You didn't get stretch marks with numero uno and you can bet your bottom dollar that you wont with this one either - you have a cute baby bump, lady I'm sure of it :) I'm nervous about baby #2 too, but we'll manage somehow. It's nice to know that they're OUR kids, and there is NO wrong way of doing things. Shorter hair makes it tough though, cause we can't just throw it back in a pony tail like you do with long hair...thank goodness hair grows fast when we take the prenatals :) Good luck with jumping back into the school scene...you're a brave woman and with gabe's help - you can do anything!Heather and Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17471251011610486636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-86998035385417830622009-12-02T01:10:26.760-08:002009-12-02T01:10:26.760-08:00Will all the support you have, you will be FINE wi...Will all the support you have, you will be FINE with two. I have no doubts. <br /><br />I completely agree with what others have said. Going from 0-1 was harder than 1-2, 2-3, or 3-4. While each child is so different, it's all pretty much the same tricks with a few new tricks thrown in. It ain't no thang but a chicken wang.

I'm sure I'm setting them up for some kind of 'you're not the boss of me' blowout in the future, but for now it works so well to have Clyde admonish Will for hitting/throwing food/standing in front of the TV :)Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07080543667088230070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-80188638144938254362009-11-30T19:25:01.608-08:002009-11-30T19:25:01.608-08:00Dude - I ask Preston "what's in mom's...Dude - I ask Preston "what's in mom's tummy?" or <br />"where's the baby?" all the time. His response - "Bad baby". Every time. Awesome. <br /><br />And I never responded to your comment on my pregnancy post. I too feel completely housebound and haven't thought about makeup in who knows how long. I'm prepared for the worst come May. Also - I didn't get Pres home until he was 2 months, so I have no idea what I'm going to do with a newborn this time.

So lon...Christy, Christy, you will be fine honest!! So long as you involve Brigitte she will be fine too! <br />I was really worried about Meredith when I was pregnant with Will & Fflyr as she would get jealous when the dog sat on my knee, how would she cope with 2 babies!! I made sure Meredith helped with everything (if she wanted to), nappy changing, feeding, bathing. I even managed to get all 3 to have an afternoon nap at the same time so I could have a lie down too! If you have trouble nursing, don't beat yourself up about it, I nursed Meredith, but struggled with doing twins, so they went on the bottle after a week - there is no difference in their development or their health, yeah you want to do the best for your baby but don't make everyone else suffer, including yourself. Make sure Brigitte gets some "her" time too, I started a music & movement class with Merry & when possible left Will & Fflyr at home, even now I will go out for tea with Merry (after payday) & then pick the other 2 up from nursery. I'll stop my ranting now - honest you'll be fab!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03066007021578115521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-74243562821064740652009-11-29T12:16:29.295-08:002009-11-29T12:16:29.295-08:00Brigitte is so cute.

I have to agree going from having one to two wasn't as bad as going from none to one. I just had to get in a routine to help me not loose it. It does add a little more stress but it is fun!!!Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335972877714884881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-8978628967216188212009-11-29T09:56:23.024-08:002009-11-29T09:56:23.024-08:00Brigitte is a DOLL!

It sounds like it might be miserable for the first few months after I have this baby!! :(<br /><br />AND I am so jealous of you and your next appointment. This pregnancy has gone by way too fast for me!!! So while you are having a fabulously fun/anxious time at your next appointment getting your U/S; just one day later, I will be starving myself and then chugging down this glucose drink ---- I can only imagine how awful it tastes :(Shawn AND Chelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16017367563330855800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-22578458125166936592009-11-29T07:36:41.969-08:002009-11-29T07:36:41.969-08:00You will be just fine!!! I'd have to say 2 is...You will be just fine!!! I'd have to say 2 is easier than 1 emotionally. Your life changes drastically with your first but when your second comes it's like nothing! The hardest part for me has been that Grace doesn't know how to play by herself so I'm constantly having to go in her play room and find all sorts of things for her to do while I am exhausted. But my little guy is a chunk and wakes up every 2 hours around the clock so maybe you will get lucky and have a good sleeper from the beginning. I hope you do! <br /><br />Anyway, you will do great. It's so fun to have a newborn again and I enjoyed it a lot more this time around! I got so bored when Grace was brand new but now I have a crazy 2 and a half year old to keep things fun and a cute little newborn I can just hold and cuddle with all day. It's the best! Oh and a shower. What is that?Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407484441329495091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6335941737821496491.post-10214230204383983292009-11-29T07:01:06.088-08:002009-11-29T07:01:06.088-08:00Christy- it was harder for me to go from 0-1 child...Christy- it was harder for me to go from 0-1 child rather than 1-2 kiddos. I shower when one of the kids is asleep (since Steve has been gone since July).<br />When Abby was a few weeks old I did a test run to see how the kids would react out shopping at Target. Once I completed that successfully I felt like I could go anywhere as long as the baby was fed first.<br />you have tons of family there to help out too. You can do it! I can't wait to hear the gender of baby number 2!megan&stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687769492245512458noreply@blogger.com
