We're expecting baby #2!! Yes, Lincoln is just over 5 months old and I am just over 14 weeks pregnant. Crazy, right?! As my good friend likes to point out (or rather she just likes to make fun of me...) I returned from maternity leave pregnant. Only in technical terms, but she still sticks with that humorous comment.
So I used to think 2 under 2 sounded a little exhausting but something that was a possibility. Side note: My only sibling (brother) is 10.5 years older than me...so I basically know the feeling of being an only child. It wasn't all bad, but after I saw the bonds my husband has with his siblings, it quickly made me realize I wanted those bonds for my children.
If I thought 2 under 2 sounded exhausting, I sure am going to be in for a surprise, huh?! I'm already exhausted. The nausea has been much more manageable this time around (I think a lot of that is due to knowing what to expect and how to handle it now), but the fatigue. Oh, the fatigue. It takes everything in me to stay up until 9. I try to stay downstairs until 9 each night (Lincoln goes to bed at 7), but I can't always promise I won't fall asleep for a little 'nap' on the couch before that... Actually, last night I gave up and went to bed at 8:30pm. It's a good thing too because Lincoln was a hand full starting at 2am. Trying to wean him from being swaddled and from needing a bottle in the middle of the night is proving to be a lot of change for the little guy. Too much change. I think Momma needs to focus on one at a time. I'm starting with swaddling. That's another post, though (that I should just write and save tonight while I'm on a roll since I've been doing so poorly in blog land).
Sooooo...back to the original subject of this post. I'm due October 8th... I'll try so blog a little more often but I'm not promising any frequency because, well, I know better. ;)
So now I leave you with a (poor quality) picture of the cutest baby boy ever!

Oh my goodness.... How did I miss this post?! Congratulations!!
I have a dumb question, what were your thoughts when you found out you were pregnant? I had a dream a couple weeks ago that I was 12 weeks pregnant and I cried and cried. I was so upset. I felt guilty that I would be able to give all my time and energy to Mia. And I was terrified to go through it again. I felt like I still needed to forget more to be able to go through labor and nursing again, ha ha. And I didnt want to feel bad about my pregnancy, I wanted to be excited! And when I woke up, I was still pretty upset. Ah!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! (A little late, clearly.)
I really hope you're feeling better! We've been deciding when to try for another and I think it will be soon, but MAN, morning sickness with a soon-to-be-toddler?!? Hells no. I need my mom around for that one!
