@nwmomma2, absolutely! When we went in for my sons check up I took my daughter because they share the same pediatrician. She asked how it was going and suggested that a simple hand on the shoulder is also helpful to the older child, encouraging words "mommy loves you" , "you're still my baby", "you're the best" would also help the older child cope with you being busy with the baby.

@sadiesue0718 I love this! I know my son is so excited to be a big brother and I've talked to him about being Mommy's helper. He's always kissing & talking to my belly, asking if he can hold & kiss baby, it's really very sweet. I just don't ever want him to feel that he's not loved so I will definately make sure to keep him included in taking care of baby. 😊 Thank you for sharing that with me.

Absolutely!!! I was so worried! But we included our toddler in everything. Made her “mommies little helper” asked her to get things for mommy, easy stuff like a book, then we’d read it. So she was very helpful after delivery when I couldn’t move around a bunch...

@sjo1 Thank you for that. I really needed a positive story. 😊

I had my second when my daughter was three! I was so worried but actually it turned out to be great like it just went hand and hand and everything worked out like it should have! They are SO close now that they're both older which is nice! It'll go good for you mama!!! ❤

Just had baby #3 and this is actually how I’m feeling!

@murphaayyyy We won't know gender until birth 😁

That is a totally normal feeling. But you will always have that special bond with your first boy no matter what. Having two kids is different, but a lot of fun. It is hard work though. Is he getting a brother or sister?
