Hi All!
I haven't posted much lately, but I was hoping there might be some other people out there that have had new babies with Cavs that can give me an idea what to expect. We're expecting our first child in March, and I'm a little concerned about how Willow is going to react. Right now, she's our baby - there's always a lap for her when she wants it (and she's not happy about the shrinking size of my lap with the increased belly already!) and she gets lots of attention. Now obviously, we're not going to start ignoring her when the baby comes, in fact we'll be around more, since currently we both work, and I'll be taking a year off to be with baby. But I'm worried that Willow will be jealous of the little one - is there anything we can do to make the transition easier for her? Given Willow's sweet temperment, and how much she likes kids already, I have no doubt she'll be a wonderful "older sister" as the child grows up - I'm mostly just worried about that initial transition and how to make that easier for everyone!
Any advice is welcome!
Thanks,
Krista
