Moms that are TTC-ing #2 now, soon, still thinking?

How is your child around you when you are holding another baby. Bella FLIPS out, like FLIPS out (totally not her demeanor and the first time was actually startling)

I know in a year or two things will be different...but she is pretty dramatic.

Ummmm yeah, she's not a fan at all. Oh well she'll get over it.

My DD only saw me holding a baby once - and that was last week.
I wasn't sure how she was going to react.
After a little while, she kept leaving the room and coming back getting in the baby's face and started saying




"Buh BYE!!'
Over and over

Ok, not TTC'ing #2, but when I was 8 months pregnant, we went to my brothers house to see my new baby niece. She was a preemie (her and Lauren should have been born about same time) and so tiny. I finally got a chance to sit down and hold my itty bitty niece, and when I did, Andrew hopped on the couch next to me (he was 1 month shy of being 2) and kicked me hard! I guess he didn't like seeing me with another baby!

I am not TTC #2 yet but when my SIL came to the hospital with my 2 yr old nieces and was holding Hailey-they were not pleased at all. A friend of ours came in and was holding Hailey and my niece was asking her to pick her up (meanwhile she never met our friend before!) I think they were mad at me for having a baby too b/c normally they are mushy but didn't want to hug or kiss me.

DH actually asked Bella if she wanted a little brother or sister (much to my )

she said NO

Re: Moms that are TTC-ing #2 now, soon, still thinking?

Ella has seen me hold my niece, and hasn't really reacted in any way. We'll see how she feels about a brother or sister...

Not TTC'ing, but Joseph was fine when I held other babies. It was when I brought Maddie home & he us to give her back that was the issue. It only to 2 weeks to forget there was life before her.

Oh you are soooooooooooo having a baby in like 9 months

Re: Moms that are TTC-ing #2 now, soon, still thinking?

Not TTC #2 just yet but I just held my new baby nephew for the first time today and Aly started crying and tugging on my legs

Re: Moms that are TTC-ing #2 now, soon, still thinking?

DS doesn't seem bothered by it, but he's seen me hold other babies all along. My DH's aunt and uncle had a baby 2 days before us and my best friend had a baby 3 weeks after me. I also have quite a few friends with babies all around Luca's age.

Re: Moms that are TTC-ing #2 now, soon, still thinking?

I am 27 weeks preggo with #2 and DD doesn't get upset when I hold babies. She is actually very over protective of my belly. If someone touches my belly she gets mad. When we ask her where her baby sister is she lifts my shirt and kisses my belly. SHe gives her goodnight kisses.
