I have friends who have been giving births, like. all in a row.
I am not joking leh. First Mott, congratulations to the third tike, JH.
Then there’s another friend here Anita with her second child, a boy this time, little Cedric for big sister Ashley.
And my dear friend in Penang, Avelynn, to her first baby boy, Ethan.
Years ago, there was a ratio of 4:1 i.e. four girls to a boy. Looks like now the boys are really catching up. Would I have had a boy too if we wanted another child? I would love a girl, given a choice, but of course, as long as the child is healthy. I want a girl so I can get in touch with my feminine side again, haha. Right now I am really roughing it up with Aidan, like playing Mama and Baby Dinosaurs. That is, Baby sitting on Mama’s back like riding a pony and telling Mama to go Faster! Faster!
With Baby almost half the weight (already!) of Mama’s, I think I’d better be really careful with my back. It’s time Daddy Dinosaur to buck up and take over. Funny how I am the one who is playing rough with Aidan, but Wilkin is afraid that he might get Aidan hurt? Who’s the guy here anyway?! Or is my ‘tomboy-ness’ being confirmed at last?

Some parents are so worry that if give birth to 2nd child, the 1st child will feel jealousy coz they worried dad & mum will love the little bro/sis more.
that can be very true in some cases, but it can also be encouraged in such a way for the older sibling to learn and protect the younger one. good thought though.
