my daughter has never been overnight without either me or her dad so when the baby comes I can only imagine she's going to miss us so much just to come home to us holding a baby like "who tf is that" "so this is why y'all left me" I really hope that she'll be able to adjust. I feel so guilty now for not waiting long enough for her to be able to understand what is going on. I hope we'll have enough attention for both babies and that she'll be satisfied and not jealous.

My boys are 22mths apart yours are going to be around the same age distance right? She will be just fine. Is someone staying at your house with her? What I did was have my dh with me for labor and delivery then someone brought my oldest to the hospital to meet his little bro then my dh went home with the oldest. My son needed him more then me ya know? Then the next day they came to visit us in the hospital then they went out to a bounce house haha. I would have rather my dh stay with him then with me. I didn’t need him as much as my oldest did. She will be just fine I know you’re nervous about it, as was I, but she will adjust great. She’s still very young!! Do t worry everything will be great!!
yes she'll be turning 2. and I'm not sure but more than likely she'll be staying with my parents and gma at their house. Last time they didn't allow kids (my daughters sister was 9 at the time) so he had to go back and forth which was hard for me since I knew nothing of babies and no one else visited. But yes I completely understand about the older kid needing the parent more. last time the time spent was for me to rest and have breaks (he'd be there from 8am-2pm). This time we're having a boy that's getting circumcised & he wants to be there more so for the baby and bonding time that he feels he missed out on when our daughter was born. & thank you I'm hoping she will do great since she's been so independent. hopefully we'll have an arrangement that's good for her by the time baby is here
@dankerson, yes everything will work out just fine. Try not to stress too much about it. I know easier said then done
I was worried about my oldest son too but he adores his little brother. Have whoever is staying with your daughter bring her to the hospital to visit and let her hold the baby. With yours or dads help of course.
