Well, color me flummoxed. That sounds like a whole lot of Lucy in the Sky of Diamonds thinking!

Well, let's see how long that lasts when the baby gets a massive diaper rash with some awesome diarrhea and projectile vomiting, and crying constantly in between. Commercials are good for showing babies at their absolute best. We both know real life rarely meets those expectations.
But in the grand scheme of things, I'm making a bet. And I'd bet my mortgage on this one. Seriously. Once that baby comes, YOU are going to be the one who falls head over heels in love with him/her! I don't care how much you work or fret - you're going to see your son in that baby and it's all going to be behind you. 'Cause that's how I see you, my friend.
Who's betting with me?
As my mom and I agree, babies have a way of making people come together when the pieces are supposed to come together. You and your kids are a family, and I'm also guessing that your son is going to see your contributions in awe and probably exalt you once he sees how difficult it is. You may still have hardships, but love isn't one of them. You're a rock star in that category!
Don't bite your tongue too much. You need it!
Hugs and love,
Betsey
