Oh my god, I was a princess during my first pregnancy. ?I indulged in daily naps, I laid around reading pregnancy mags and eating icecream, I was sore at times but well rested and so pampered. ?My DH went to all my appointments, my breastfeeding ?and birthing classes, we had a couples shower and we designed and decorated the nursery together and had it complete by 25 weeks. ?
THIS TIME... I am tired. I chase my 2 year old. ?I go to my appt's alone, with the exceptions of ultrasounds because DH stays with DS, there will be no shower or classes to take. My joints hurt and it takes strategy to roll over. ?We are half way to having the kids rooms done since my husband had to refinish the basement so that he could move his office out of the DS's big boy room. I am huge. ?I am measuring 4 weeks ahead.??
I have been deemed a "trooper" by DH and my family. Nice. I will be happy with 2 children, very, very happy.?
Re: 2nd pregnancy is kicking my bubble butt a$$!
LOL, yep, I had a very similar if not identical experience. HUGE wake up call the second time around. Huge!
