As I type this my little guy is eating pizza like a pro...Well eating the toppings off and making the crust into towers on the side of his plate. All the while he has a horrible cough and runny nose....this is making for an entertaining lunch time.
I just got an email that said I have 147 days left to go with Baby 2. Yesterday we went to our apt to "see" the baby as G puts it, and although we are only about half way there it feels like it will rush up on us quickly. G is adapting well, I think, to the idea of another person being here but I can see his little jealousy coming through here and there. We shall see. I am still sticking to my goal of not wearing full on preggo clothes until week 20....6 more days to go. I am super surprised that my regular pants still fit, and comfortably! With G I think, let's be real, I didn't pay attention to what I was eating.... I just ate and was not being active. Baby 2 I have a little more focus. Working out and fueling myself is really important to our family and my own mental health. Making sure that I keep me in the forefront of what is happening to my body is more of a priority with this one.
Sitting outside has been such a treat. To be able to get the same work done from home, but be able to soak up some much needed vitamin D and watch G play and enjoy! It reminds me of when we were waiting for that little man to make his entrance. We would get home from our appointments and play in the backyard with our pups and just enjoy those last few weeks of it being Andy and I. Now we are starting the same thing, enjoying the family time with just the 3 of us. August is a bit away still but I am stopping and enjoying this family time.
Babies change everything and I know that is a cliche thing to say/write. It is true. For months we both fought the change. We both thought that eventually our "normal" life would return and we could get back to "normal." Not for a long time did it finally sink in that our new "normal" was VERY different. So, I am sitting here wondering what the new family dynamic will be with a 2 year old and a newborn? Will I still get time with just Andy, just G, and just myself? Will the adjustment be as rough as it was with G? So many things run through my mind....I am trying not to worry about it right now....just trying to enjoy the warmth of the sun on my face and watch G play.
