It's been a while since I last posted, lots of things have been going on and it's all been quite overwhelming. Some things I have thought about blogging about but decided against doing so just for privacy reasons. I guess that's what password protected posts are for, it's a shame blogger doesn't give you the option to do that. Anyway, in the end I decided I want to keep my posts as positive as possible so I won't go into nitty gritty details, I mean you never know who is actually reading these posts after all!!!! But at the same time it would be nice to hear some opinions on different things too...
Let's just say there have been (and still are) many frustrating situations, mostly related to S's work conditions, and that being 28 weeks pregnant and looking after two small kids day in day out does not make for an easy ride. Especially when B has turned into an eater from hell, and A has hit the terrible twos. It makes for a frustrated and exhausted Mummy, and as much as I love them both sometimes I just need a break. This break of course never eventuates so you can see the endless cycle of things I'm sure...
Anyway, this pregnancy has just flown by, I can't believe I've hit the third trimester already. The morning sickness lasted for 20 weeks so I guess things just crept up on me, considering it's only been 8 weeks since it stopped. Last week we finally got a ultrasound pic that shows for sure what bubs is. Any guesses? Boy or girl? Weight gain (mine) has been minimal, things are going pretty well in that department so now we just have to get organised and get ready for the jump from 2 to 3 kids!!!
I know people say that going from 1 to 2 kids is a big change, then from 2 to 3 is also, but anything after 3 doesn't change much. Apparently having 3, 4 or even 5 kids is pretty much the same. Personally I didn't feel much change going from 1 to 2 kids, so I'm wondering just what people mean when they say the leap from 2 to 3 kids is big. It's kind of daunting, but at the same time I can't really see there being that much of a difference, well not for at least the first 6 months or so. I hope I'm right...Any thoughts on the matter?
howdy, I was *just* thinking about you today, wondering how u are going (your ears must have started burning, hence the blog post, right? lol). Third tri already? That WAS fast!! Sorry you got some stuff going on - hope things get better/settle down/get less stressful.
返信削除I am gonna guess a little man is on the way.
Take it easy, esp in this heat.
*hugs* i know exactly what you mean!
返信削除i didn't really notice any difference from two to three. a bit with one to two. maybe because they're so close together in age?
i have heard that it gets easier after three, because by then the eldest is usually old enough to help out.
I have felt the big difference actually. Email me anytime, if you need to vent I can even email you my keitai #. Perhaps hearing other kids having tantrums in the background can bring reassurance :)
返信削除I have been waiting to hear how you have been. Good for you on the smooth pregnancy.
Glad to hear your pregnancy is going well this time round, but sorry to hear about all 'the other stuff'. I hope things can be worked out quickly there.
返信削除The hardest part I've found on going from 2 to 3 was when we left the house. So I had 3 under 4 when the baby was born and it was a real juggling act to make sure they all stayed alive ie not running infront of cars, doing the dash at the park and stuff like that. I think if I had of had a pram that sat 2 it would have been much easier. All is well here now just 20 months later (& has been for a while) I think it depends on your kids too.
Glad you're back blogging : )
Thanks for the comments here.
返信削除It means a lot to know that there are people out there thinking of me, and if I need to rant I will let you know!!lol
