In a post on Johnson’s Instagram, he writes that he and Hashian are “boundlessly grateful” for their upcoming bundle of joy, according to UsMagazine.com. Johnson doesn’t seem to mind being the only male of his household, as he stated: “And once again, big daddy is completely surrounded by beautiful estrogen and loving, powerful female mana […] I wouldn’t have it any other way.” The celebrity couple welcomed their first child Jasmine Lia, in 2015. Congratulations to Johnson and Hashian!
There’s another celebrity baby on the way! What are some ways to prepare for your second child differently from the first?
Cupid’s Advice:
A second baby is very exciting! While you certainly are more of a parenting pro the second time around, there are still some considerations to keep in mind. Check what Cupid has to say:
1. Talk to the future big sis/bro: Your first child is used to garnering all the attention from you and your partner, so another kiddo will be an adjustment for them. Make sure you take the time to talk to the first-born so they know what to expect. Make it clear that you still love them just as much, and that nothing will change your relationship.

2. Utilize your hand-me-downs: You’ve probably got a lot of old clothes and necessities lying around the house somewhere, so use them! This helps keep your finances in check and is also makes it feel as though you’re getting your money’s worth. The toy that your first-born child played with one time will feel brand new for your second kid!

3. Take inventory of what you have and need: Sure, you have most of the necessities already, but before baby #2 arrives, get together with your partner and assess your current staples. Get rid of/donate anything you don’t use or anything that is worn out. Then, make a master list of things you need and things that need to be replaced! Out with the old, in with the new.
