Being pregnant isn't quite so exciting the second time around. I'm fat, achy, and uncomfortable, and about to get much fatter, achier, and more uncomfortable. Last time I didn't know what was coming, I was blissfully unaware of just how long a pregnancy can be. But oh I know now, and I find myself dreading the next 12 weeks. I suppose last time I didn't know how uncomfortable I really was because I had the luxury of sitting on the couch a lot. Keeping up with a toddler involves a lot of chasing around and trying to haul my chubby self up off the floor. My hips seem to be shot. My mom kindly reminded me that's just because they're getting bigger. And some days I just get tired of eating. How can I be hungry five minutes after I eat a meal? Obviously the end result is very rewarding, and I'm looking forward to that. Hmm...until I remember the stress, the sleepless nights, the worry...yeah, I just won't think about that part. I'll just stick with remembering new baby smell, maybe that will help me make it through.

Maybe posting a picture of your cute pregnant belly would help!? ;) (okay I know that's the last thing you want to do, but it's what all of us readers want to see!) hee hee.
Oh, I hear you! Hang in there...
Hang in there bud. "We" just got past that stage. I know you know, but it DOES eventually end... eventually... :)
Congrats on the sweet new ride. I was not much of a minivan guy either, but I've decided I really like ours (and it's not as nice as yours). Don't knock it 'til you try it, I say! :)
and those are all the reasons why i am NOT having any more kids!
