The countdown has begun!

I “only” have ten weeks left of my pregnancy and it’s either the anxiety or heartburn that is weighing my chest down. I’m getting to the place where I can accept that I will have two children and I may even learn how to manage two. I’m definitely anxious to not be pregnant anymore and not have to lug around the extra baggage. What I am starting to fear is Drew handling the changes. Right now we come home from work and give him our undivided attention. The times he gets into the most amount of trouble is when we start to make dinner or take our attention away from him. When we have the opportunity to spend time with him; he has two pairs of eyes watching his every move, two pairs of lips vying for kisses, two pairs of arms begging for hugs, etc. Once the baby comes, by nature, it will reduce to one pair. It may not always be Daddy on Drew-duty or Mommy on Drew-watch, but by nature of adding to the equation, it will be less attention. Historically he hasn’t liked it when either of us is taking an ounce of attention away from him to tend to anything! Let alone a new sister that demands our 24/7 attention. This may sound like a familiar sob story, I’ve been worrying about Drew acclimating since I found out I was pregnant. The difference is that this is about to become a reality. We don’t want to do anything to make the most happy, precocious, loving baby feel anything but good, even in the presence of a new baby. Not to mention, the reoccurrence of the devil, a.k.a Drew’s bad behavior, seems to be especially prevalent with a reduction of attention. So how do we manage his devil tendencies, making him feel as special as possible and a new baby?!?!
