Baby #2 coming. How will it be with a 2 year old??

Question

So my daughter is currently 1 year and 5 months but will turn two right before the new baby comes. Any advice on how to handle everything? I’m kind of nervous! My daughter is super attached to me and I don’t want her to hate her baby sibling. She does let me hold baby boys but not girls. And she’s very good with other kids. Ugh I think I’m just freaking out a little....

Anyways here’s my little cutie. She’s a princess but don’t let the crown fool you. She can be a big dragon sometimes 😂😂

We had #2 (boy) a d then it was our 1st (girl) 2nd birthday two weeks later. #2 is now about 4.5 months. At first she wasnt that interested and then he was a little fun. Now that hes playing and laughing....shes really been bad. My husband and I really split our time well with both of them, but she is constantly jealous. Hopefully its another phase...but we are planning another activity with just her and us. My advice, just go with it and try to have as much 1 on 1 with #1 as you can while baby is younger.

Answer

I'm pregnant with our second boy, they will be 2 years and 4 months apart. So I'll have to let you know how it actually ends up working out next month 😅 but during the pregnancy it's been actually pretty nice. He will rub my belly, lay his head on it, always try to feel his brother move, and point at it and say baby. He has been super clingy to me though more than usual, but I just suck it up and take it in since I know I'll miss it. The other day we were watching boss baby and he totally laughed at the part when the big brother tries getting rid of the baby 🤦‍♀️ so in my mind I'm thinking oh great lol. But I think it'll be better than what my mind is telling me.
