Creating Memories as We Grow Together
Today was another beautiful day filled with laughter, love, and the anticipation of new beginnings. As I sit down to write this journal entry, my heart is overflowing with gratitude for the incredible journey we are on as a family. Each passing day brings us closer together and creates memories that will be cherished forever.
Riku's Mischievous Adventures
Our little bundle of joy, Riku, has grown so much since he came into our lives almost two years ago. He is a spitting image of his father – black hair and eyes that sparkle with mischief. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly children develop their own personalities.
Riku has become quite mischievous lately! He loves exploring every corner of our home and leaving behind a trail of toys in his wake. His infectious giggles fill the air as he pulls pranks on Mason or clings onto me like there's no tomorrow while declaring proudly that I'm only his mommy.
The Breastfeeding Struggles
One aspect about raising Riku that has been challenging for both Mason and myself is his stubbornness when it comes to breastfeeding. While most kids gradually transition away from breast milk around this age, Riku shows no interest in anything else but nursing.
It worries me sometimes if he'll ever outgrow it or if I'm doing something wrong as a mother by not being able to wean him off completely yet. But then again, every child develops at their own pace, right? Mason always reassures me that everything will work out fine in due time.
Anticipating Miku's Arrival
As my belly continues to grow rounder each passing day with Miku nestled safely inside, thoughts naturally turn towards how Riki will react when his baby brother arrives into our lives soon.
I can't help but wonder if jealousy would rear its head once Miko starts breastfeeding too? Will Riku feel threatened or neglected? These questions often keep me up at night, but Mason's unwavering support and reassurance help quell my worries.
A Bond That Grows Stronger
As we navigate through these exciting yet challenging times, one thing is certain – our bond as a family grows stronger with each passing day. The love that fills our home is palpable, and it wraps around us like a warm embrace.
Mason has been the epitome of care and protectiveness throughout this journey. He always ensures that I'm comfortable, takes over parenting duties when exhaustion kicks in, and showers both Riku and me with affection. His presence brings a sense of security to our little world.
Cherishing Every Moment
There is something incredibly special about witnessing the growth of your children firsthand. From those first tentative steps to their never-ending curiosity about the world around them - every milestone feels like an incredible achievement for all of us.
I find myself cherishing even the smallest moments – bedtime stories filled with giggles from Riku's mischievous antics or stolen kisses on chubby cheeks before they drift off into dreamland. These are memories that will forever be etched in my heart.
Embracing Change
As Miku's arrival draws closer by each passing day, change becomes inevitable for all of us. Our routines will shift once again as we learn how to balance two little ones instead of just one.
While there may be challenges along the way - sleepless nights, tantrums galore – I know deep down that we have what it takes to face them head-on as a team.
With Mason by my side supporting me unconditionally and helping create beautiful memories together every step of the way, our family continues to grow not only in size but also in love.
