Do it.
Prep you current kid first. Tell her how important it is for her to be a big sister. Let her know how much you need her to help. Show her all the things she can do that a baby can not. Tell her how proud you are of her for knowing these things, and express that you hope she will teach them to the baby.
Make her feel involved and responsible for the new one.
No promises, but it’s worked GREAT with our 3-year old and his 3-month old brother. My only regret is we waited so long to have #2.
