Attached

Taylor has been overly attached to me lately...and I have a theory. This same thing happened with Katelyn when Taylor's due date was approaching. I think Taylor can sense that the baby is coming soon and is having a hard time with the feeling of "being replaced" as the baby. It breaks my heart to think that she might be afraid or unsure of this new baby, but I know that it is normal. Most of the time I love the extra attention and affection from both of the girls, and am soaking in every precious moment. It gets hard when she has her meltdowns and won't go to anyone else but me, and cries whenever I leave her with anyone. But I try to take it all in stride. Katelyn and Taylor will always be my babies, and I hope they know how much I love them each individually.

Awww, it happens but my favorite is watching how much the kids love the new baby once it actually arrives. Getting there Jamie :)
