Welcoming Baby number 2

To say that this second pregnancy has been different from the first is putting it mildly! I'm feeling like everything that you read about, that could happen in pregnancy has happened with this one. Didn't know that I had it so good the first time around.

Being pregnant with a toddler running around is a whole new ball game.

With the first I spoiled myself silly with "I can't do this, I won't do that; Honey you have to do it, I'm pregnant" and on and on. I think I read to much about how "fragile" you are when you are pregnant and took it literally.

When you're pregnant with number 2, or 3 or 4 you don't have time to sit and be "fragile", you are go on all cylinders everyday. Quite frankly I sit at night and finally feel like my muscles, bones and every achy part of my body can finally relax. But then there are the night time call outs for Doll, or because my daughter is scared of the monsters. I drag my achy body from under my warm covers and tend to her because I love her, and don't feel the aches and pains when she needs me. Part of being a mom I think.

Thankfully, I found out about a hashtag called zombiemoms on Twitter. Life saver to say the least. Those nights that I am lying awake, and even during the day when I need a pick me up I can join in and read/listen to what other moms are going through. They are just like me... Many nights I log onto the momstown message board and feel comforted in the conversations happening there.

I am in awe of amazing moms like @juliecole co-founder of Mabel's Labels (mom of 6) and Ann-Marie Burton founder of momstown.ca (mom of 3) who manage to do it all!

Would I change anything and do it again? Change no, do it again, yes! I'm looking forward to the new baby coming soon. Can't wait to meet this little one and be awake at night even more then before, and experience even more chaos during the day!
