Sana is very excited that a baby is coming, more so for a baby sister. Our neighbor had their second baby girl in October. That made Sana even more anxious. she spent a good five minutes watching that baby girl and uttered: "she is so cute." Ever since then, she has been questioning about the arrival date of our baby. "I have been waiting, EVERYDAY."
At the same time, she is a little worried about her own welfare. She is in the talk of having me and the baby sleeping in her bed. I guess the thought of her sleeping alone while the baby stays close to me might mean some unfairness.
We discussed how we should still put Sana's needs as priority after the baby arrives, hoping that will ease the potential tension and jealousy. Daddy totally agreed. He is the second oldest of seven so he knew what exactly a young child feels when the younger siblings arrive. His way then to deal with it was to fight, which is not what we want from Sana. So we will treat this a little differently than his parents did.
I think I should also talk to my parents about this as I myself, being the third in four, never felt any jealousy as far as I remember. So they must have done something amazing. Or we might be naturally accomodating? :)
