My situation is not quite as dramatic, but I can assure you that the older ones will not only love the new arrival, but will be a great help as well. My 'older' 2 are 10 and 11, and we also have an 18 month old and one due in July. I am 36. The kids are so excited for the arrival of their little brother. They also dote on the their little sister. Sure... sometimes they moan and groan when I need help, but for the most part, they enjoy having her around. I though it would be hard, since the older 2 are so close, and are used to doing everything together. Yet they still manage to include the baby in their activities. Don't worry. Its a bit of an adjustment going back to diapers and bottles, but I find I have way more patience than I did when I was in my 20s. Good Luck!
