All my kids were born close together, but the best advise I can give you is to really make BOTH of you kids feel involved. Take them to the doctor appointment when you hear the first heartbeat, the U/S....anything to make them feel a part of the adventure. Let them help pick names and such. Just as importantly though......spend a lot of together time alone with each of them so they don't feel left out for the babies.
Good luck and God bless! ↑ |
| My friend's first child was 8 when she had her second. She gets him involved and even had chores for him to do, for example he gets a quarter for getting her a diaper and if she has to run to the washroom he gets $2.00 for babysitting. She doesn't leave him out of anything and he would talk to the baby all the time. I think if you include him in everything then he will come around. ↑ |
| Hi Boni My name is Susan I have a 10 year old son and 5 month old boy-girl twins. My son is a Mommy's boy and I thought it was going to be very hard for him when I found out I was pregnant. I am sooooo proud of him, He loves the babies so much and is so good with them. He is a big help with anything I need. I came up with the name Jenna Raelynn for the girl and I told him that he could help name the boy. So the name that we gave baby boy is Jayden Daniel. He tells everyone that he got to name one of the twins. He thinks that it is just great being a big brother. I think that it will blow over. and you will still have your baby boy. I know I still do. I would just try to include him in as much as you can from the things you buy for the babies to the special names that you give to them.I hope that I have been a help. ↑ |
