Kieran's Almost Here

Kieran Joseph McLeod is almost here.  Am I ready for him, I don't really know.  I keep telling myself it will be ok, he's the second kid and I should know how this show goes. That's what I keep telling myself.  There is this other voice that nags at me with questions like:

• How are you going to handle Sean being jealous?
• What if breast feeding is not really for you?
• I wonder how much sleep you are going to get?
• Two?  Two boys?
• How is John (hubby) going to handle working from home with a loud toddler and a new baby?
• College fund/s?

Mostly I think I am worried about how Sean will react to having another sibling to share the spotlight with, not to mention all the trains that we can't seem to help buying for him. 

But then, they say that boys have a special bond with their moms and they will love her forever (there's got to be a reason a lot of guys have "Mom" tattoos, right?).


I have decided that I will live by the mantra, "Just keep calm".

Let's see if I actually can.
