2. I get really really sad when I realize breakfast is about to be over.
3. Sitting in an office chair for a good 2/3 of my waking day was something I did not appreciate enough last time.
4. I have no idea how far along I am on any given day. With the Squirt I could have told you how many minutes until D-Day. With #2 I find myself saying, "I'm in my third trimester. No wait, second. Yeah, second. ....nope actually third was right. Well I think I'm almost done."
5. Because of #2 I've invoked a hobbit diet: breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, tea, dinner and supper.
6. Having a nursery ready has not been at the top of my priority list.
7. Having babysitters ready and finding a local Mom's Morning Out group have been.
8. I don't know if my unborn child is the size of a kumquat, a watermelon or a rutabaga. See #4.
9. I looked like I was 20 weeks pregnant around week 8. Not fun. Now at week 28 (I looked it up) I finally look like I'm only 28 weeks pregnant.
10. I adore my OB/GYN. I will sing his praises to anyone who'll listen. Need a recommendation? See me.
11. I have not taken any birthing classes or dragged my spouse to any breastfeeding classes. I know now that what comes after you leave the hospital is far far FAR more difficult than what happens in the hospital.
12. I don't wonder if I'll ever love this new baby as much as I love the Squirt. I'm the second born in my family and therefore quite self-assured that I am loved as much (if not more) than my older sister.
13. I still drink coffee everyday, but this time around it's more a matter of principle than taste. It gives me heartburn and sometimes I really have to force that second cup down. Don't judge.
14. I go to bed at 9pm. My poor husband.
15. It is still magical every time she kicks.
16. I still make B Daddy put his hand on my belly every day and ask him if he's prayed for our baby girl.
17. I still get chills at the thought of holding this baby.
18. It is still a total miracle.
