| 04-7-2009 - Last Time Around ? |  My mood while writing this blog:mixed feelings |
So, I'm now 7w5d along with baby #2, and feel very blessed. My son Scott will be one year old on July 18th and started walking yesterday! Each day I find myself fighting nausea and fatigue - it makes me feel like I am not taking the best care possible of Scott because instead of taking him for walks or to the playground or pool I find myself letting him play in the family room pretty much by himself. He is a WONDERFUL little boy who does a great job entertaining himself, but this is probably going to be the last summer to have him one on one.
With that being said I think I am going to have to stop having children after #2. I just worry that the more active Scott gets the less likely I'll be able to meet his needs with morning sickness. I always thought 3 children would be the magic number for me, but now I'm just not so sure. I LOVE my son and want to give him and peanut number 2 everything, just not sure it's fair to be a tired yucky feeling mommy for 12 weeks at a time. I feel so guilty, and I hope that writing this will help me toughen up and do more things with Scott - like I did before I was pregnant. I don't want to feel like a crummy mommy.

Hi! Congrats on being preggo with #2!! That's awesome!! I totally agree with mamacas26. The time will pass and little Scott won't remember a thing except that you have always loved him and cared for him! My hubby and I are currently trying to get preggo with #2. We've only just started trying (about 2 days ago). I hope it happens quickly for us. Well, I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted!! :)

Do not beat yourself up. The first 3 months are hard! But, it is only 3 months out of a lifetime of happiness and memories with your son, so I wouldn't worry. Chances are, he is fine. Eventually, you'll start feeling better and he'll get most of your attention back, and you'll start looking pregnant and enjoying every moment of your pregnancy and your son. Maybe just wait a bit longer between your 2nd and 3rd? I know what you mean, chasing after a toddler and being tired and sick can make you not want to do it the same way again. But think of all the awesome things your family is going to do together when they are older. Camping, holidays, watching them go off to school! I gaurantee not one of them are going to turn around and say, "Mom, remember when you had to take more time to yourself for those three months when I was too little to remember? Well I'm really mad at you!" lol. Quit beating yourself up and know that the best is yet to come. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh hun, I totally know what that feels like! I was soooo sock with Noah that I spent my first trimester on the couch. I felt horribly guilty because I wasn't giving everything I felt I should to Bekah. And then when I got huge it was nearly impossible to get down on the floor with her because it was so uncomfortable on my tailbone. I just want to reassure you it does get better. And Scott won't remember at all. Bekah thinks it's fantastic to have a brother to poke at and play with so it was all VERY worth it in the end. Keep your chin up and if you ever need to chat about how you're feeling you know where I am!!!
