I've always felt pretty attached to my daughter but now that I'm pregnant again I feel like it's in overdrive. She's a toddler, so getting some independence, but I feel I've been babying her a little more than before I was pregnant.
Did this happen to anyone else, did it calm down as pregnancy progresses?

I cherished the time I had with her more. I knew things would change when #2 came, and they totally did. We kind of had a bucket list of things to do together before her sister came. It was fun! But at the same time, near the end of my pregnancy I encouraged her independence a lot more because I knew she could handle it and it would be good for her once the baby came.

I'm not pregnant again but hope to be soon and I know this will happen.
It makes me sad to think he will not get as much attention from me.
I plan to have like an awesome list of things to do with JUST HIM before LO#2 comes along.
I do agree with @SAHM0811: that I will also encourage independence because I am going to need LO#1 to be able to do things on his own so that I am not needing to tend to both kids 100% of the time. Things a young toddler can do I guess...mind you, I have no idea what those things are since my LO is still only 5m old.
