I realized I have been a bad cyber mom and have completely neglected to announce that we are soon expecting a second little bundle of joy! I am now 17 weeks and we are dying to know if we are having a little dude or dude-ette! We find out February 20th so check back for a gender update! Hannah seems to understand that there is a baby in Mom’s tummy, but of course its hard to be sure. She gives the baby kisses sometimes and it is enough to melt your heart. I swear this pregnancy is flying by faster than the first! People are very adamant that the second baby never gets the same attention as the first, which all though this may be true, I have already decided to try my hardest not to let that happen. I think its so important to have enough time to bond with your baby and not always have the other children around. The new baby needs alone time with Mom. That being said, I also want to make time to spend alone with Hannah. I dont think we will have a jealousy issue because Hannah loves babies and is very good at sharing, but you never know.
Although we are very excited about this big life change, it does bring a certain amount of stress. We now have to find a place to move soon. We still live in a one bedroom apartment, and having one kid in here is crazy enough! We also need to get a new car because our two door golf just inst gonna cut it anymore! It’s a tight squeeze as it is. I would also prefer to be at home full time and not splitting my time between a million other things. Working wears me out, bring Hannah is a blessing and a curse. Needless to say, we have a lot to be praying about and a lot on our minds. Lord preserve my sanity!
Congrats so exciting! Can’t wait to find out what you are having too!
