@lucyyxoxo_, my thoughts exactly. 😊

@carterclaytonb, I figured MY time to sleep will be while he's in school. right now I use it to catch up on some shows lol you're right and it gives daddy time to spend with the new born and they can also take them to class to spend time with the older kid

That is smart! I might do that to. @carterclaytonb

@lucyyxoxo_, @anessafraga my three year old doesn't take naps so it's easy to spend the time with him when the LO is sleeping. And he really like to help me with things. I'm thinking of finding a mommy and me class for just me and him to go to occasionally.

Definitely! Spending time with him makes me so happy, I honestly would miss that more than I would miss an hour or two of sleep! @lucyyxoxo_

@anessafraga, we're going to sacrifice some sleep but it's worth it lol

I'm sure he is. our boys had a good number of years where our lives only revolved around them. we gave them our love and undivided attention. now they get to experience and share that with a sibling. old enough to help and understand mommy will love them no matter what. @carterclaytonb

I am scared of that happening with my son I don't want him to resent me either.. My oldest is only 1 he will be exactly a year and a half when the baby is born. Recently my cousin came to visit with her new born and all my son wanted to do is be around the baby. He got so excited when she would even move. So I am hoping he finds the same excitement when we bring his brother home. @lucyyxoxo_ I completely agree I would definitely rather be tired and be able to have one on one time with my oldest!

I think I'm just having "mom of two guilt" and my sons probably fine and happy. It's just different to get used to. @lucyyxoxo_

@anessafraga,

@anessafraga, I'm sure (or I'm hoping) that my three year old is getting enough attention. But I just feel guilty that I can't always give him my attention when he wants/needs it because I'm feeding or bathing the baby and what not. I try to get him involved. But I feel like that's not enough. I just hope he doesn't resent me or get mad and start acting out to get more attention. 😔

when I talk to others about it. they suggest I put them on the same napping schedule but I rather sacrifice being tired and spend that time with him while the baby is sleeping. he is so ready to be involved that it makes me excited. my son is almost 4 so I understand the attachment. I talk to him alot about how things will be when the bby comes. I feel I'll be able to manage.

I am going to be doing the same thing in July and I have been wondering the same thing! Its honestly making me so nervous.

I try to spend time with my 3 year old when my newbie is sleeping but I feel so guilty. Like I'm not giving my 3yo enough attention. He's been my one and only for so long. I was a single mom with him for 12 mo and then me and my now husband met and were together 8mo before he got deployed and then it was just me and little man for 9mo. So it's been just me and him for a lot of his life. I thought I was ready for it too but it's so much different when you're in it. @lucyyxoxo_

I'll be in the same boat in Sept. I keep going over and over how I can manage giving each their own time. I'm ready for it (:
