With my second child being born in december, we are trying to help Dominik understand that he will be a big brother. He is only 17 months but i dont want him to feel he is being replaced, My boyfriend rubs my tummy and says "is that the baby?" haha and now when Dominik is cuddling wih me he rubs my tummy, I dont think that he understands but maybe if we keep telling him there will be a new baby coming it may make it easier for him. Someone has suggested that later in the pregnancy to buy a doll and teach Dominik to hold it and stuff as if it where a real baby. Im just wondering if any one else has any suggestions on how to keep Dominiik from feeling left out !

I don't think he's ever really going to get that you have another person inside of you. As for him feeling left out... Just be sure that he gets enough attention... Say, when you are working with the newborn, have the dad play with Dominik, and vice versa. Then frequently set aside days with just you and him or him and his dad when you find the time.

you'd be surprised what babies can understand. if you tell your son that there's a baby in your tummy, he may ask how he got in there and it's always great to ask kids how they think the baby got in there (unless they somehow know the real way lol). answers like "did you eat it?" never get old.

ah, so you're going into your second trimester tomorrow. well grats. i'm about 6 weeks ahead of you and have another gender/innard scan on the 2nd. that way we can confirm it is a girl and exchange if necessary lol. i have a myspace, but i'm so lazy, i never update it *sigh* otherwise i'd have pics up. oh wait! my husband has a blog. let's see it's edaddy.wordpress.com. that way you can see our roller coaster ride thus far and our scans.
