Has anyone ever felt like this?

Hey everyone,
I just found out I'm pregnant with my second baby. Some of you know I only have a few years left to have children so this is a huge blessing. I'm a stay at home mom and I love doing everything with my son, I'm just a little scared about this baby because although I'm so excited about it, I don't want my son to feel neglected. Maybe it's just the hormones talking, but I guess in a way I'm still scared. My husband doesn't think it's an issue. He says he'll be fine, and I'm sure he will. I just don't know about me. I don't want to feel like I'm replacing my son.

I've wondered the same thing, I too am on my 2nd pregnancy. What is the age difference between your son and the next one? It's hard to imagine that one can love all their kids the same, but I know it's obviously possible. I love my little girl to pieces and I'm excited (and nervous) because I know I'll have more love in me when the next one comes along. It's like God expands our 'love capacity', haha.

My son will be almost 2 and a half when our new one is born. I think it's because you get so used to loving one it's impossible to think about loving another one the same. I know I'll be able to but right now it's hard to think about. It feels like when I was pregnant the first time and I had no idea how much I'd love my son. When are you due? :]

I'm due end of November, my toddler is 19 months. I absolutely adore he, she's so cute and so sweet! Love is always something that grows. Some people feel love for their children instantly, it's like 'love at first sight'. That wasnt the case for me, but I was scared and had no experience with kids especially babies. Now that I have one child now, I'm really excited about having another and bonding with our son (or daughter) much more quickly. It's gonna be adventurous but fun!
