Pregnancy #2

We started trying for baby number two in June 2014.  We agreed we would wait until Griffin was one and half before we started trying again, and I was the Matron of Honor at my BFF's wedding in June so it was the perfect time.  I was a little nervous because patience is not my virtue, and Griffin was somewhat of a surprise.  

On August 2nd, we were heading to a friend's wedding in Nashville, and it was a day or two early, but I wanted to take a test just in case so I wouldn't feel guilty later about my one or two glasses of wine.  And there it was!

We were super excited and a little nervous, but in the best way!

The day we found out.

36 weeks & 38 weeks

Easter 2015

The day before I went into labor.

This pregnancy went by so much faster than my first.  Chasing a toddler around really made the time fly.  it also made morning/all day sickness infinitely worse because sitting down during the day was rare.  After all of that passed, life went back to normal, and we got super excited.  Truthfully, I love being pregnant, and I miss it already.

I miss my BUMP

One of my favorite cousins is 20 weeks pregnant.  Neither of us have a sister, and we grew up 5 minutes from one another.  We spent everyday together until I had to grow up and start kindergarten :).  She loves to work out and takes her fitness very seriously to say the least.  I saw her a week ago, and she was feeling large, already.  I told her she is experiencing the best part right now!  She definitely has a bump, but it is still small enough to see toes, shave legs, bend over and many other things she has no clue is about to lose the ability to do.  When I was pregnant, I absolutely could not wait for the day when I could finally show off my bump.

 

That last picture was 12 days before Griffin was born.  I remember getting dressed to actually go out in public the first few times after he was born.   My cute bump was gone, and my pre-baby clothes just didn't look the same.  I told my cousin she needs to enjoy this while it lasts.  Even if she doesn't enjoy being pregnant as much as I did,  the reward is well, well, worth it :).
