sibling jealousy

[niab]

hi all
expecting 2nd baby tomorrow!
took a long time to conceive and this is a very much wanted baby boy
all happy apart from big sister!
she is 5 going on 15 and is adamant she does not want a brother and he'll have to go back and be changed for a girl!
any ideas please??

you could let her choose your new babies name (well sort of). write down the name your going to call your baby on a few pieces of paper, pop them in to a hat and let your little girl pick one. She will think she's picked the new babies name when actually the names in the hat are all the same. She might feel a little more involved.

hope baby comes on time for you. I haven't got one yet but I know from friends who have that the waiting around can be a pain....wishing you an easy, smooth birth and a healthy baby.
