I feel awful that I haven't blogged about this pregnancy at all. The only post I have made got lost in the midst of three other catch up posts. It's not that I haven't wanted to or that this pregnancy is less important or special than the first, it's just been so darn crazy around here I can barley keep up with it all.
So, even though I don't have any belly pictures, I thought I should jot a few things down. Ya know, cause I really do want to remember everything about my sweet little babe and how he/she got his/her start.
Since no two pregnancies are the same here are a few comparisons:
1. Miles: Emotional wreck; couldn't stop crying and I was super clingy with Gabe.
Baby #2: Emotional + MEAN; I know I'm being awful and short tempered, but I can't seem to stop it.
Sorry to everyone that has been around me the last few months.
2. Miles: Some sleepiness, but overall I felt great and had good stamina.
Baby #2: My body wants to go into hibernation to grow this baby. If I sit for 5 min I'm out for the count.
3. Miles: Easy peasy no queasy; I felt great with that kid.
Baby #2: I was so nauseated my first trimester. I longed to throw up just for some relief. It never came.
Now that I've entered my second trimester things have calmed down quite a bit. I'm still crazy tired all the time, but that could also come from chasing a three year old and trying to fix up a 60 year old house. Gabe has been an all-star when it comes to putting up with me and my insanity in addition to his own stresses. Miles has been such a good boy and so patient with me when I am unable to wrestle or rough house like we used to. He seems really excited to be a big brother and I think he's going to do a smashing job.
I planned to be more on the ball this time around and take belly pictures each month from the very beginning, well we are now nearly half way done and I have yet to snap a one. Which is unfortunate cause at 17 weeks I am already HUGE! I think I've got a bigger bump now than I did with Miles at 20 weeks. I started showing much earlier with this pregnancy; around 7-8 weeks I couldn't suck it in anymore and by 10 weeks I had to wear baggy shirts so as not to reveal our secret to soon.
It has been quite the adventure so far. The pro/con of being so busy with work, remodel, three year old, husband, etc is that this pregnancy is flying by. On one hand I'm so excited to meet our new bean, but on the other I feel kinda bad that I haven't had time to get wrapped up in the pregnancy like I did with Miles. Well, it is what it is and at this rate our new addition will be here before I have time to put the crib together.
See you soon kiddo.

I wondered when you would be welcoming your next little one into the world. I am excited for you, two really is better than one, even though you can hardly imagine it right now. Its insane! Best wishes!
Emily is right- two IS better than one!
I missed you on Saturday. I am dying to see your cute belly! And I felt the same with with my second pregnancy. I was half way through before I really documented anything. I'm guessing it's a girl because it's so different. Can't wait to meet her :)
