted on Sy more BECAUSE of the babies. It was like he was a part of them. But I felt it with Ivy. About a month after finding out I was pregnant with her, Sy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. And I felt it again, just multiplied.

But then I had Ivy and she's amazing. And the heart expands. And love expands and expands and expands.

Thinking of you today, my sweet friend and sending so much love.

I think you are so right, every mothers feels this when adding the next member to the family. Yours, maybe just a little magnified.

I love seeing little tiny Joel. I can't wait until you get to tell those babies everything about him. Maybe they'll even share something they know about him that you don't.
