A Heartfelt Letter to My Firstborn About Our Expanding Family
Hey Buddy,
As we get ready to welcome a new member to our family, I want to take a moment to talk to you about all the exciting changes ahead. I know you’re super curious about the little one on the way, and honestly, it makes your mom and me so happy to see your enthusiasm. Sure, it’s a little funny that you call the baby “our baby,” but I’m sure your future therapist will have fun sorting that one out!
We can’t wait to see the bond you’re going to share with your new brother. Watching you two grow up as playmates, teammates, and sometimes rivals is going to be amazing. Just like your mom and I did with our siblings, you’ll learn so much from having a brother around.
I want you to know that while things are going to change, our love for you will always remain the same. You will always be our firstborn, and nothing can change that. But yes, January will bring a little chaos into our lives!
There’s absolutely no reason to feel anxious. I know you’ve never had a baby around before, but you’re going to handle it like a champ! We’re counting on you to help out, too.
And don’t ever think for a second that you’ll get less love from us. I can’t predict how my heart will expand with two kids, but I know it will. Your brother won’t replace you; you’ll always hold a special place in our hearts.
Change may seem scary, but it’s also a chance for growth. You won’t be the baby anymore, but you’ll always be our little guy. You’ll discover what it means to love someone fiercely and protectively—just like we do for you.
No matter how busy things get, how tired we become, or how many toys and clothes you might have to share, remember that our love for you will never waver. You will always be at the center of our universe, and we’re all in this together. So, don’t worry—let me handle that!
Love always,
Daddy
