Thirty weeks along.
Ten more to go.
Fastest pregnancy I've ever experienced. Hah.
Baby #2 tends to get the short end of the stick - I was told.
You take millions of photos of the first baby,
and you find yourself having a lot less interest in preparing the second time around.
(I'd like to think you just have a lot less ENERGY rather than interest -- hello, I have a 14 month old!)
So far, these people are dead on!
With Emery, I spent 9 months thinking about all things baby every.single.day.
Her nursery was complete, belly shots were taken each week starting at 13,
a [pricey] custom baby book for milestones was purchased,
maternity photos were taken, and I was swimming in pinks & purples
all before I was even 7 months along.
This time around? I have taken maybe three belly shots,
booked a scaled-down version of maternity photos for next month,
and that's about it.
I suppose I feel like I'm really slacking because we're already set in a lot of areas
- thanks be to having another little girl.
Clothes [loads of them], blankets, rattles/toys, baby gear - all handed down from Emery.
I don't want to be one of those parents who let the little things go with a second baby
(even though it's clearly headed in that direction)
So for the next 10 weeks, but goal is to try a little harder.
We're excited for you, baby #2. I promise!!!
Ashley--I ADORE the picture that is the banner of your blog. So cute and creative. I wish I were pregnant along with you again, but at this point I guess it's too late for that. :( Thinking of you and always wishing we lived closer together!
