It’s amazing how such a life changing thing can feel so natural and right. Since we welcomed Doodle into our family nearly 4 weeks ago, it’s been like we were never without him. I can hardly even remember what our life was like before our little man joined the family. Sure, I remember the extreme discomfort of late pregnancy and I remember how much easier it was to load the car with only two children but the new few inconveniences of having him are hardly noticeable.
I’m not going to pretend like life with three is easy, but life with Honeybun, Sugarplum and Doodle feels like it was always meant to be. We still have our crying and screaming moments (sometimes all 4 of us at the same time!) but it doesn’t feel hard. It doesn’t feel overwhelming. It doesn’t feel like I’ve gotten myself in too deep.
Leading up to Doodle joining our family, I had a lot of worries about how I would cope and how I would get everything done and make sure everyone was getting what they needed but it hasn’t been a problem. Doodle has just fit into our lives like the missing piece to a puzzle. He fills a hole without encroaching on anyone else’s spot.
I couldn’t have asked for an easier transition and am so thankful it has been so calm and natural. I can’t even imagine life now without him in it and am excited for when he is up moving, talking and laughing and becomes a more active part of our family. He truly is the perfect addition to our already pretty amazing family!
