The 2nd Pregnancy

0

2ndpregnancyWe all know that every pregnancy is different. Our bodies are different with each one and respond differently. Duh. But what I am loving so far, being 16 weeks along with my second, is how mentally different pregnancies are. I suppose it makes sense, but I still find myself cracking up at the vast differences…

1st pregnancy: I have 166 days until my due date.
2nd pregnancy: I forgot I was pregnant most of the day yesterday.

1st: That magical moment when you get the crib put together and realize this is actually happening…
2nd: We don’t have room for a crib, so the baby will sleep in a hand-me-down bassinet that I got from a stranger. (Hey…it’s better than a dresser drawer with a blanket in it.)

1st: Nursery decorating! Oh, the colors, the themes, the options!
2nd: Remember the aforementioned bassinet? That will be the baby’s “room” until it can crawl out of it. (Then we’ll move it to the dresser drawer.)

1st: I just found out I’m pregnant…lets start picking out names!
2nd: Is there a time limit on giving the kid a name after its born? (No really, I’m asking.)

1st: Look at that “Baby’s First Halloween” shirt! We must have “baby’s first” of everything!
2nd: My kid will be the one wearing a baby’s first Halloween shirt in March, because it was his older brother’s and they were born in different seasons.

1st: Who wants to see my sonogram pictures?!
2nd: I think I have a sonogram picture somewhere in the bottom of one of my many thirty-one bags.

1st: All of these monthly belly pictures on pinterest are adooooorable.
2nd: AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

1st: I’m starting to show! How wonderful!
2nd: Um, I’m like 4 days pregnant and starting to show. This is stupid.

1st: No, I don’t need medicine. I will just suffer through this illness to protect my baby from any medication side effects.
2nd: If you don’t give me some cough medicine with codeine right now, doctor, I will strangle you with the strap of my new thirty-one bag.

1st: I wonder who the baby’s going to look like.
2nd: I hope the baby has all of its extremities considering all the meds I’ve taken.  And I ate a Jimmy Johns ham sandwich the other day, exposing fetus to the evils of cold cuts.

1st: I love talking about my pregnancy! It’s the highlight of my day…did you know that my baby is the size of an orange?
2nd: Pregnant?  Oh, right.  I hate fruit.  Leave me alone.

Shout out to all the mama’s out there who are pregnant for a second time!

I originally hail from the Land of Lincoln (Illinois), but I am happy to have called the Buckeye State my home since 2007! I have two kids (Milo, 5 & Dash, 2) that I just adore about 50% of the time. The other half of the time I’m dodging balls being thrown at my head while cleaning snot off of my shirt for the 3rd time and reminiscing about the days I actually slept. Also, I love cats. And I have mediocre crochet talents.
