Haven't told the kids yet but I feel they sense it. 5yr looked at me and said: "Your stomach fat. You gotta baby in there!" and laughed. Lol I didn't know what to say. Then I ate crackers and he said: "Now you eating crackers and that's gonna cut the baby.".. Wth? Haha
That's one thing about a big family. It's one big mess, at my house! But that's just my own fault for not making them do it. In that way, they are definitely spoiled.
@mz.foy14 You're lucky! With this baby, think of all the help you're gonna get with all your bigger kids! Well, maybe that's pushing it... Hahaha
@ceruleansworn Awww good that all worked out. I'm hoping once the baby does get here they all are happy about it and enjoy.
That's so funny and cute. Well see, then, he doesn't want the baby to get hurt! He loves the baby:) I was so worried that my daughter would feel replaced by her little brother. I was so guilty, in the hospital, when she came to see him, that I gave her my special request bagel, even though I was so hungry that ended up eating hospital pancakes. Guess what? Now they are practically *best friends*. And when the youngest was born, they loved her, too. I feel sorry for my kids friends, who are the only child. They always want to come play at our house, because they get so bored and lonely. It's the best feeling, ever, when I watch my kids laugh and play together. My oldest is 5 years older than her little sister, and she loves to teach her things and make crafts with her. She says she likes having a little sister, too, because she gets to still act like a little kid, sometimes, when she plays with her. I just think that as long as you have love in your house, your kids are going to accept each other as family. They might fight, but as long as you don't make favorites, they'll love each other and be so fortunate to have each other. My 3 kids still share a room. They don't want to split up! I was so worried about the same thing... But as you see, I worried for nothing! :)
@mz.foy14, yea i hope so too plus i dont want them too feel like their being replaced, an i think theyll love it her too once shes here
@sixplusones that will definitely be hard. Mine said they would love another one but now that I'm actually pregnant not sure if they will truly feel that way or if it was just talk.. Hopefully your kids end up being happy and excited instead.
@mz.foy14, yea im scared they may feel some typa way although i know the baby is indeed coming im still scared to tell them an im have a girl an my two oldest are boys they dont get along with their sisters an even before i got pregnant i said hey u guys want another baby an they jus looked at me like blank is crazy
Lol @sixplusones We decided to tell them tonight since it was made obvious.. Idk how they really taking it since my two oldest hold things in. I can tell they half happy and half not.
@mz.foy14, I haven't told my lil ones yet either ima wait till im bigger an they notice me gettin a big belly too tell them lol or i may jus lie an say im not even when im extra big an they ask, then jus walk in with the baby 😂🤦🏼♀️🤷🏽♀️🙄i dont know how to tell them ... im confused 🤷🏽♀️
