As we near the birth of your little brother, I am experiencing a full range of emotions. Of course, I am excited, extremely excited to meet our little guy. I can't wait until that moment when I can actually hold him against my chest and kiss his sweet cheeks. I can't wait for you to hold him and tell him how much you love him. We have waited 9 long months for that moment which is less than 36 hours away.
But right now I am mostly sad. Sad because I am afraid that you, my baby girl, will be sad. That you won't understand why I am no longer just your mommy. That you will feel like you have been replaced. That you might cry for me when you are at your grandparent's and I won't be there to console you. That in these next few days when everything changes in your life, that I won't be able to be with you to help her through it. Yes, you'll get to be at the hospital with me during the day, but in those nighttime hours when a little girl needs her mommy, I won't be there for you. And that makes me so very sad.
As I sit here, crying my eyes out, I hope with all of my heart that you will understand. That you know how much I love you. That you know that I will always be there for you. That you know that you will never be replaced.

Oh honey, you've got me bawling! I remember those last days with 1 child before the next one comes, and how emotional it was. And how hard it was to leave, ugh. Your girl is well loved and you've got plenty of love to share. Plus, she gets a brother out of the deal!
Hang in there mama, Cakes is surrounded by love.
I couldn't say it any better than "coffeybunny." Cakes is a well-adjusted child that only knows love and she too has plenty to share with her brother. It will all be fine--she is secure and will be with her Nana and Pa and her cousins, and she will see you and her brother during the day. All will be well...
