I am due in 3 weeks or so with my second child and DS is about 2.5 yrs old. Lately I've been feeling sad about the fact that it won't just be the 2 of us anymore. This pregnancy was totally planned, I'm thrilled to be having a baby and for DS to have a sibling. I just feel sad for the time I won't be able to be spending with him, for all the things that will have to change and the fact that he's not a baby anymore. Anybody else feel this way?

I totally felt that way w/ DD #1. And for me it went away the minute DD #2 was here. Now they're the best of playmates

I know the feeling though, and once the baby got here for me it went away. Now I'm having baby #3

Yes. I mostly feel this way when I am putting him to bed. Watching him sleep makes me feel so loving towards him. I mean I do during the day too but he is a challenging boy at times!

I was feeling so nostalgic one night that I went downstairs and wrote him a letter. I think I want to have a collection of letters to give to him when he is a lot older. These moments pass so fast and I want him to know how I felt a different ages.

Not being able to give him undivided attention is going to be hard at first. But we'll all adjust.

I am only six weeks and I feel this way. It actually makes me tear up I teared up reading your post although I am crying at everything I cried putting Ds to bed tonight

Ds is the baby oof my whole faimly even though my nephew is a few weeks older he is still the baby and I am worried about that he is used to undivided attention from his Mama and greatgrandma mostly her they have a very special bond and I hope that that does not change.

Sorry I had nothing to make you feel better I just wanted you to know you are not alone in your feelings

I teared up too! Dang these pregnancy hormones!

I've been thinking about this too, and while I am *thrilled* for this lo, I will miss the special moments my ds and I have. He's just so sweet, I really hope having a sibling doesn't change that.

I know that everything will all work itself out, but I can't help but to think about it. Not necessarily worry, but think.
