How to prepare an 18 month old boy for....!!!?

Q. I was wondering...How do I attempt to prepare my 18 month old son for a little sister (Who could come at any moment, I am 38 wks).. He's laid his head on my tummy, And I've told him 'Baby is in there' but I don't think he quite grasps it yet, He's also noticed another crib in his room, And has watched us fold and re-fold her clothes and what not, But I was wondering if maybe someone had some cute ideas to maybe help him further understand...Also - was wondering...

I have an 8 year old boy, and an 18 month old boy, I was wondering what a cute 'gift' from the new baby would be for the both of them! :-)

Thanks bunches in advance!!!

A. He is a bit young to grasp the idea. He will fully grasp it once the baby arrives and is not getting the same amount of attention he once had. Prepare for some regression. He will probably be very jealous of the baby because was the center of your world for a long time and he then has to share you. He may start to feel powerless. Make sure, when your daughter arrives, you take time everyday to show you're love. When she is sleeping, read him a story, play a game, and things that show he is the "big boy" (he can help mommy with things, help with the baby...getting a diaper, let him pick out baby's outfit...).

Help him to feel powerful by saying things like "You did that by yourself. Look how high you can climb! You used so many colors on your picture!" Let him know that you notice him. This is a great way to show attention and love and help him to feel powerful and confident. If he keeps getting messages like these, he ease into this easily.

A great gift from the baby would be some “Big Brother” t-shirts. You can also get the little one some books so he has a better idea on what to expect before the baby comes home. My New Baby-Annie Kubler Waiting for Baby-Annie Kubler The New Baby at Your House-Joanna Cole The New Baby-Fred Rogers are some good ones. Best of luck to you and congratulations!
