for mum's who have two or more kids and are expecting the next..

does it seem strange that your little one wont be the baby in the family anymore but will now become a big brother or big sister?

i cant seem to wrap my head around that lolly wont be the baby and instead she'll be a big sister, seems she didnt really get time to be the baby long at all.. :(

Yes it is bizarre. We were not going to have 3 children, so having our baby not being the baby is strange.
My 4 yo is worse though, she's growing up too fast, and I've really noticed her maturing in the last month or so.

It does seem strange though my youngest is over 2. He is still in the cot, wears nappies at nights, and doesn't talk much. So to think of him as a big bro will be different.
But I do know he will love it. He is always pointing to my belly and saying Baby!
My elder son isn't overly fussed. I don't think he was impressed when he lost his baby status when Av came along.

I'm more worried that my 'baby' will become the 'middle child'. He's way too cute to be a middle child!

I have to say though, I'm not stressing about getting him out of nappies, or off bottles/dummy, like I did with Lucy, who was 2yrs 8 months when Cooper was born. I've certainly learnt that there is no point toilet training him until he's ready!!

Cooper will only be 22 months old when Wippy arrives, so I'm just going to let him be a baby for as long as he needs to be... Although he will move into a big boy bed once we know Wippy's sex.

i hae been having this to, my baby will be 2 1/2 when this little buba arrives, i look at him and think 'gee your still a baby yourself' :( he will love it though, he loves babies, he takes his sisters and plays with them, he even tried to give my tummy the baby's dummy yesterday, so, so cute.
