Nervous

I was just curious if any of you are on your second pregnancy and your first child will not even be 2 by the time this baby will be born? I'm just curious how the child will react with the newborn around and how to share my time between the both of them since they both will need a lot of attention still and I don't want to feel like I'm pushing one away.. I want to spend as much time as possibly can with both of them. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I think all mom's worry about that. I'm 37+4 and I have a 10 month old. I'm really stressed about my daughter not even being a year old will react to the new baby. I'm just going to ret to give my oldest time while the baby is sleeping and trying to juggle when they eat might be tougher but it will all work out. Just know that things will be tough at first but being close in age will help them be closer as they grow up and they will have a playmate. It will all work out, have faith and good luck.

Ya I will not even be 21 when my second is born. My lil girl will only be 19 months old. My dad and mom are really the only ones being supportive to me. Everyone else seems to be acting the same way about.. but we are still young and have the energy to do it. I'm due nov.26th. Congratulations by the way. If your happy with where your life is going and being a mom that is what counts.. that's the way I look at it anyways.
