Someone once asked my mom, "How do you divide your love between your children?" My mom said, "You don't divide love for children, you multiply it." The first 3 kids were born one after the other each year after my parents married so I've been in your children's shoes, and you know what? My mom was right. My mom took the time to nestle us all around her at night while she read us great adventure stories, even when the family had grown to 5 children, and although we didn't have much materially, we were never lacking love.

It may be easier said than done, but I suggest just spend time with each child individually and as a group. Let them know clearly(especially if they are like 6 or under) that you love them each the same, but the baby needs more help because he/she can not do everything on their own. If they are the younger ones it is often good to get them to be "mommy's special helper" so they do not feel left out. I think the older children 9+ won't feel too left out, because they will naturally lend a hand and that's also the age where they want privacy any way.

Believe me you will have an abundance of love. For some reason having 3 kids does that to you.
You will have little helpers and all of that knowledge from 2 previous. My kids are 12,8, and 4 years old and the older ones help out the younger one so much. Good Luck I'm sure you'll be a great mommy!!!!!

Congratulations!!!! I'm not sure if I should really be answering this question as I have no kids of my own. I do however have 4 nieces and a nephew and I worry about this all the time. I think it will come naturally. I think its just one of those things that happen. Make sure even though it may be hard as well has having family time do something special individually with the other even if its drawing a picture, reading them a book, helping with homework. Good-luck!!!!

I am 15 weeks pregnant w/ our 3rd. I was concerned when I first found out too, but you know what I realized after having my seond my heart/love only grew and there will be a time of transition but it will all happen. Give yourself a few weeks let the hormones calm a bit & you will be more calmed about it, good luck & congrats
