babysugar Diaires: Getting Baby #1 Ready for Baby #2

I never thought of myself as "most popular" growing up but I finally found my #1 fan — and she's not letting anyone near her prized possession.

I never thought of myself as "most popular" growing up but I finally found my #1 fan — and she's not letting anyone near her prized possession. Every time I am around another child, my lil one eyes me like a hawk. Though she can barely form a sentence yet, she clearly makes it known that I am NOT allowed to touch or pick up other children. Aware that this is just a phase, I am still a tad worried about how she will receive our newest addition to the family.

Heeding advice from other second–time mothers, and possibly Angelina Jolie, I am going to give my tot her very own baby doll. This weekend, she and I will go pick out a baby and a stroller for her to love and adore, just as I have her. Hopefully she will get used to the idea of having another "baby" in the house in the remaining 20 weeks of pregnancy. Stay tuned to the babysugar Diaries for progress reports.

To my surprise, expectant friends are having a tougher time on their second go round.

One woman has a severe case of placenta previa, which is preventing her from traveling, exercising or having sex. On top of that, the umbilical cord is straight down the middle in a precarious position.

Concerned with the baby in her belly AND entertaining her 18–month–old son, this second pregnancy has been more worrisome than the first.

Nothing prepares parents for their first child and the second brings an equal amount of surprise.

The Poop founder, Peter Hartlaub recently wrote a hysterical post about bringing home his second son (Congratulations!). He said:

While my wife and I discussed the possibility that Child Number Two wouldn't look and act exactly like the first, I really did expect a complete clone.
