Well all I can say is every pregnancy sure is different. With HB I was nauseated in the morning, but after a nice greasy breakfast I was good and was really only "sick" one time with her...well with this little pumpkin I have been sick, sick, sick. Even with the sickness though, I can't help but have anxiety and excitement every day. To watch my belly change and know that some of the little flutters I am already feeling are the baby amazes me every day. Some people don't believe it's the baby, but trust me there ain't no gas moven' like that in me, this little one has already made a nice home in my lower abs to where the Dr. and I discussed the fact that my ab muscles are already splitting and that is why I can feel this little one already...pretty crazy!!! I don't feel the baby daily by any means, but he/she got me good once when I was all curled up in a ball on my couch that the movement freaked me out so much that I screamed, just like I did the first time I felt HB move. It's a good scream, just an unexpected feeling for sure, but magical.
I went from all day sickness to nighttime sickness, which is not easy to deal with when you have a four year old running around. Speaking of my four year old, she has been amazing during mommies sick evenings, she covers me up as I lay on the couch, gives me a kiss and tells me everything will be okay....she has no idea how much that melts my heart. She also loves to come and sit next to me when I am sick in the bathroom or she makes sure I have my bowl encase I get sick on the way to the bathroom...she is a great little helper, not so sure she is going to want to help much with the baby at first, but time will tell.
We have told many of our friends and family about this little one and everyone seems to be pretty excited. One of my best friends and I are only about 7 weeks apart so that is fun. She has a cute little belly right now, to which I am gaining on her for sure, and she is hoping for a little girl. Love her dearly, as she takes care of HB for us so she was very excited to learn she will have this little one with her all day too when I go back to work after maternity leave.
Oh Maternity leave, how I am already trying to figure this out...I am such a planner....not sure which one of my parents you can blame for that, but I know my sister and I got it from one of them. In more preparation we have been redoing our house, I will post some pictures of that later on and I have been getting some things for the baby at very low prices so we are getting prepared for sure. I have a feeling this time is going to fly by really fast, but I am going to try and soak it all in at the same time.
Until my next entry...(hoping to just write more on here...we will see how that goes)...have a great day and enjoy Easter as it is coming right around the corner.
Here is HB's First Easter....

Oh my gosh, love HB's first Easter pic, seems like that was only yesterday that she was so little!
ReplyDeleteI definitely believe you about feeling the baby already, with the second it seems to progress faster, you'll be in maternity clothes in no time too! ;)
Don't think you got planning from your dad!!
