Here I am in my 30th week of my second pregnancy and I started thinking:
What is different this time around?
How have I changed since my pregnancy with Jude?
What am I feeling?
What am I doing?

10 weeks isn’t that far away. And if baby girl is anything like her brother she will be here in 8 weeks – not 10! Crap!
So what is different this time? I am not a nut ball, really I don’t think I was even THAT bad with Jude but I was a lot more worried about my food intake and exercise and over just taking it easy. Well that is a big difference, taking it easy just doesn’t happen in our home – Jude is crazy!!
What am I feeling? I am feeling a lot more uncomfortable than I remember at this point with Jude. But mostly I am feeling not as connected to this baby for some reason – maybe because of the rough start we had? Maybe because I feel like I am going to make Jude feel bad? Maybe because I am just too damn tired to wait up to feel those baby kicks?? I don’t know. I have heard this from other 2nd time moms so it doesn’t make me feel like the MOST TERRIBLE MOTHER ON EARTH!! Lol Okay, maybe a little.
Jude’s nursery was done by this time – the amount of stuff we have to accomplish in 8 weeks/10 weeks is sort of laughable. It might happen…it probably won’t though. Surprisingly, I am holding it together and not freaking out just yet…give me a couple weeks.
We do have a name picked though! That is earlier than with Jude – point for us!!! Still debating if we should share THE name just yet though….
As this pregnancy comes to a close I am also thinking – is this the last time I will feel a baby inside me? Will we decide our family is complete? I am not sure. It is an uneasy feeling and for the time being – at least 3-4 years we are done, done with having a prego belly. A part of me is fine with that – we have a boy and girl, what most people LONG for. And to be quite honest, this pregnancy was hard, and scary in the beginning, not something I would wish on anyone. If I knew that my next pregnancy could be just like with Jude – I would jump on it!
Being pregnant is fun, being pregnant is hard, and being pregnant is beautiful. And as of today, I love being pregnant. We are so blessed.
I cannot wait to meet baby girl and bring her into our home and our life. Seriously, 10 weeks cannot come soon enough, even if the nursery isn’t done…who cares!
I feel much of what you're feeling. I've been slack with this little one's pregnancy journal, I don't blog nearly enough about this pregnancy, I'm not enjoying this pregnancy as much…and I think I was more organized and on top of things!
Oh hun- I felt the same thing with Zane. I even felt the same kinda of not as excited feeling when we was born, Now, I love that kid more than I could ever imagine. Don't worry at all! i can't wait till you meet her either!!!
