First of all, I want to start by saying that I'm sorry, Baby #2, for being referred to as Baby #2 indefinitely. We won't love you any less, and I think you'll live through the "shame" of being the second child, but it's okay. Second of all, we are NOT pregnant, nor are we trying to get pregnant yet, but I might as well mention that it's going to happen soon. The trying part, anyway, maybe not getting pregnant because, who knows? Anyway, I got my period for the first time since I stopped taking the pill. It's only a day late, so it's encouraging to know that the old lady plumbing is still in working order! I started taking prenatal vitamins again, around the same time I stopped taking the pill and the prep has begun.
Personally, I'm kind of nervous. Pregnancy, last time, was not a pleasant experience. All in all, it really wasn't that bad. The beginning was rough and the end was hard (the middle was fairly pleasant, I suppose, at least), and just after Julie was born was probably the scariest time of my life. I was so nervous and still didn't feel like myself for quite awhile. But we managed, I managed, and here we are. Then there's always the blood pressure issue and the chance of preeclampsia reoccurring. AND we're just getting the hang of Julie, why throw another one in the mix? But I have been seeing all these siblings, and though it would be a big adjustment, I know Julie would benefit from it in the end. I can't imagine loving another thing the way I love her, but I know I can, and will if God is willing to allow it.
Generally speaking, I'm scared and nervous to do it again. But they say every pregnancy is different, but as long as Baby #2 (sorry!) is healthy, I guess I can do it! Don't expect any BIG NEWS for a bit, but just know and we're getting ready to get ready ;)
