It has been much different than my pregnancy with Jonathan, and I feel kind of guilty about that. With JC everything was so new and every little thing just seemed like such a miracle! Now don't get me wrong, I believe that all babies are miracles, but I kind of feel like I have a case of the "been there, done that". And being pregnant with a toddler is.....less than ideal. I can't nap when I want to, I can't sleep in on the weekends, I can't just sit down when I get home from work and not move until bed time.
But, there are a lot of "I can's". I can feel my little girl moving all day long, I can feel my love for her grow more and more every second, I can see my son kiss my belly and say "sissy", I can imagine what her little face will look like, I can believe in myself and in my body. The "I can's" definitely outweigh the "I cant's".

I still can't believe I am putting the last two pictures on here and that I posted them on Facebook! I have always been overweight and never been comfortable with my body. Then, with my lovely son's pregnancy I got stretch marks, like most women I think. I have had a really hard time accepting them as part of me. I lost almost 25 pounds after I had my son (in addition to all the pregnancy weight) and that helped my confidence for sure, but I still hated my stretch marks. This pregnancy however I have become much more....zen....and hippie I guess. My husband says hippie. lol But, I see all these women with beautiful bodies and their stretch marks don't bother me. So, why do mine??? I'm learning to accept them I guess. And I think my bump looks pretty cute right now. Hope ya'll are having a good weekend!!!
With love, Doni
