#2.

A lot of people have asked how things are going with my pregnancy and I realized that I have not blogged about it to date.
I have been feeling good. I am about 7 months prego now and my belly is BIG! At least it feels big...bigger. I feel like I was this big at 9 months with Ella but I am assured by many that I was much...much bigger. It is a unique experience being pregnant a second time. I knew every little thing that was happening with my first in terms of development, I read all the books and journals. I'm lucky if I can read a magazine this time!
It's not to say I am too busy. I take the time to connect with her and have noticed she seems to be a bit more low key than Ella was. She doesn't move and groove as often as Ella did and will let me she's there. One night I was expressing to Matt that I was concerned that she wasn't moving and couldn't remember the last time she moved...just as I said that - she moved. It was a very touching experience.
Ella has been kissing my Belly and refers to the baby by name. We have started to get ready to set up the nursery. It is a wonderful experience, this time in my life. I love family, I love my family!
I am nervous too. I am nervous about being a good mom and about the post-partum period. I had post partum depression with Ella which was pretty upsetting. I am hoping having my little Bean to make me happy will help.
Although wonderful, it is also harder this time around. Matt works a lot so for me to end a work day and "have" to be on for Ella is exhausting. Especially the later I get in the pregnancy.
I enjoy my sleep and rest and those who take care of me a lot more now than I ever have. I am looking forward to a lot and scared about a lot...just like with any other big life transition. But I always put it into perspective by thinking that it will all work out as it should and things are as they should be.
