2nd pregnancy is kicking my bubble butt a$$!

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.?

  • LOL, yep, I had a very similar if not identical experience.  HUGE wake up call the second time around.  Huge!

  • I felt the same way.  And I'm considering have a 3rd baby.  I don't know how I'd make it through!  Good luck and try to enjoy it.

  • i forgot i felt that way with my second pg but i did.  i was still all about me during the first one.  things do change with the second and i'm guessing with the third or fourth you don't think much about it (you don't have time to!)
