Milestones and after thoughts

I am now officially in my 2nd trimester. 14 weeks today. I have to admit this pregnancy is much easier to deal with than Hannah's.

It wasn't that I didn't feel good in fact both of my pregnancies were pretty much identical except for when the two monkeys showed up. It was the fact that I would look at my baby James and think "how in the world am I going to do this?" I already have one baby what am I going to do with two babies. I don't have any help, I am alone, this was a crazy plan, etc. Now, I don't regret it but I don't necessarily recommend close spacing unless you have people around to help.

This pregnancy is much more enjoyable because I look at my two toddlers and they get it, they are becoming independent, and occasionally they listen. I also had some time in between pregnancy, nursing, gaining weight, losing weight. I learned how to juggle.

I know my whole career as a mom I will be weighing the positives and negatives for each stage we are in, but for now its good to have some space.

We wanted our children about 18 months apart but apparently you can't always plan these things. Who knew?

Congratulations on hitting the second trimester!
