Couple of things...
Hey Mommies 2B!!
We FINALLY found a name we both like! What do you think of Kehan (Ki-an)? It's really the only one we both fancied, and the more I think of it, the more I like it! It grows on you... I know the spelling is unusual but we live in South Africa and Kian would be more easily pronounced if spelled Kehan (we are Afrikaans).
Then, even though big sis (5) is verrrrrrry excited for her little bro to arrive, she has always been one who loves attention and needs lots of cuddles and kisses. Any advice to make her not feel like an outsider once baby arrives?
I am so excited I'm literally counting the days, but I still get moments of feeling overwhelmed. I didn't have this feeling with my previous pregnancies. Anyone else have these moments?

I am loving Kehan. Excellent choice and a honor to your heritage. And I love the middle name too.
Our DS is 3 and at first seemed okay with having a little sister on the way. However this weekend after our shower, he was quite put off by all the things that were for baby and not him. He even pushed the diaper cake off the table. We were prepared and gave him some gifts as well, saying as the big brother, he needed to be ready too. So he got some t-shirts, new books, and a new truck. We also have him scheduled for a sibling class. When baby comes, we will have a gift from her to him. Kinda like a peace offering lol.
Just include DD in things and still set some extra time for her before baby comes. Have her help put things away in the room. I had DS help me arrange her clothes and the diaper cake he destroyed. He was rather tickled at the small diapers.
