28 weeks: Book II

Well I am 28 weeks pregnant with baby number two!

This has been such a different pregnancy for me. I sometimes forget I am pregnant until I look down at my basketball or I jump when I feel that kick or punch. I feel bad because I don't want this baby to think I neglected it in any way. I haven't. I still take my prenatals every night and I haven't eaten any sushi, or anything else I'm not supposed to. It's just that I am so busy chasing after Maya who just turned 16 months that I don't have that time to give this pregnancy as much attention. But maybe that's a good thing because I spent SO much time being obsessively worried about Maya's pregnancy and I haven't had as much time to do that now. So maybe that's been healthier in a way.

I will say that I am sooooo tired all the time. Unlike my last pregnancy I don't have the luxury of spending hours on the couch and vegging and pigging out. The upside to this is that I haven't gained as much. The downside is that I miss my couch time :)

But I have to say that a 16 month old baby, while hard to chase after, is such a blast. Maya is so smart and sharp. I can't believe she knows what she knows. I am in awe of her everyday and I just want to eat her up. She has great vocabulary- saying mommy, hello, cheese, teeth, dog, duck and others... She is funny and goofy and I love getting to know her and watching her grow before my eyes.

I am so grateful.

Anyway, hope to write more soon. Not that anyone reads this anymore... it's okay though :)

nighty night!
