Cupid’s Advice:
Here are a few things to think about before the stalk drops off another baby:
1. Prepare the siblings: The one who will most notice the change around the house will be your oldest child. Make sure that they know what is coming when the new baby arrives so they aren’t in for too big of a shock.

2. Work together: This child will even out the teams of kids vs. parents. Before it was you and your partner taking care of one child, but now it is two on two. You and your significant other will have to step up your game to keep both your bundle of joy and your older children happy and healthy.

3. See what you can reuse: You have likely saved a lot of items from your first child that you can reuse for your second. These include a baby changing table, crib, and certain outfits. Make a list of what you can reuse and what will need to be repurchased.
