The Siblings Smith

Nothing is more special than seeing siblings together. Knowing I grew each one inside my body, birthed them and then introducing them to the world are all miracles in and of themselves. Seeing how unique their personalities are is mind blowing. But having them connect and relate to each other? Pure magic.

My biggest concern when I was pregnant with Brielana was how Kinsey was going to cope with sharing her parents. And that transition has been the hardest to date. Not just for Kinsey but for myself. Mom guilt was STRONG during the first year and I am so relieved it has passed. And I wonder in hindsight, if my worries and fears somehow transferred onto Kinsey, making that time that much more difficult(?)

I am relieved to say adding Clark to our family has been so much easier! I don't know if it's because Brielana is so different personality-wise or if its due to his gender, but throwing in a third kid to this mix has been a blessing.

Kinsey is still rocking the best big sister role. She craves her Clark cuddles and is upset when she has to relinquish her time with him (usually for a feeding, so what can you do?)
Brielana vacillates between calling him “Baby Brother” and “Baby Clark” or “that boy” depending in the situation lol. She loves petting his soft hair and cheeks and is the go-getter of diapers and pacis.

I don't want to sound like we have everything down; we're still dealing with some night waking from Brielana and a bit of 6-going-on-16 sass from Kinsey, but as far as everything baby-related goes, we are all just smitten. I guess it doesn't hurt that the guy sleeps like 90% of the time ;)

But in all honesty motherhood has been the single most important gift in my life and I couldn't have been blessed with better babes. God certainly knows what He is doing!
