I Was 7 weeks when i told my girls I have two girls 13 & 14 yrs. My oldest was OK with it but I think it is cause she's sick of her sister.... And my youngest when I told her she was in a uproar she said she was not dealing with the baby or me an she was moving out.....18 weeks tomorrow and  she's starting to come around but I think it is cause she likes to eat an I'm always eating so she is using me for now.  Lol..,....Good luck

I also have a 2&3 yr ild. My 3 yr old is really a granny boy so he doesnt botherme as much. Bt my 2yr old she is such a spoiled bby. She has to sleep wit me She wakes up in the middle of the night for no reason at all. She follows my every move. She crys frm the time she wakes up till nap time then crys for bed time. Its so overwhelming.Maybe its because she's the only girl plus the baby and now i have 10wks left wit another girl she feels like she's not gonna b loved anymore..

Im right there with you mama, I have 2 boys as well but ages 7yr and 14 mo, my 14 mo old didnt want anything to do with me at the beginning of the pregnancy and now im 34+5 and he wont leave me alone, before it was screaming and yelling specially since daddy works and now I cant get a sec alone. He is under my feet 24/7 I swear he is going to make me fall. Im having boy #3 sometime in the next month and I think he is starting to sense the change and jealousy is starting to take a roll. Luckily my 7yr old is more of a help but he just moved in with me and my fiance and is used to being spoiled and and only child thanks to his dad and his mom.. lol
But he has a little jealousy issues as well but easier to deal with. Its amazing how kids (np matter what age) can sense and how there emotions come out.

My son he is 1 year old when i first found out i was pregnant he was acting up and crying & crying he would always go with daddy not with me. I myself would get frustrated and get mad at my husband because of my son. Now that i'm almost due he goes with me and no more crying or acting up. So i'm really proud of my son he knows he's not the baby no more he going to be a big brother for his baby sister :) :)

Yep, my 3 year old does the same thing, except fair warning the farther along you get the worse it gets. Im now 35 weeks and my daughter has been potty trained over a year and lately has pooped in her dresser drawers, wets herself, screams and yells , and always says she wants me, doesnt want her daddy. The newest addition is also asking to be held and rocked and asking for a bottle. Her pediatrician said its normal that they can sense it and sometimes have a hard time adjusting to not being the "baby" anymore. Hopefully your son is alot more mellow then my willow is, because there are some days I feel like im going to go crazy.
