I had 3 daughters and now have 6 grandchildren. Believe it or not you do have the capacity to love them all. You may love them in different ways but you will love them all the same amount. I used to tell my girls and now I say it to my grandchildren, I love and take care of all of you but sometimes one child needs me a little more than the rest and it is an ever changing cycle.
The love a mother has for her children is amazing and that is why when you see someone convicted of a major crime there is always a mother there to say "my child would never do such a thing."
My daughter is expecting child number three but it is her husband's second child. He too is worried that he won't be able to love his soon to be born son as much as he loves his 2 year old daughter.
Not to worry, there is enough love for each and every child.

I have 3 children, my eldest is 2. She was 14months old when my twins were born & I can safely say I still love her with all my heart. Having baby number 2, 3, 4 or whatever doesn't make you love your first any less, if anything I love her more if that's at all possible. I still get the urge to squeeze her cos she's so cute (i'm sure most parents get that urge that the kids absolutely hate!). As children get older they get up to more mischief so it may seem like you love them less as they are being told off more but that would still be happening if they were an only child!
My daughter does get very jealous of the twins but apart from giving her time with just me everyday there's not a lot i can do about that as the twins need me just as much as she does.

OMG!!!! YES!!!! It's a natural fear for mothers and probably fathers to wonder if they will be able to love the 2nd one and the 3 rd and 4th and 5th as much as the number 1 child.. Guess what you do... With my 5 I love them all as much as the other.. The love for each is a little different because I guess of the personalitys and the special things that this baby may have done and the others didn't.. Kinda hard to explain but don't worry. We were wonderfully made and the heart knows how to expand its love around as many as you have and want to love...Good Luck

Yes you do. I cryed at all of their births. I have 3. You just have to make sure to spread your time out between them. Like I take turns having one at a time go with me to the store. Just so I get a little one on one time. Your first will always be your first and their is a special connection with that child. But the love is something you will feel the same for all of them. I hope this helps you out.

Oh lordy yes! The sleep deprivation gets worse though! You evaluate everything differently with each child and find different things that bring the love to the surface.
The children on the other hand will never ever believe that you love them all equally. The trick is to make each one of them think that THEY are your greatest love! As indeed they are.

ABSOLUTLEY. I have 2 girls and for each of them my heart has expanded. I love them as individuals but they both light up my life in an unexplainable way. For those with more than one child you know what I'm talking about. It is so amazing the love you have for such a little person even before you have ever met them.
