The Kids Know Another Baby is Coming: Ideas to help them adapt

Our four kids are getting excited for the new baby to get here. This weekend we are going to get her crib set up, the baby clothes in the drawers, get the car seat ready, etc. Our oldest daughter, Annie, is surprisingly less excited than I'd expected. I think she's a little jealous of the attention that the new baby is already getting. I keep pointing out what a great big sister she is to Jillian and how much the new baby will love her. I asked Annie to help me decide where we should put things in the baby's closet, etc. I'm trying to give her special jobs. I also told her she could be the first big kid to hold the baby. Any other ideas to involve the other kids too?
