Laura Vissaritis Instagram – Many have asked me how I manage to keep Chester as number 1, whilst also giving my all to a newborn…
I thought long and hard about that today, because I’ll admit it, it’s tough! I am sleep deprived, I feel like a completely different person sometimes, and it’s hard work having to share your body, your heart, your mind and your attention. Each day I feel a combination of triumph, failure and anxiety wondering if I’m getting it right.
But then, there’s love – an overwhelming feeling of commitment, adoration, care and respect that I feel for Chester, Rose, and all my family. Deep love somehow finds room to give more than you ever thought you had to give. I treat Chester and Rose like they’re twins (if you’re a parent to twins/multiple, you are a hero to me!) Somehow everyone gets the attention and care they deserve and need and I believe that is reason why Rose has integrated so seamlessly into this furry family. She has entered a family of deep love.
So if you’re ever worried that your fur child may not get the attention and love they need when you have a baby, remember that there is an innate reserve within you of deep and true love that is ready to nurture everyone in your care. It takes more than everything you think you have, but when you find it, nobody gets left behind. | Posted on 29/May/2024 13:45:07
