I suppose they say that the belly remembers pregnancy when it does it again. Where I was barely showing with Emma at this stage and only just for Henry, this baby belly is like, WHOMP THERE IT IS.
I am definitely *looking* quite a bit more pregnant these last couple of weeks and have triggered the ahem, personal questions.
Is this your last?
Do you know what causes that?
You're done, right?
Was this planned?
How/when/in what position/on what day are you delivering?
UHH. Folks, I think the question you should ask is, How are you doing? And after that, no more questions and only congratulations and what a blessing should you utter. MMKAYTHNX.
Also, this time around, things seem to be moving along way too fast. Whereas with the first two, I would count down each day and read all the daily updates on how big baby is and what is new this week and look forward to every little change. This time I'm like, WHUT 16ISH WEEKS ALREADY, HOW??!?!
Clearly I am processing this pregnancy like a champ.
Although I did start feeling the baby move this week which gives me all the happy feelings (you know, in between the crippling panics of, THREE!? HOW?!).
Now that I am firmly into the second trimester, I am enjoying the increased energy. Well, maybe not an increase so much as no debilitating exhaustion. So, silver lining? Ha. With Henry, I was recovering from my emergency appendectomy so I did not get to enjoy these weeks so much.
On to the fun stuff.
