  Get your little one involved. Take her to appts n ultra sounds. Have her "help" when baby gets here. They just love that stuff

  I am the same way except mine is 5. She's excited to be a big sister but when the baby comes I'm scared she will be super jealous.

  They are prob going to be moments of jealousy. There is really no way to stop that. And its perfectly normal. My son was 2 1/2 when his sister was born. I was scared about the same stuff. But I made him a part as much as possible. And got him excited to be a big brother. He's never had any major issues at all. He loves his sister and sure they fight and argue from time to time. But watching them play together and seeing him be protective of her is the most amazing thing ever! Now #3 is on the way. He is excited to be big bro again, and my daughter 2 1/2 now is super excited for her baby. Sure I would love more one on one time with him. But I wouldn't trade their relationship for anything!

  I was the same exact way! I cried all the time because I didnt want to see my baby hurt or feel lefted out. So I took her shopping with me and let her pick everything out I take her to all my dr appt. She was even there when she found out she was having a lil sister. We talk and read stories to my belly she even picked her middle name just involve ur child with your pregnancy and she wont feel lefted out my daughter yells at my tummy and says sister come out! Lol its so cute<3

  This remind me of my sister's son he was not really happy. he thought the mom wont take care of him anymore but when the baby came he was so happy, he even want to feed the baby. Don't worry girl im sure ur older baby will b happy if u keep him/her involve in anythin like shoppin for the baby clothes or stuff like that.
  Good luck!

  Buy her a doll and a bath and get her to copy u when u are bathing, changing happy, etc... she will feel important. My SIS did that with her daughter and she even copied her breastfeeding!

  I meant to say "nappy" not "happy". I think u Americans call it a "Diaper".

  My oldest was 2 when my second was born. I was excited at first, and then spent the rest of my pregnancy feeling guilty. I tried to keep him up to date and interested by showing him pictures of the baby's development, and I let him help me with getting stuff ready, but the guilt never left. I worried that he would feel that he wasn't good enough and that's why I needed to have another baby. I had a scheduled c-section, and when I dropped my oldest off at my mom's I went home and cried all night-I mean, I sobbed because I felt so horrible. I felt like i'd betrayed him. But then my baby was born, and my oldest came to meet him and "hold" him and he was so proud to be a big brother. It was sad because suddenly my baby wasn't a baby anymore-he'd seemed so small the night before and suddenly he seemed huge compared to his brother-but we were a family right away, and within a few days all the guilt i'd felt was gone because life just went on. I'm feeling a bit of the same guilt this time, but much of that has to do with the fact that my youngest is so much more babyish than my oldest was at this age.
