The second child comes to reinforce various things and remind you of those you had forgotten.

The second child arrives with the same love and excitement as the first, but with less hurry, less uncertainty, and far fewer fears.

The second child finds parents who are much more prepared, with more confidence in what they do and less stressed.

They come to take on the title of the younger sibling and learn to live and sleep amidst shouts, laughter, music, and the hustle and bustle of daily life.

They come to inherit used toys, and in some cases, hand-me-down clothes, and inevitably, the musical tastes of their older sibling.

They come to remind you that no matter how hard you try, you cannot have control over everything or, rather, NOTHING.

They come to remind you of how strong, dedicated, and loving you can be.

The postpartum period is experienced differently, with fewer doubts, less pain, and much more awareness of the changes in your body, learning to love and accept that new YOU.

The second child comes to transform your world, to complete your family, and to teach you that sometimes it’s good to slow down to be able to contemplate the landscape.

Don’t forget that:

YOU ARE DOING VERY WELL ❤️
