So I have a little issue I guess you can say, our son is almost 7, so when the baby comes, he will just have turned 7. He's the only child and all his cousins are at least 4 years younger than him. We don't live close to family (4 hours is the closet which is my parents) my son does have a half brother who is one but he only sees his dad 3 times a year max. Cameron is involved with this pregnancy and seems excited but how do I deal with the feeling of him feeling left out or how when we go baby shopping it's all about The baby? I feel so bad sometimes that it makes me sick. Cameron has never expressed that it bothers him. He does spring sports and is very involved with after school programs like math club. I just don't want him to feel forgotten when his brother gets here, because that is what his real dad did. Advice please

My stepdaughter is 4 so I have the same fear but for now when we do stuff for the baby or she sees new baby stuff, we just remind her that he's coming into the world with nothing and that we're just getting ready for him. I imagine when we take them shopping that we'd let her pick out a single item for herself too but gotta see when that happens.
Just try balancing the time between them. I'm sure your son will understand that babies take up your time but as long as you include him, he shouldn't feel left out. Good luck!!
