Hi everyone -
Sorry it’s taken so long to put pen to paper, but things have been a little hectic in our household lately. You see, we’re building a new house, hopefully moving in three weeks, and expecting a baby in around 6 - 7 weeks.
Sitting down tonight after i put Sam to bed, I started thinking about how different things are when you’re pregnant the second time. I look back fondly on the days of my first pregnancy, taking long baths, sleeping in, reading baby books, and generally trying to prepare myself for the onslought of parenthood.
This time round, life has been consumed by too many other things - work, house decisions, raising my 2 1/2 year old son and generally trying to keep my head above water. Even for those who arent silly enough to try and build a house when they’re pregnant, i think most would agree that it’s just not the same ‘2nd time around’.
It makes me wonder, what will life be like with a newborn for the 2nd time? What should i be doing to ‘prepare myself’?? Hmmmm…time will tell…
