To parents of multiples with a singleton child.
I’m newly postpartum so please be gentle. I need to hear from parents of multiples with other children or a singleton. I just gave birth to 2 beautiful, healthy twin baby boys 2 days ago.
I haven’t seen my 2 year old daughter in days or introduced them yet and I’m feeling so anxious/sad/worried about their first encounter and how life will change for her from here on out. Apart from that, I miss her so much and I can’t help but think about her as a newborn and how much she’s grown and I’m already feeling so guilty for the near future and the fact that I will inevitably be spending less time with her.
Is this feeling I described familiar to you? How can I be intentional with my time with my firstborn yet still create a bond with two new babies? What worked for your family? Advice needed.
