But almost immediately, my thoughts turned to our daughter, just a year and a half old.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"weverydaystories.com_responsive_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"350\" data-end=\"675\">I knew older children can feel jealous of younger siblings. I worried she might feel replaced, forgotten, unnecessary. Every day, I talked to her. I stroked her hair and explained that a little brother was growing in mommy\u2019s belly\u2014someone she would love and protect. She seemed to understand. Or at least, she pretended to.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"737\">Who truly knows the thoughts of a one-and-a-half-year-old?<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"766\">The First Meeting<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"955\">After the birth, something happened I will never forget. I lay in the hospital room, holding the newborn, when my husband walked in with our daughter so she could meet her baby brother.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1718056\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1195\">She stopped by the bed and stared at the tiny bundle wrapped in a blue blanket. Her gaze lingered. She seemed to be thinking, searching for the right words, or simply trying to understand why this small, wrinkly creature was in my arms.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"weverydaystories.com_responsive_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1365\">She looked at me. Then at the baby. Scrunched her nose. Puffed out her cheeks. Furrowed her brows. And suddenly, she spoke a sentence that left us completely stunned.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1398\">A Surprising Reaction<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1573\">\u201cMommy\u2026 why did you do this? I thought you were going to give me a big brother. But he\u2019s small! My dolls are bigger than him. Take him back. I want a big one. Like Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1718056\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1788\">My husband turned pale, then red, before coughing into his hand to hide his laughter. I bit my lip to keep from bursting out laughing. Even the nurse pressed her face to the wall to avoid collapsing in laughter.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1824\">Accepting the Little One<\/h2>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"weverydaystories.com_responsive_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"1981\">After a few minutes, our daughter, pretending to be a serious grown woman, stepped closer. She touched the blanket, looked at her brother, and whispered:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1718056\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1983\" data-end=\"2108\">\u201cWell\u2026 okay. He can live with us\u2026 for a little bit. Then you\u2019ll bring me a big one. A good one. And this one \u2014 I\u2019ll break.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2110\" data-end=\"2204\">Within an hour, she refused to let anyone near him\u2014not even my husband. She declared firmly:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2276\">\u201cThis is my little one. I will raise him myself. So he becomes big.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2283\" data-end=\"2307\">A Big Sister\u2019s Love<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2309\" data-end=\"2556\">That day, I realized how quickly a young child can go from doubt to devotion. Despite her initial shock and demands, she accepted her role. And in that hospital room, I saw the beginning of a bond that would grow stronger with every passing day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A New Arrival and a Little Girl\u2019s Worries When I found out we were having a boy, pure joy washed over me.
