Cupid’s Advice:
There are a some things that you would do differently to prepare for another child versus when you were preparing for your first one. Here are a few:
1. Prepare your children for the new baby: Let them know what they should be expecting. You don’t want things to be a surprise to them. You should talk to them about how much of your time the baby will be taking up, how they should treat the baby, and also what the new rules may be. You have to establish boundaries and help your kids transition.

2. Spend lots of time with your children: Like said before, the new baby will take up tons of your time. So have some quality moments with your kids. Plan family time a few times a week. And continue planning family time after your baby is born. It will be less time, but planning will help you not neglect that duty.

3. Run all your errands: Anything that can get done before your baby is born, do it. This is not the time to be a procrastinator. Doing as much as possible before your bundle of joy comes is essential. Don’t put anything off. Buy all you need to buy and make all the preparations you need to make well before your due date.
