Pregnant again?!

Question

Hi mamas! Our babies are officially 3!! I wanted to know if any other moms are having their second or even thirds soon! I’m due in November and so nervous about my son transitioning into an older brother. He officially starts preschool Thursday and I’m glad that he will have a full two months before the baby comes to get adjusted. 
Any tips or tricks of how to manage a routine with two? How do you divide your attention especially in the evenings? All advice is appreciated! Im so nervous but excited!

Answer

My little guy just turned 3 on Sunday, I gave birth to his brother in June of 2021, and I’m due in February with my third. I was really scared for the adjustment to 2 kids, it’s s been really fun though.  Before my second came, we talked a lot about the baby and got him a baby doll to play with. After the baby arrived, I tried to include him in as many caretaking things as I could (changing diapers, bath time, singing to the baby, retrieving a binky). It also helped to have some one on one time with my firstborn each day. Sometimes it was reading a book together while the baby was in a swing, or handing the baby to dad so I could do bedtime routine. 
Expect that it will be hard for your oldest and for you sometimes. Give yourself grace. You all will make the adjustment and it just becomes natural.
I have a really hard time accepting help from others but I learned that I NEEDED the help when I had more than one kid.
Of course, I’m nervous again to change the dynamic and add a third baby, but I know a little more of what to expect this time around. 
Congrats on the new baby! 💜

Answer

I wanted mine a little bit closer but it took 23 months because of my fertility issues. So I am also due in November and nervous about the change. I’m not at all nervous to have a baby again but I’m nervous about figuring out how to make it work with a toddler while still giving her enough attention as well!￼

Answer

Had my second on august 30! I usually read to my toddler at bedtime and let her nurse and sleep on me or read with us. As she’s gotten bigger if she’s awake sometimes I’ll put her on a play mat while I get him in pj and brush teeth and ready for bed. Sometimes I will get him ready for bed early based off her mood or what’s going on. It usually all workout every night when I just read how her mood is. Even if the worst case is her crying while I get him in bed is fine because I know she’s taken care of diaper. Fed, and maybe just tired or wanting attention that a few moments are okay. Hope you and your family are hanging in! :)

Answer

Mine turned 3 on august 12 and became a big sister on august 26! She’s been handling it pretty well - definitely turned up the drama and acting out a bit but just be prepared for it. Give lots of 1:1 times when you’re able to. I’ve taken her out on an trip to target just us and some park play date. Putting the baby down and making time to play with her.

Answer

My 3 year old is my youngest and since then I’ve had seven miscarriages since then… kinda gave hope tbh :(
