So far, I have been pretty lucky with this pregnancy (compared to the many crazy awful things that could have happened). It has certainly been more difficult than the first- I have Zara, a house, more responsibility in every way & I was (way) more fit with Z. The exhaustion has been the worst part this time around- I sure do miss having energy. But I am healthy, the baby is healthy and I still go to work and get everything done..eventually :) Twenty weeks does look a lot different this time too- my belly was much smaller before so the discomfort arrived earlier than with Z. It won't last forever though. It will not even last long. I cannot believe I am halfway to that very scary pregnancy finish line. And then my healing journey begins along with mothering two little girls! & breastfeeding. It is all incredibly daunting. Like that first year with Zara, I have no goals beyond taking care of myself and my two girls & surviving those first few months after maternity leave. Wish me luck!
