23 weeks pregnant
Have you ever felt butterflies in your tummy? It has always been one of my favorite feelings in the world. Like the feeling right before you walk down the aisle to get married. Or when you fall in love for the first time. Baby #2 has been a moving maniac lately and I can't help but enjoy every minute of the "butterfly" feeling. I compare the two feelings because every time I feel her kick I get a sudden rush of excitement...Last night Chad felt the baby for the first time. It is such an amazing feeling and I love that I can now share it with my husband! This pregnancy has been so different from my previous one, with Tyler I was so sick that I couldn't really enjoy it, and I thought people were crazy when they talked about how they miss being pregnant, but with this one, my morning sickness has subsided so I am free to enjoy every flutter, and every movement. Now I understand why women love being pregnant.
As some of you know I have had a terrible time feeling guilt about bringing another child into the world because I already have 1 wonderful child, I find myself thinking, how am I going to treat both equally and love them both the same? Well I have come up with an answer that is good enough to ease my own stress...They are 2 completely different people, and according to the ultra-sound tech they are 98% chance they are 2 different sexes. So of course I will not love the the exact same, but I know for sure that I am going to love them both as much as I possibly can. I do remember having similar feelings about Tyler when I was pregnant with him, but they were "am I gonna love this baby?" I of coarse love him with every ounce of my body so when I think back to that, I laugh at myself. I just have to remember that my children are my life and I have so much love to share with them.
On that note...let the shopping begin!
