We told our eldest yesterday

[TTC5]

Through my TWW my eldest DD (13 next month) kept dreaming I was pregnant

Hubby and I decided to tell her yesterday. The look on her face was amazing, she was tearing up and everything!! It is going to be special having a 13 year age gap between these two

She was clucking over me yesterday, following me around, making me drinks and when the little ones tried to jump on me she would shoo them away and ask if my belly is ok! Bless her!!

Oh 5 what a special little girl you have there I guess though at near 13 I should refer to her as a young lady! I'm sure her taking such sweet care of you is no doubt a reflection of her Mama taking such loving care of her

[TTC5]

Thanks Begonia She is always telling me how I did such a good job having her so young and giving everything up
For her. It's such a nice feeling to know your child is so
Proud of you. I couldn't imagine not having gone through having her she is a real blessing

TTC5, that made me tear up! that is so beautiful...I am so happy you also gave life to her at a time that it must be have been so difficult! Kudos to you and your sweet young lady!

How awesome!!!! Sounds like you have an amazing little girl!

Oh, what a sweetie! I bet she will be thrilled when that baby comes. When will you tell the other kids? I am not sue when to tell mine. I don't want to tell them before we are ready for the world to know, so I guess we will wait until at least 12 weeks.

My younger brother was born a few weeks before my 13th bday... (I was forced by my mother to care for him)... but I was very attached to him. I learned from him how to be a mom. I spoiled him. Because of reasons I couldn't do anything about my mother lost custody of him and I haven't seen/held/talked to him since he was 8yo but I still remember everything since the day he was born. Just realized how much I miss him.

There is always a strong bond between kids with that big of an age gap... since your young lady is hitting the age of maturity!
