Nervous about having a second baby

Hey ladies. Im 38weeks with my 2nd little boy. Im having a c section next friday. My 1st son will be 3 next month. He knows Mama is having a baby, but he has been my baby for the last 3 years and Im nervous about what to expect once this lil guy is here. Not that I could love one m ore than the other but I think its a normal concern for a second time mommy. Any thoughts?

Ah yes, very normal! Don't worry to much, there is pleanty for big brother to be involved with. Let him help with the baby once he's here. Also, if he get jealous (very normal) let him know all the stuff he can do that the baby can't. They seem to get a kick out it. But let him help with stuff, like getting the baby dressed, or handing mommy a diaper to helping with bath time. Good luck and don't worry too much. He will adjust to having a little brother easier than you think.
