Anyone who knows Sam KNOWS that she has one of the most inquiring minds. And for lack of creativity of my own enough to spit out posts, I am going to humor her inquiries.
She asked, how is pregnancy for me the second time around. I have to say, it has been different. Here is the lowdown:
Morning sickness: none
AFTERNOON SICKNESS: not as much as with Bella.
Overall Queasiness: WORSE. I could not walk into my pantry or the girls bathroom at school without gagging.
Sleepiness: WORSE. Of course with my first pregnancy I was working in an office by myself, so I could nap whenever I wanted. Now, with 30 1st graders singing Miss Mary Mack at the top of their lungs, not so much.
Weight Gain: DON'T Even want to talk about it, but lets just say that I am 3 months away from my due date and I look the same as the day I went into the hospital with Bella. I am carrying Amelia Bright very HIGH. Just as soon as I found out I was pregnant, the next week I couldn't button my pants. NIIIIIIIIICE.
Anxiety: So far, Amelia looks and is measuring just the same as Isabella, but I am a little worried for some reason that this delivery will not be as blissful as my delievery of bella. Really, ya'll, I couldn't have asked for a better delivery, and I am afraid my good luck will have run out.
So, really thats about it. Other than being ecstatic and not at all dissapointed that this is another girl. I know girls. I am good with girls. I have PROOF.
I love how this blog is ALL ABOUT ME and what I want to read about. Ha ha!
I want to encourage you on your birth with Amelia - I think it will be fine. You were a champ last time and I know how strong you are! It is worrisome, wondering when things are going to start and how long it will last - but I think you'll deal with it, no problem. I wouldn't change my birth experience, even not knowing when/where/how. I would change feeling like a cow, moaning through the contractions until I was far enough along for an epidural, though. That's just never fun!
