Big brother TJ
When I first told TJ that I had a baby in my tummy, he looked at me like I had lost it and then started laughing hysterically. It was completely insane to him that there could be a baby in the tummy! I did not explain any further but kept on mentioning it so he could get used to the idea.
Eventually he started noticing my growing tummy and so started announcing to people that mummy had a big tummy! We then started discussing whether it was a brother or sister, to which he insisted that it was a brother. He stated it very well that as a boy he should get a brother not a sister! I suppose it's a good thing that it turned out to be a boy, because big brother would have been disappointed.
Over the months, he started talking to the baby, and sometimes shouting at the baby to come out. Occasionally he asked if I couldn't open my tummy a little for him to peep and see the baby's hand or foot. He was so eager to meet his baby brother, and pointed out baby stuff in shops and asking if we could buy it for baby brother - if it were up to him I'd have a closet full of baby clothes and toys.
Now that the baby is here, TJ is proving to be a loving and protective brother and that makes me the happiest mum on earth, although I do worry about him feeding the poor baby all sorts of things....but that's another article altogether!

Number 2 is here!
Over a week ago, on 22 July, I delivered a beautiful baby boy! His name is Vuyo Karmel and he is an absolute angel!
He sleeps through the night and wakes up for feeds and nappy changes.
TJ is also excited about having a baby brother, and is still trying to understand why we cannot feed the baby spaghetti......as I always say, that's another article altogether!
