siblings?

How do your older children feel about having a new baby sibling? My 10 yr old son isn't very happy. But I'm praying that he changes his mind once baby is here. My 5 yr old daughter is happy though. Hoping it stays that way.

Im happy for you all. I hope my son starts coming around once I get bigger. Im already showing but maybe once he can feel the baby kick he'll start caring more. Hes very active in travel baseball and worried I wont be there. Thankfully im due in Dec so we wont have baseball then!

Both my kids 5 and 3 are super excited! They ask all the time how big the baby is and when I first found out my older one was constantly asking if what I was eating was healthy for the baby and what things I could and couldn't do to make sure I wasn't doing anything I wasn't supposed to be. She is like a mommy already :)

I have an 8-year-old step daughter and a 5-year-old step son. They are both excited, but they both want the baby to be their gender... We wont find out for another 5-8  weeks though! Hope neither gets too upset!

My 4 year old is excited but he knows it's not for a long time so he's not overly excited. If that makes sense...

My 3 1/2 year old son is very excited. He keeps saying he wants a sister though, so fingers crossed that we're having a girl...otherwise he might not be so excited. Lol

My oldest son who is 10 shows no interest or care that I'm pregnant. My 3 year old on the other hand is super excited, everything is about his sister, he makes sure she's not hungry, he gives her hugs and kisses and always want to lay with her. Did I mention she's not due to be here until August, lol

We have a six year old daughter as well. At first when she found out she was having a brother she wasn't very happy for a few days and now she's absolutely in love with him even tho he isn't here yet. She's very excited to become a big sister. I think your ten year old will come around once the baby is here
