Sometimes I feel bad, though, because I don’t want baby boy to grow up and see what is missing when compared to his big sister. Something as simple as the memory book, you know? Not too late, though, I can still do this!

There are many more benefits to it than negatives though in my opinion. I love how relaxed and comfortable I’ve become as a mother. I love knowing what to do in almost any situation and trusting my instincts. The only thing is that I feel a little guilty about is that our first son was kind of a guinea pig. LOL … For example, Carlos finally came around to the idea of speaking more Spanish at home after our 2nd son was born. Because our 2nd child heard more Spanish as an infant, his accent is more natural when he speaks while our first son struggles a little more. Seems really unfair but what can you do?
