IM PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND LITTLE GIRL, MY FIRST DAUGHTER IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND I WANT DONT WANT HER TO FEEL LEFT OUT AT ALL. IS THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING HER NOT FEEL LEFT OUT IN ANYWAY?

Share the baby with her. Teach her where the diapers are or where her little clothes are...that sort of thing.
