When I had my second child, I was worried that the first would feel left out. Isn't that funny how we worry about potential reactions? So I bought my firstborn a gift to open for herself at the hospital when she met her new baby brother. I did the same thing for the two older kids when they came to visit my third baby, their new brother. By the time I had my fourth baby, I knew that the other kids would be getting enough treats from their grandparents at home while I labored at the hospital.
The reactions on these videos to the new siblings are priceless. Did your record your children meeting for the first time? I would love to see them.

When big sister Jessica meets her newborn sister for the first time, something adorable happened. Little Vanessa began to cry, but big sis sweetly assured her that she was fine. Big sisters are a gift from the Lord.
