No it didn't. The last three years were some of the most difficult years of my life. They were also some of my most rewarding years, seeing Jae grow from a little pea to a running jumping kid. I'm glad we passed the stage when Jae needs constant milk feeding and attention. She's a big girl now, able to poo and pee in the toilet without much fuss.
In another 3 months or so, we'll be expecting Number 2. It'll be all hell break loose once again. It'll be easier but not easy for another 3 years. I hope there's a way to fast forward but then again, we would have missed the precious 3 years of watching Number 2 grow up.
Then there is always the problem of Jae adjusting to her new role as the big sista and come to terms to having less attention from daddy and mummy.
To me, Jae will always be the special one. The one who changed my life for the better. The one who truly given me a purpose. Right now, I can only hope Jae learns to share her toys in time.
