My little girl was due January 19, I think? I would tell people "sometime in January." :) It does upset people, though, but not as much as the constant questions towards the end of the pregnancy!<br /><br />Good luck with two kids. It's an adventure, that's for sure! I hope things are smooth and that you have a peaceful birth and baby moon.crapheadhttp://craphed.blogsome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487885045459701116.post-18648952588148908992010-01-15T14:08:30.331+01:002010-01-15T14:08:30.331+01:00Best wishes with the birth and introducing your ne...Best wishes with the birth and introducing your new baby into your little family, I look forward to hearing how it goes.Christie - Childhood 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/03273633554293833746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487885045459701116.post-48318524762927596762010-01-15T02:46:04.254+01:002010-01-15T02:46:04.254+01:00Congrats on baby number two! Siblings Without Riva...Congrats on baby number two! Siblings Without Rivalry is a great book and really helped me go from one to two (I now have three girls). One small thing I did that was special for my oldest when I was pregnant with number two that I repeated when I was pregnant with my third is buying white onesies for my kids to decorate with fabric markers. This was a gift for their baby sibling, and I resisted the urge to make the designs more eye-appealing and let them unleash their creativity. I remember my oldest made a onesie for her baby sister that looked like she'd bee shot. There was big red blob on the back, but her baby sister wore it with pride, and it made her feel special.<br /><br />Once the baby arrived I always tried to blame things on myself, not the baby. For instance, if an older child wanted me to pick them up when I was holding the baby, I might say, "Oh, I really want to, but Mommy has isn't an octopus and doesn't have enough arms to do that." I also bought my girls a sling to carry their baby dolls around.<br /><br />Just a few tips... Good luck, and God bless!Kate Wickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275574075771328329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487885045459701116.post-73463173206812364572010-01-15T00:17:02.470+01:002010-01-15T00:17:02.470+01:00No baby yet!

It's absolutely the parent's job to give their kids the tools to negotiate sibling relationships; we're not supposed to polarize them, nor are we supposed to force them together.<br /><br />Good luck!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920104559343925583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487885045459701116.post-50673349291185357132010-01-14T06:34:47.524+01:002010-01-14T06:34:47.524+01:00Best wishes on your upcoming birth!

That still feels weird for me to say.<br /><br />My girls are 2.5yrs apart, and they are best friends right now. They hug and kiss each other, say I love you several times a day to each other. It's very sweet, and I love it.<br />They also fight hard, but always make up a minute or two later.<br /><br />It will work out, and you'll enjoy watching their relationship blossom :)Darcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124410098799138873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487885045459701116.post-54690438419142322222010-01-14T06:23:56.373+01:002010-01-14T06:23:56.373+01:00Happy Due Date!!!!

I thought she'd be very jealous because the two of us were so attached. I was surprised by how naturally loving she was towards her and what good friends they are now 2 1/2 years later.Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859568015767404451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487885045459701116.post-69545028781311729422010-01-13T00:55:31.403+01:002010-01-13T00:55:31.403+01:00Definitely sending warm wishes your way!

I like the idea that childhood friends isn't the goal but solid adult relationships. I guess my parents must have done a good job, because I couldn't really stand my brother growing up (just way too different from each other), but now we get along fine.<br /><br />Agreed about due dates. I hated how everyone treated it as some sort of expiration date. One week "late" would still be right on time!
