Baby Numero Dos

I am pregnant! I want to shout it from the rooftops, and tell any and everyone who will listen, but I’m patiently waiting for our first appointment. I technically found out 9/11/18, and by my calculations, I should be 6 weeks along. My breasts are hard & so sore, I’m super lethargic, and constantly ready for a nap. I miss having energy for sure! No morning sickness yet, and I’m praying I dodge that altogether this time; fingers crossed. I’m trying to just take this one day at a time, and not worry or have anxiety about weight gain or gestational diabetes possibly happening again. God is in control, and this sweet baby is fearfully and wonderfully made. It’s hard not knowing anything, and not being able to tell people just yet since it’s so early. As early as it is, my body totally feels pregnant. With Elena, I didn’t start having any symptoms until 6 weeks with morning sickness. I’ve felt exhausted & have had the sore breasts for a couple of weeks now. Bobby thinks this one’s a boy, but I’m not convinced. We shall see. I think it’s also weird hat I only really get hungry between 1pm and 4. Other than that, I’m good with a snack here and there, and rarely want dinner. I definitely think being pregnant in my 30’s vs my 20’s with Elena makes a world of difference. It’s also more exhausting because I’m taking care of a kiddo taboot. She’s been so great, though. My sweet girl is the best. She has been praying for a baby brother or sister for the last year now. Every single night she has prayed for this. My sister prayed for me when she was Elena’s age, and here I am! I love that similarity. She’s going to be such an attentive, loving, and nurturing big sister. This baby is so blessed. I know that my dad already knows this little one, and has snuggled with him/her in heaven. He won’t be missing a thing; he and my little baby are already connected. I can’t wait to see the joy this baby brings to our lives, and especially to my mom’s life. This is the ray of sunshine we all so desperately needed after losing my dad. I can’t wait to document this journey, and in one week we’ll have this nugget’s first sonogram picture! Stay tuned!
