Expecting Baby no 2 and worried!

Hi ladies,
I'm 31 with an almost 6yr old son, took a pregnancy test today as I've been feeling sick since Monday and it came back positive.. We weren't trying but had discussed that if it happened then it happened, but now it's happened I'm like Oh God! I'm not upset, mainly thinking ahead and so worried about how much expense 2 children will be and whether my first child is going to be happy about being a big brother and having a new person in the family, it's been just us 3 for so long and we have a very strong bond with our boy, he's like my best friend and I absolutely adore him, I feel like I'm going to have no time for him once a baby comes and we won't be as close anymore.. Is it normal to feel like this?? I always kind of wanted him to be my one and only so he'd always feel like my number one, will he feel any less special or loved when baby 2 arrives?

They are as expensive as you make them!
And only feel as loved as you show them
I've barely spent money on my first, but she's as happy as can be and knows how loved she is, you find time to give them special time with the things they like to do
Totally normal to feel like that though x

Thanks for that Smile I'm sure we'll be fine I'm just a worrier in general! My baby (6yr old) won't be my 'baby' anymore, I think that's what's stressing me out the most Grin

Worrying will achieve nothing. I say this as someone who is a worrier so I can totally relate but really just try to enjoy the pregnancy and look forward to your new addition! What will be will be.

My two boys get on so so well most of the time. Everything became a little more fun with an extra body. Apart from kerplunk, which causes world war 3 everytime.

I'm happy enough to give my little one the big ones old clothes, and the money I've saved on toys is amazing. They're as expensive as you make it as PP said. I personally don't find holidays THAT much more expensive.

Enjoy every second OP.
