I have a very DIVA little princess.
She is 1yr & 4mo. Old. Do you think she knows that she's having
A baby sister or bro.? I kinda feel bad bccuz she is our spoiled princess aand we adore her. When the next bby comes she might feel like the newbie is getting all the attention. I don't want her to feel like we replaced her. But does she kno what's goin on at 16months. I cried when we found out I was prego for th 2nd time. I wanted to wait until she was 5. I'm 4months along. Shell be 1yr and 10months. When bby no.2 gets here. She gets cranky and cries more. Is this cuz of the bby in my tummy. I'm just wondering... =((

    Involve her in things like getting a diaper for you or putting a bottle in the sink for you etc......the more involved she feels the more she will see how cool it is to be a big sister and to have a baby in the house.......good luck!

    I feel like that. My son just made 2 and I'm due June 8. I keep him involved with my pregnancy as much as possible. I take him so he can see the baby whenever I get a ultrasound, I let him pick out things for the baby when shopping, etc. He even calls her monkey. I don't want him to feel left out. When she is born I'm going to continue to keep him involved by helping change diapers, feeding her or picking out her clothes.

    @kaitlynvandever how old was/is yur daughter? I get what yu mean...I get tired and have these headaches...plus I throw up a lot...(not what happened w/my first pregnacy) and she looks up to me a lot... she mimics the noises I make when I throw up though...haha. but I try other things to spend more time w/ her. She IS a lttle diva...haha and she likes getting her nails done. So that's how we spend time together. She's not into dolls. She has a small vanity and she like spending time in front of the mirrior while I brush her hair and stuff like that...and she's only 16 months. She like picking at my belly button and gives my small tummy kisses. But hoopefully she knows ill always love her. Thanks tho.

    We bought a few books for our two yr old to help us explain it to her. One is called I'm a big sister and the the other is called baby on the way(I think). That one help more because it had a drawing of the baby in the mommies tummy. It took a few times reading those and just casually talking about it to her for it to sink in. She really gets it now seeing my big belly and feeling her little brother kick around. She's been much more clingy and needy w/me in the lst few months. Not sure if that's because of baby or not though. W/yours being so young a visual aid might help more than you explaining verbally. Good luck and i'm sure everything w/work out just fine. :-)

    I think it might be easier with her being so young. My daughter will be 5 when #2 arrives and she's spent 5 yrs being the only grandchild on both sides. She seems excited now, but I think she'll be jealous once the baby gets here.

    I have seven year old twins, and a four year old, my twins adjusted really well to their little brother. And it was like he had always been there. My daughter has been begging for a sister for about a year so I really hope she gets one. She even does chores trying to bribe us to adopt her a sister. She doesn't know yet but today she said "wait. Do you think you can really handle four kids?" Lol. Now my four year old I think might have a problem with because he is def the baby of the family:(
