Older children and the new baby news?

[Deliciae1983]

Anyone have older children and are expecting another? I'm on my third pregnancy and my other two are both boys 9 and 5 almost 6. My oldest doesn't seem to interested in me being pregnant but my youngest is happy and all about it. Saying mommy how is my baby sister Elsa today. Since he thinks its a girl and wants to name it after frozen..lol. This baby will be their half sibling as well which neither of them seem to care or mention at the moment. Thoughts/input?

my 2 boys 7 and 6 have been nagging me for another sister since my 2 and a half yr old girl was 4 months old I've been telling them no more for mummy I've got enough.  lol surprise pregnant with the 4th there going to be over the moon when I do tell them I'm pregnant but will be very disappointed if we have a boy they have there hearts set on only sisters. I've asked them with my last pregnancy what happens if they get another brother they said swap it for a sister... I guess I hope for them I'm having another girl I really don't want to trade this one in ;-) but boys are so much easier

I have three, two step children that are a boy 7 and a girl 5, the girl is also all about frozen names but that's about as far as the excitement goes the boy isn't interested, I also have a 4yr old boy who doesn't really understand it yet.

Mine are much older. 18 and 14. Yikes! Huge time span between my last and this one.

Lol yes my boys don't want anything to do with diapers. I don't blame them lol. Each child is different it sounds like your doing the best you can. With your 9 year old he's older and  to boys babies aren't cool. It's ok though he will probably come around when the baby is born.  Just continue doing what your doing and you will be good!

My son will by 8 when baby comes. This will be a half sibling for him. Also, his father has a child on the way about the same time. He is very excited about both. Already wants to help get things ready and talking about once the baby is here. Swears he won't change any diapers but says he will throw them away for me! Lol

[Deliciae1983]

I'm definitely involving them. They have seen the ultrasound pictures and we talk about names with them etc. I've mentioned them helping out when the baby comes and my youngest said he wants a sister so he can help paint her fingers and toes, he loves nail polish. But he said he could change the diapers because it was yucky..lol my older son doesnt really talk much about it as he tends to keep to himself, he has some development and intellectual delays. Thanks

I have 2 boys also, my oldest turns 7 in dec and my youngest is 51/2 and will be 6 when baby number 3 is due. They are both excited about mommy having a new baby but kind of worried. I try to include them in everything. Show them how big baby is and what the baby looks like. I show them my ultra sound pics all the time. Ask them what they think it is and I told them if There right I'll buy them a small gift or something. Just include your boys, remind them you love them and don't disclude them because all the attention is on the new baby you don't want them to feel bad or left out. That's just what I try to do and I also talk about when they were in my tummy how they would kick me and etc. It's a family thing so involve them.
