for the first time in 7wks ds1 cried at school thismorning (he is in kindy)
he told me he didnt want to leave me and the baby, i think he is anxious and worried and i felt like a bad mum like maybe i havent been telling him the right stuff?? i promised him i will be there to pick him up today and the baby was not coming today

we havent told the kids that bub will arrive on Monday, we prob wont tell them until the weekend (ds2 has to have a sleep over at my parents) and depending on what time we have to be at hospital we will have to drop ds1 to someones house and get dropped to school. is this the right/wrong thing to do?

Ive explained to him mummy and baby will be in hospital for 4-5 days but daddy will be home and will mind them and bring them in each day to hospital.
ive told him i wont be able to drive for a few weeks after the baby is born because my tummy needs to heal. he needs a lot of notice of change so i have been trying to tell him how things will be once i go to hospital.
we have kinda said anytime this week or next week baby "could arrive" and as a game all picked a day..
now i feel maybe ive been talking about it too much, or saying the wrong things??
i held back my own tears thismorning and said to his teacher i think he is quiet anxious about bubs birth and she agreed and said he has been talking a lot about it.

How do u prepare siblings for the upcoming birth
