We've had lots of chats along the way about our new baby coming, and slowly I've been adding things to those discussion like no, you can't run up and down the hallway screaming like banshees when the baby comes!!

Both my girls have chosen toys for the baby - each of them chose a soft toy. They have also come with me to a couple of appts so have seen scans etc, and my OB was amazing spending quite a lot of time asking the girls what each different body part was. We've made sure to always say its "our" baby, not "my" baby.

I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that DD2 has got incredibly clingy. They know the baby is coming soon - we've said the whole way along that once they've had their birthdays the baby could come any time so its got very real for them.

Otherwise, I'm just reinforcing with lots of I love yours, telling them how much I love them and always will etc. We've also booked tickets to take them to see the Sesame Street stage show thing which will be on a few weeks after #3 is born to hopefully reinforce for them that the fun still happens, even though I might not be quite so available to them all the time.
