Just thought I'd start a thread for those of us who already have children, to talk about the impending birth of our new babies!
Are you worried about how your first born will react? Will they be jealous and turn into feral little monsters :p? Will they be helpful and want to help you SO much it drives you crazy? Will they adapt beautifully? Do you feel guilty about having another child because the child/children you already have will have to share you with their sister/brother? Do you feel sad because it will no longer be 'just the 3 of you (hubby, you and child)'? Are you thrilled to bits and can't want to see what life's like with the new baby?
All of the above are just a few things that have been going through my head leading up to the birth of this baby. What are your thoughts??
I think my daughter, who will be 4.5yrs old when this baby is born, will be jealous at first but she will be a fantastic help. I'm glad she's at an age where she can understand what's happening and will hopefully do everything I ask of her :yes: but not so much so that she has to grow up quickly. I still want her to be a kid, if that makes sense.
Having a c-section I'm obviously very worried that something will go wrong. Who will look after my babies?? I'm trying to push that right to the back of my mind though, cause everything will be fine! :thumbsup:
