It could be hard but you will be blessed with a sibling for your son and someone who will love and need you for a lifetime.

I have heard it said in many contexts that whatever does not kill you makes you stronger. Well, you survived having the first one, and the terrible twos, and now have a three-year-old who is probably a good bit of fun, learning new things and beginning to have a really interesting personality. So involve the Big Boy in preparations for a little brother or sister.
So you've come this far, you know more and are stronger in many ways that before you had your son. He's old enough to train to be of real help to you with the newcomer, if you don't let jealousy be an issue. He'll be proud of being the big brother who knows more than the little kid, and teaches the important things, like how to eat peanut butter. It is an art, not a science.

Sometimes you aren't. But I hope you love and care for this next child as much as you seem to for the 3 year old!
Good luck.
Hint:When you have the next baby, it might seem like there's never enough time for both. Set some priorities. If you need to put off housekeeping, for example, do it. get some other family members or Friends to help with the kids. Get plenty of rest.
But enjoy!

AAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW honey.. Cheer up.... if god is gonna bring you to it, he help bring you through it.
Like the girl says above you will learn to love you second child just as much and your children will love you unconditionally. Just don't be afraid to ask your friends and family for help. I'm sure if they know you are stressing they will help you... with 1 if not both. And just be sure that you do get you adult time in. I went to other moms for advice... I went to parents.com and joined on the chat rooms.. and the ladies there were totally supportive.

What a blessing. Your little boy will love to help so involve him as much as possible and never get short or mad because he is going to be underfoot. You are never given more than you can handle, so open your mind to all the fun you will have. Children are awesome and raising them is so fun. Although it can be a chore. Focus on raising strong, independent, God fearing children. You can handle this... consider yourself blessed.

They're not accidents, they are miracles. If you think of it that way, it won't overwhelm you. Think of all the Moms out there who would love to have a baby but are not able.

I was in the same boat .. except my son was not even quite three. You will love the next just as much as the first. And somehow ... someway... you always make it :)
