-At this stage in my first pregnancy, (17weeks) I was itching at the seams to know the sex. This time I don't think about it as much and I'm really looking forward to being surprised. This is so rare for me as I hate surprises and My planning gene should be going haywire but nope. No worries here.
- Let's talk about weight. With Emery's pregnancy I watched what I ate. I ate as healthy as possible and was very conscious to make sure I was getting enough protein since I don't eat meat. This time It's just whatever. I wanted more sweets with emery, This time i want salty things. Think chips and fries, any carbs. I also exercised five days a week with Emery because I was so scared about the weight gain and loss. This time I simply don't care. I still gained 40 pounds with Emery and it took me six LoNg months to take it off even with all the milk I produced. So i am just preparing myself for six months to lose the weight this time.
- Don't get me wrong I don't want to be a house (although I already feel like one) But I am just not thinking about it 24/7 like last time
-Names. I was crazy about deciding on a name ASAP with Emery. This time I do still think about it a lot but I am not as neurotic about it.
- I do worry about what to do with Emery when I go into Labor. All the stories I have heard the second baby comes faster than the first. This being said I was in labor with Em for 18 hours so fast could still mean a long labor. But Since my mom is in Lake Charles what happens if it's the middle of the night? I have these nightmares of Archie holding Emery on his hip and helping me push at the same time in the delivery room. Traumatizing Image but these are the things I dream about! I know it will all work out but still. If It's during the day I know I could drop her by a friends or her sitters until my mom makes it to town.
-Baby's room. It will stay the guest bedroom/office until we get home with the baby. I assume (I hope) my mom will come stay a few days to help me out so I want to leave the bed in there for her. But Then It comes out, deer heads come OFF the wall :), and crib goes in. I think we will just leave the desk and computer in there for now. We hope to put our house on the market in April so what's the point in painting another room when we will just have to do it again in the new house?
- So those are just some random thoughts about baby Hebert number 2. I think, Think I may feel something every now and then but can't be sure. It's still early. With Em I think I was 20 weeks before I felt her. We are just praying for a healthy baby and a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Hope all is well with you!
