Weeks 21-24

The husband and I have been busy planning away.  Financially as well as physically. Where will big sister sleep? Currently she sleeps next to her mommy, in her mommy's bed. While I love this now I know soon it will get uncomfortable and disrupt our sleep. But do I transistion her now? Or when it gets uncomfortable? I do not want her to feel displaced at all.

How will we afford that second daycare bill? Man, daycare is expensive and call me particular but you had better have some outstanding credentials to stay with my prize all day every day. No Tom, Dick or Harry is ok for me. I want education and the more of it the better. And I want people, lots of people and children around. The more the merrier (this is from too many crazy news stories probably).

The belly is growing now. You can physically see the baby jumping away in there. Hand here. Foot there. I can even grab the hiney if positioned just right. But this babe is so different from big sister. Calmer. Less rolly poly more kick jab punch. Awake at different times and no hiccups yet. C had them constantly everyday all day (poor thing).

My weight gain has been slower this time, which does not surprise me with the way that C nurses still. My belly seems higher to me, and rounder. I have yet to compare pictures. This is all from memory.

I am finally comfortable telling people I am pregnant. I have hit viability. My baby has a chance to live if born now and that always eases my mind.

Just a few more months until we meet our sweet second child. I still cannot believe I am getting the chance to get another tiny human.
