St Louis Fresh 48 | Mercy Hospital | Welcome to the World Ivy

It’s a completely different dynamic when you bring a second (or third or fourth) child into the family. Suddenly, your heart has doubled, but so has your worry. You worry that your first isn’t getting the attention she needs or that your newest isn’t being stared at long enough. You wonder how you’re going to infuse all the love that is needed for each of these little humans. Then, you realize, they have each other. There is no bond like a sibling bond. They love each other in a way you can’t. Suddenly, that worry you had is not only lifted, but also comforted by the babies, themselves. They will take care of each other, they will love each other and they will teach you that you don’t have to do it all yourself - you are all in this together as a family.

Welcome to the World Ivy, Harley has been waiting so patiently for you.
