In the first few months after I gave birth to baby J, I couldn't imagine myself going through the whole pregnancy process again. Sure, I knew my baby had to have a sibling, but, the thought of getting pregnant again, with all the symptoms I had plus going through the post-op pain of a C-section, I didn't even want to think of getting pregnant.
But, I fell in love with my daughter; and the hubby and I have been having a blast raising her that after awhile, I felt myself wanting to be pregnant again. When I saw pregnant ladies in the mall, I would think to myself how nice it was to be pregnant again. That was my cue that I was ready for another baby. I no longer remembered my past pregnancy discomforts, rather, I remembered how much fun it was to have a little person in the house.
And so, here we are, on another exhilarating journey of pregnancy, but this time, with a two-year old to take care of as well. This is why I haven't been able to write in the last few months. Between work, family, and pregnancy symptoms, I am bushed!
Things have been more difficult now compared to the first pregnancy, since you not only have to take care of the baby growing inside you, but also the little lady jumping and running around the house who also needs your love and attention.
But of course, with all the difficulties, comes the joy of knowing that soon, there will not be one, but two sources of joy! And being the resilient human beings that we are, we trudge on through the nausea, vomiting, and what-have-you to experience this overwhelming joy all over again. That is the beauty of being a mom!
