Finally, Nadia become a big sister. On the day Aidan was born, she came to the hospital and sat next to Mommy in her bed, she hold the baby (a bit hesitate, I think she was in shock how soft and fragile the baby, not like the ones she has been touching, the baby doll), and she took pictures. That's about it. She didn't come near at all after that. She just watched him being hold by her grandma and her daddy. But, good thing, she agreed to kiss his leg when she was going home. Ammar didn't let her kiss her because she got cold.
The next day, she got the flower, a big sister from Mommy Maria. And also, a goodie bag!!! Yay !! Thank you, Mommy Maria!! You are the best.
On the day that Aidan comes home, we picked her up at her school. She got all excited that there was a baby Aidan's sitting in the used to be empty car seat and she said :
"Mommy, Baby Aidan's here"
On the way home, she had a tear break, but she didn't cry, she tried to express her emotion but she couldn't so she just said"
Mommy... I ... I.... I..... then she got tears in her eyes... Gosh.. I almost cried, too. Never seen her like that. She must missed me so much and she couldn't express her feeling. Ammar and I were looking at each other in a surprise to see how much she was angry and sad and happy to see her mommy and still could hold herself to be a big girl.
The minutes we got home, she sat on the sofa, watching tv, she didn't want to get near the baby. Ammar tried to show the baby, she leaned away and said no. That's okay, Nadia.. we understand, you must be scared that we won't love you the way we were. We loved you so much the way we used to be, no change.
