For some unexplainable reason, I only remember the first one being born and
all the excitement surrounding him. The second one somehow did not get that
much hoopla and picturese and visits and cards and good wishes. But they
are both wonderful equally.
When the first one arrived, the magic came with him. And the realization of
how much my mother and father loved me.
Now, you have to be withing sight for years to make sure she is not choking
on something or getting into the electrical outlets, etc. Or falling off
the kitchen counter when she is trying to get into the cookie jar.
It's a different world. And when the planned number of children are there,
often a woman would like to raise them by herself. A new culture, supported
strongly from all angles.
I am wishing you, your lady and the baby a great time in health and great
spirit.
Zoltan
