Having a baby is always exciting. My youngest just turned 2 and SO has 3 others. I never once Worried about it not being exciting enough. You should of seen his face- pure joy! Each child is just as amazing as the last, sometimes more special than the next. You will feel it yourself when it happens!

I dont understand when people have these sort of feelings but it appears to be fairly common as I see it come up on this board often. My current dh and I both had children previously from other relationships and then we had one together. I can guarantee you that I have never once ever felt that our dd was less special in any way because she wasnt first. I am also quite certain that my dh never felt this either. I dont love my ds more either because he is the only boy. I love all my children the same. I have somewhat different relationships with all of them because they are different individuals, but again I would never love one of them more or less, becasue they were first last or boy/girl.

I actually just found out I'm pregnant about a week ago (my first). My DH has a son and daughter from a previous marriage (SS8, SD4) so they are both very young still. I was a little worried when I found I was prego b/c, like you said, he already has one of each and they're both very young and still fun to be around. I couldn't have been more wrong. He has been incredible thus far...he's sweet and attentive. He tells me all the time how important this baby is and he's even signed up for weekly baby monitoring emails and forwards them to me. We have decided not to tell his kids until everything is confirmed in about a month but he seems really excited and it's all he wants to talk about. He was looking up baby names at work the other day, which made me laugh but still...better than the opposite reaction, I must say. It's a little nauseating to some, I'm sure but just to ease your mind a little I thought I would post my experience.
