I've noticed, this second time around, that I haven't had a whole lot of time to do those things. Except for noting the aches and pains of pregnancy and lamenting my perpetual lack of sleep, I find myself feeling a little guilty that I spend large portions of the day not even thinking about the little girl I'm carrying. In fact, I've noticed that I spend time purposely NOT thinking about how I'm going to manage with two children, just trusting that things will fall into place.
When I do have some time to myself, however, I try to picture my little girl and I wonder what she will be like. I confess that I hope to see some reflection of myself in her (a mini-me), all the while expecting her to be a complete handful and quite possibly the polar opposite of her big brother. In those quiet moments, when I feel her little baby feet kicking, I do find myself getting excited to meet her and hoping that she and her big brother will be good friends.
Approx. 5 weeks to go. We're in the home stretch!
Sweet reflections! I didn't realize you were so close to delivery. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a little jealous that you're pregnant and I'm not! I actually miss it, a little. Particularly the flutters and movement - I always enjoyed that.
