Confessions of an emotional pregnant lady
Well, we are doing it again! Baby #2 (codename Hammer) is on the way. We are working on getting the website up and running again, but at least I can post on the blog until then. Andy and I will try to keep things updated as we can.
Right now I'm about 23 weeks along (over halfway, yay!). I can feel Hammer moving around and kicking, and Andy has even felt movement a few times. Managing food has been an issue. I vacillate between forgetting to eat and then feeling bleh and then worrying about eating too much (although I know I'm not. In fact I eat very healthy. Fried foods are not all that appealing right now).
The biggest issue for me lately is I am so emotional! I have forgotten a lot of how things were last time. I know it is all normal, but it is still a lot to take at times. Poor Andy has had to deal with me and a 3 year old girl in the same house. He's a trooper.
Random things I've discovered this time around:
1. I do not like roosters. (This has been reinforced over the past couple of weeks)
2. Beef is good (this is consistent with last time), as is dairy, fruit, and cake.
3. I had the same first craving this time as last time, which I think is amusing - steak and shake cheese fries and a strawberry milkshake.
4. Trying to run a start-up business while pregnant is harder than anticipated (as is trying to manage a fairly well mannered but still true to her age 3 year old).
5. Water is wonderful (especially cold water in which to submerse one's giant overheated self).
6. The profile of the pregnant form is reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock (I have a fun picture to prove it :) ).
7. Coming up with names is just as tough the second time around as it was the first.
8. Ultrasounds are awesome. We saw the heart today and got the all clear that it is structurally sound. The spine looks all zipped up. Organs, etc. are functioning properly.
9. Reading heart wrenching/warming things is dangerous (and can lead to dehydration). This includes episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
10. Time moves both ridiculously fast and agonizingly slow all at the same time.
