I already have a 12 yr. old daughter, and a 2 yr. old son. Our baby girl is due anytime now and I'm nervous that I won't have enough energy to keep up with all 3 and make them equally happy along with my husband. I live for my babies and my husband, what could I do to not let any of them down??

My 12 yr. old is the perfect daughter. She helps sooo much. Did I mention, she's really my step-daughter and I love her so much. She's a straight A student and great in sports. She just won another basketball game today. I would be lost without her.

Hi, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Your 12 year old is going to be a great help to you. I have four children. The first two were born a year apart and that was work, but then I waited 8 years and had another baby. I really could tell the difference. I had the time to enjoy that baby and was able to give all of the children quality time. I then waited 8 more years and had another(all with the same father I might add) and I had so much help. The three older children were girls and they wanted to help with the baby and be with him all the time. I can honestly say that spacing your children is best for you and the babies. Relax and enjoy. I know you are going to be able to give everyone what they need, because you will have help. Even the two year old can fetch things for you. Good Luck!

First of all, the fact that you are worried about something like this shows something about your character. Good for you.
It's normal for you to get nervous about this type of stuff before the birth, even if it hasn't happened to you before. The circumstances may be different. Even though your daughter is only twelve she'll help out as much as she can I hope, like with the playing and making mess part, and I'm sure your husband, if he's a good man will too.
If you really are nervous there are always parenting classes, but I'm sure that you will become a great mother.
Either that or start a drug habit. Just kidding...xD Don't do that, hehe.

your 12yr old should be able to help you here and your husband will have to as well..take special time with each child when you can, 12yr old shopping and lunch, 2yr old to playground and pizza, walk the baby around the block and let your husband massage your feet...it will work out once you get over the tiredness...hang in there

I think you are so sweet to be concerned about this. Why don't you share your fears with your husband? The two of you can work through it together.

Don't worry each day has enough worry in it self. Take it one day at a time. I don't worry but I also put my trust in God. His yoke is easy and his burden is light becuase he carries mine.
