Well all the family members we give two-shakes about know we are expecting a second little miracle. They each seem genuinely happy for us, which is a relief. I will tell my friends on Wednesday once I have my ultrasound and a little more information and then we are taking pictures for an announcement next weekend for those spread far and wide, that'll pretty much be it. I haven't put it on Facebook and don't know if/when I will. My first pregnancy was all over social media but I'm definitely a different person than I was five years ago... Man, has it really been that long?? Gees...
As for me, I still feel icky. Being pregnant again has definitely given me a complex. Being sleepy and nauseated all the time makes me feel like a bad mommy and wife. I take my son to his usual summer activities (reading time at the library once a week, free movie day at the theater each week, a trip or two to our local amusement park each month since we have passes) but that's all I can really manage at this point. He's so active and smart but I can't run and play like I was and I feel like Mommy is always asking to rest her eyes. Plus, my husband is feeling amorous (hard to believe after all his exertions last cycle...) but I feel tired and the opposite of sexy by the time I fall into bed. In that regard, I got really amorous farther along in my first pregnancy so he may want to be careful what he asks for... but my son starts pre-kindergarten in August and I was really trying to make this last month fun and special for us together (I've always been a stay-at-home mom). We'll never have this time back again... *Sigh* Just feeling tired, nauseated and bummed today I guess...

 | Comment from Lolo1176 » Posted Jul. 14, 2015 6:52pm We don't plan to tell anyone in the family until after the 1st u/s. And even then it will be only our parents, for starters. After that I have no idea...lol. But I couldn't help but tell my 2 best friends. One of them is pregnant with her 2nd and due in Oct and she actually called not long after I got my 1st HCG level back...lol. The other has been trying for nearly as long as I have and I knew she would be thrilled and she was. :) I'm sorry you are feeling icky. Today I am at my 5 week mark and surprisingly I feel pretty good, but I know that will change. And as for your son, you will find a way to make it up to him. And when you give him a sibling he will be over the moon anyways. Hang in there! |
