do you feel like this kid is getting the shaft already? We haven't discussed names, I'm not obsessed w/ a nursery (i doubt they'll be a theme) and I'm much more lax w/ my diet.
I totally felt that way during my last pg. I just found out I was pg again last week, and am frankly barely ready to aknowledge the whole thing yet. I am starting to get excited, but fear is more the emotion of the hour.
We haven't discussed names, but we're only at 8 weeks, we have time. And we didn't name DS until after he was born anyway!
We didn't do a nursery for our first because we were in temporary housing and DS was in our room for the first 8 months anyway. We won't have a nursery this time either, because we know we'll be moving when DC#2 is 4 months old. I only had a very small (6 people) shower with my first and expect I won't have any with this one. We really only bought (and had room for!) the basics and I think things are all in pretty good shape for #2 to use too. Of course, grandparents stand ready to buy new clothes if we find out this one is a girl!
I am a little more lax with my diet, but I think that is only because I have to grab whatever I can while running after DS! And because right now I'm still feeling really sick, so I eat whatever I can.
I'm actually feeling better emotionally than I did during my first pregnancy - probably because I'm not working at the difficult job I was working at before, and because DH is a little more available (due to work schedule) than he was the first time around. Unfortunately I'm also feeling MUCH more nauseous this time - ugh!
Re: Second timers...
Actually, I think it's pretty much the same.
