I just dont quite get the asprin thing , but the other stuff is kind of funny.10. First Pregnancy: You devour every single weekly pregnancy milestone update fromBabyCenter.com and know exactly what kind of fruit/vegetable your baby currently resembles.Second Pregnancy: ?How far along am I? Um, let me see?maybe somewhere in the first trimester? Wait, no, third. I think.?9. First Pregnancy: You diligently avoid all caffeine, alcohol, sushi and other supposed pregnancy no-nos.Second Pregnancy: ?Make it a DOUBLE ESPRESSO. And bring it up to the bathroom where I?m going to be snorting aspirin in a steaming hot bath. Thanks!?8. First Pregnancy: ?Yay! I?m starting to show!?Second Pregnancy: ?Oh, God. I?m starting to show. AND I?M ONLY ONE WEEK PREGNANT.?7. First Pregnancy: You play French folk music and Learn Japanese CDs before going to sleep in hopes of giving birth to a multilingual genius with an IQ of 150.Second Pregnancy: Screw the folk music. Nothing wrong with having a child of mediocre intelligence! Because, let?s face it, you want to go to sleep as soon as you can when you already have a child with another on the way.6. First Pregnancy: You feel the baby kick around 20 weeks.Second Pregnancy: You feel the baby kick around 12 weeks. And why is that? ?Your muscles aren?t as strong the second time around, so you feel it more,? Candy?s OB says. *SIGH* A simple ?you?re more in-tune with your body? would have sufficed, doc.5. First Pregnancy: YOU: Guess what? I?m pregnant! FRIENDS & FAMILY: Yaaaaayyyy! This is the best news EVER!Second Pregnancy: YOU: Guess what? I?m pregnant! FRIENDS & FAMILY: Oh. Neat.4. First Pregnancy: You buy a ton of maternity clothes to show off that beautiful, blossoming bump.Second Pregnancy: It?s all about sweatpants.3. First Pregnancy: You have outdone yourself with the nursery, which is beautiful enough to be displayed in the pages of House Beautiful.Second Pregnancy: You?re not even sure where you?re going to put the kid. Put a blanket in a dresser drawer, perhaps?2. First Pregnancy: You rub cocoa butter on your stomach every day to avoid stretch marks.Second Pregnancy: You quickly throw on your sweats to avoid looking at the stretch marks caused by your first pregnancy.1. First Pregnancy: You and your baby are celebrated at a fun baby shower.Second Pregnancy: You are lucky if you have the time to take a hot shower.

Yep I agree! I forget I'm pregnant most days except for being sick because I'm too busy chasing the other two! Everyone keeps asking if we are getting things ready...ummm no we still have 30 weeks plus baby will be in our room for a few months!
Second Pregnancy: YOU: Guess what? I?m pregnant! FRIENDS & FAMILY: Oh. Neat."
We haven't announced yet but I anticipate this. Well parents will be thrilled, I think, but friends and people like that will be like, "oh ok."
I actaully did read one of these once for 1st, 2nd and 3rd kids.
It said for the first pregnancy you buy maternity clothes and try to wear them way too early. For the second you try to fit in your regular clothes too long but need to switch to maternity. For your third you are still wearing maternity from your last pregnancy and never stopped. ;-)
There were other things, also about after the child is born, but I don't remember them at all, even though I'm a third baby. But I do remember thinking that we were treating DS like he was a second child. Also the ones here for 2nd looked more like the other list's 3rds, which makes sense because they're pretty extreme pretty fast! haha
This is great! I definitely agree with many of them. Someone asked me how far along I am and I was like oh crap, I'll be in 2nd trimester tomorrow. Wow, already?!
Our very own supermom, yay!!!
It wasn't until living at the hospital 2 hrs away fom home for a year while my 2yo son fought cancer, wearing dumpy clothes, barely seeing my husband since he was working, barely even getting showers. When he died and we came home, I had to get dressed in something else, I had to get out and spend time together. It had been a long time since we had alone time or had even been intimate.
So no, I'm not super mom, I'm just trying hard to stay on top of the depression that comes from grieving my child. The stress that comes with raising an autistic child who struggles with losing his best friend. That comes with the gloominess of winter in general. If I wore sweat pants and sat around, I'd just sit around thinking, and crying. So I keep busy and try to keep moving forward. I do what's best for all of us. I'm not super, I'm struggling, and just trying hard to keep my head above water.
Think before being judgemental. I'm sure there's a lot you don't know about most of the people you make fun of.
