Hey ladies, needing some feedback and/or advice. So each year my stepdaughter comes down for the summer and although i work full time we always found things to do when i was off. Well this summer as always she is coming down, however things will be a little different as there will be a newborn baby in the picture. With me being a first time mom, im not sure what to expect when it comes down to how it will be those first few weeks / months.
Well my munchkin (stepdaughter) just called me and said she had been crying I asked her why and at first she didn't wanna tell me cause she thought it would make me cry or hurt my feelings. Well she is scared to come down in fear that she will be overlooked because of the baby.
Me im actually excited for her to meet her new sibling, and I think we could find ways to have her help out. But i dont want her to feel like she is just extra help and not there for summer break.
Anywho, what are some good ways or things i can do so that she doesn't feel left out. We are in the process of buying anew house so when she comes down I told her since last summer that we would paint her room together....
Ideas ladies please

thanks! Part of me is a little scared that she may feel left out because i wont realize how overwhelming it will be. but yes, i thought about that as well. having a girls day where daddy watches the baby for a few hours... @theemmariefactor
You can still take her out and do things! Take her to get ice cream, and to the park. Bring baby along! Maybe you can have hubby watch the baby and take her to get a pedicure and go shopping for a couple hours. You'll both be just fine. Just the fact that you're so concerned about her feeling left out shows you most definitely will not leave her out :)
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
So over this feeling!
Ever since I've had ds, OH and I have fought my mother on not wanting to give ds a dummy just cause we don't like them and find he self soothes. For the past three times my mother has had him, she has gone against our rule and given him a dummy and of course I spoke to her about it (that's all my knowledge on how many times she's done it). On Sunday we celebrated my stepfathers birthday and due to OH working I had to do it alone which isn't the thing that bothered me. The...
I posted the day before yesterday about my friend.. & well....... her fiancé came over, AND she came alone 😐 we eat sit around and after awhile my husband takes him to the back & the next thing I know he’s coming in the house with a weird look on his face, asking her if there was something he should know, I instantly gets up just in case someone turns into a maniac....... well long story short he cried & told her how disloyal she is & how disappointed he was.. she’s crying asking me why would I ...
33 weeks 4 days today !! Had my appointment today for biophysical profile, and growth scan. At 28 weeks, she was in the 31 percentile, weighing 2 pounds and 1 ounce. Now she is in the 17th percentile, weighing 3 pounds and 1 ounce. I don't understand what I'm doing so wrong. 😢 my doctor will make me deliver if it drops to 10 or less, as she would be better out than in. Im 33 weeks 4 days, but my uterus is only measuring 31 weeks. Her heart rate was 132 today, her reflexes were great, she's a m...
You can get her a gift from the baby... That usually helps them warm up to the idea of being a big brother/sister.
