When did you tell your older child that you were pregnant?
Well, in most cases I'm sure it wasn't in those words! :-)
DS is two and I'm due with #2 in January. I think it is much to early to talk to him about having another baby, because I know he has no concept of time (or what it means to have another baby in the house!). How far along were you before you started discussing "baby brother or sister" with your older child? Did you talk about your pregnancy to your DH/friends/family in front of your older child before discussing things with your child?
Before I knew I was pregnant DS was talking about babies and we told him that before he was born he grew in my tummy. Now he likes to lift up my shirt, say "Baby!" and kiss my tummy--so cute! But I know he wouldn't understand if I told him there actually IS a baby in there now...
Thanks for your input!
