Hi Jennifer,

I'm so excited to get your news and so pleased to hear that your little one is bringing you so much pleasure.

I agree with Ellie that I'd like to see what you are putting into your R (short of being civil and not gagging!) For my part, my babies have been much easier to love than my H and yet babies survive much more easily than their parents' R. I think the seeds of neglect in our R were sown with each baby.

Of course, S will seem annoying to you if you are wired like many of us mothers. As my sister often says, there is no competition when it comes to a fully grown man versus an adorable sweet-smelling baby. (She is in love with baby number 3 at the moment and doesn't think she'll ever want to ML with her H again now that her family feels complete.)

I know you feel detached from S right now but you certainly did lots of DBing to get him back. I still remember that time and then your reunion. Your feelings for him may change again in the future. Don't give up on your R--for your sake and your D's.

I hope to read more from you and look forward to following your sitch. Hang in there and give S some affection!

xoxo Wendy
