34 weeks. And this is my first time writing down my pregnancy experience this time around.
As many know, it took us about 10 months to get pregnant. I still don’t know what the issue was but God is sovereign and His timing was perfect. I was initially a little worried about the 3 year age gap being too much, but now I’m so excited about it and think it really will be perfect for us. Ever is completely out of the baby phase. She’s potty trained, she can put her own shoes and clothes on, she can communicate her wants and needs. And she is going to be the best little helper and I can’t wait to watch her take on that big sister role.
I’ve always wanted to be a girl mama, and Jesse has always wanted to be a girl dad, so our dreams are literally coming true. He’s the only guy I’ve ever met that doesn’t want a son 🤷🏼♀️
This pregnancy has been pretty identical to Ever’s. Lots of nausea in the first trimester, but always felt better when eating and exercising. I definitely had more heart burn with Ever, but that may be still to come and may be due to my diet which wasn’t so good with her 😬 I had a lot of sciatic pain with Ever, and none this time around but this little lady likes to sit on a nerve in my hip flexor that hurts even worse so.
We talk often about WHO this baby will be, and it’s so crazy that part of who she is is already in her genetic code. With Ever, I knew exactly who she would be. I had this deep sense that she would be sassy and stubborn and silly, and that’s exactly who she is. At first we thought this one would be the calmer sister, but now we both feel like she’s going to be just as sassy and energetic as Ever 😆
The transition from 1 to 2 kids is what I’m most nervous about. I know my instincts will kick in and I’m not going to drown, but it will take some getting used to, and it will take a while to find out rythm. I’m also nervous for how Ever will react. I know she will LOVE being our little helper, but she’s so used to having our undivided attention that I’m nervous for how she’ll react and it hurts my heart a little thinking of how she might feel.
It’s definitely bittersweet knowing these are the last days just the two of us. But I can’t wait for our little girl gang.
