Megan Ward wishes she had given her son a sibling sooner

General Hospital’s Megan Ward feels blessed as a mother that her son Oliver, 6, and daughter Audrey, 22 months, have a wonderful brother/sister relationship.  So much in fact, that she feels guilty for not giving him a sibling sooner.

It’s more than I could have imagined. When we told him that we were expecting a sibling, I was a little nervous because he had really been the precious only child who had all of our attention.

I had his hand on my belly because I was starting to show. It was time to tell him. I said, ‘You know what’s in there?’ He just looked at me and was kind of confused. I think he had an idea but didn’t feel confident about expressing it. I said, ‘We’re going to have a baby, and you’re going to have a brother or sister.’ He said, ‘You mean I’ll have someone to play with?’

I completely burst into tears. The sheer joy that he wanted a sibling … and the complete guilt that I took so long to give him one!

The 38-year-old actress also admitted that she is trying to be more and more like her mother when it comes to her kids.

No matter how hard I deny it, I still want to be my mother. When it came to birthdays, she used to make everything, party favors and all. Now, I can’t do everything, but I’ll put on a theme party, and I’ll make the cake. I don’t make a cake all year long, but at birthday time, I make gigantic theme cakes, like volcanoes spewing with dry ice!

Megan is married to Michael Shore.
