Most likely your immune system is no different and no more strong than before. A more likely explanation is that over time you have been exposed to more common respiratory viruses and their variants, and therefore have partial or complete immunity to them. Your first child probably caught many viral variants from day care and other kids, and you're now immune to many of them.
