yes!! exactly same here with my dd. worrying about everything so am going to do lots to prep her when the time is right, makes me feel better!
we will move her into her big room a long time before baby comes, talk about 'her' new brother/sister so she feels involved and get her to talk to the bump. i have also thought of getting her to choose bits for the baby and giving her a present from baby when s/he arrives. oh and also I read not to be holding baby when dd sees baby for first time and giving dd your undivided attention for 5 mins not just talking about baby. I' m sure it'll all be fine and of course we are giving them a little companion they will have for life but doesn't stop us worrying does it!!
Yup!! Me too!! Logan is such a mummy's boy - I work so he is fine at nursery but when we are at home he is attached to me all day! And he requires alot of attention - although is getting better.
Like minieggs - I am jsut going to make sure he is really involved and I also heard the thing about not holding the baby when they first meet them.
I don't even remember any negative feelings towards my sister when she was born - i was told i defo had some lol but I only remember the nice things!
