Answer 1

If you help the 17 month old be more independent and feel more like a big kid she or he can make things a lot easier when baby #2 gets here. But try to rest when you can  

Answer 2

The same way your prepared for your first one. Mother nature takes over too.

Answer 3

I'm 32 weeks and am now starting to think about putting my hospital bag together. I'm popping out and buying some maternity pads some extra pants, new nightie ideal for breastfeeding, deodorants, soaps etc and just slowly putting them together in the bag.

I'm also going to start washing all newborn and 0-3 clothes I have for my son so that I know they are clean, fresh and have been washed in non-bio powder.

Everything will fall into place for you, and you'll find that extra energy from somewhere I am sure. Good luck :)

Hope you don't mind if I add you as a contact, we have boys coming near enough the same time so be nice to get to know more new moms as I know no-one who is pregnant outside the net :)

Answer 4

Wow Congrats. When your 2nd comes, it will be overwhelming, but you'll find a way to cope. Congrats.

Answer 5

The main thing right now is to try and prepare your oldest for the arrival of the new baby. If you don't it will be that much harder when the baby comes home. Try and make sure you have everything you need to bring baby home. Last try and get as much rest as you can i know its hard i am 35wks pg with my third but rest is important. Then just relax and enjoy your last few weeks with your oldest. Trust me having two is really not that hard! It was so much fun for me.
