Hudson, I hate to break it to you:
But in the next 50-ish days you will be be about 14 months old & big brother to TWO little monsters.
I have a lot of guilt, here. I wanted you to enjoy time as an only child. To have memories older then your sibling(s).
I mean, I did (I DO) want more kids. Scott & I had planned on it- we thought we’d start trying when Hudson was 1. As in- NOW. But, now we find ourselves about 32 weeks into a (wonderful) surprise pregnancy – in which TWO babies will result.
Yes, I know, I clearly knew this was happening. I mean, I’ve known for probably 25 weeks now. It’s a lot of time for adjustment. But, yeah. It’s like reality set in for me this morning. There’s gonna be THREE of them. And still only one me. Panic commencing: NOW.

My sister and I are 2.5 years apart and I still don’t have any memories of being an only child. Unless you plan on 4 or 5 years in between I don’t think most kids do. I’m sure it will take some time to adjust but some day he will LOVE having siblings close enough in age to be real playmates.
My brother & I are 7 years apart. So, I guess I was spoiled.
