I kept telling myself I was going to wait to announce my pregnancy until I could express an appropriate level of enthusiasm. If I had mentioned anything about being pregnant in those first 3 months, it would have been "this sucks, I'm sick, it's never going to get better, blah, blah, blah." Now that the nausea is (mostly) over and I've regained some energy, I am feeling a bit more excited about being pregnant. I cannot wait until I get to feel the baby move...that's the most wonderful thing about being pregnant (well, that and getting a child out of it, I guess). But, I'm also feeling a bit unnerved about starting over. And this time, handling the sleepless days and nights with a toddler. So I'm pretty much in denial that it's going to happen.
What I can't deny anymore, however, is my belly. Barely even poking out, but for some reason, I'm wearing maternity pants already. Also just ordered 3 pairs of stretchy pants online. Apparently I want to be comfortable this time around.
I had the timer set on the camera to take this picture and Libby kept running into my shot. I went to crop her out and then suddenly felt so guilty for even thinking of cropping my precious child out of the picture! So here you, go. Me at 14 weeks, and Libby at 19 months old.
YAY! Congratulations, lady!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Congratulations! I'm excited for you! Embrace the comfy pants. You're a stay at home mom, you can wear whatever makes you happy! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm about that same size (who'd have guessed being one week apart in due dates?). I put on maternity pants today, and oh, it feels wonderful. I have a few pants that I can wear for a while without feeling squished, but most of my shorts and capris are smaller and no longer comfortable to wear. I'll still be doing the ponytail holder through the button hole and around the button for a few weeks on those - just to keep my wardrobe a little expanded.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jenn! I'm so happy for you! I still feel bad about how our friendship started as I was in that icky first trimester and life was just too hard. haha. You look great and I love Libby running around in that pic too.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about having a toddler and a newborn, It will all work out!
ReplyDeleteI was worried when Dusty was born and you were not even 2 yet and I also had Christy in Kindergarten! You have a wonderful Husband to help you out.. It will be great!! I love you!
Eeeeeeeeeek!!! So so happy for you Jenn!! Congratulations! I hear you.. I think about the sleepless nights all the time when we think about having another.. :) You will do beautifully, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's so exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteJenn! Eeeeek! I love having two. At first I thought that I'd never get anything done again, but then I got used to it and isaak finally adjusted to sharing a few weeks ago. I had Chloe in October. I loved it. So exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the thought that with your first you can't wait to wear maternity clothes, with your second you wait as long as you can until you have to, and with your third your clothes are maternity clothes! I felt like that exactly (except the third was more like my fourth until I started running more). You never have to worry about it though. you have such a cute slender figure even pregnant.
ReplyDeleteWOW. I guess I've been completely out of the loop with you and your life. Congrats, Jenn! I actually like that Libby is in the shot. I've recently picked up photography. (I'm not super good, but like to think I know what I'm talking about.) Anyway, congrats again! Hopefully, I'll be better at reading your blogs and seeing what's going on in you life. :)
