Announcing to first born.

My husband and I have a 6 year old daughter. She is the light of our lives, with such a big heart. We love her to death. We have been trying to get pregnant and have suffered two miscarriages. We are now 7 weeks along (furthest we’ve made other than our first pregnancy!) and our daughter has always been straight forward she does not want a sibling.

And she’s not rude or “bratty” about it. She truly just feels her life is great and doesn’t need a sibling. Her father and I both know that will change. She’s so wonderful and loves to play that she will be the most amazing big sister.. we just have to get her there...

has anyone ever been in this boat?

I’m curious as to how we are going to tell her when it is time? Right now I am planning it to be a little celebration for her. Kind of like a big sister party but just me her and her dad... give her a big sister t shirt and take her out to dinner. We have a hibachi place nearby and she’s always wanted to go...

But I’m also asking for advice if this doesn’t go well. I don’t expect her to really understand but I also worry about her being upset.. and her behavior changing as the pregnancy progresses and then once the baby is here.... how do we adjust?
