I wonder if I could get cards made that say june 3rd, finding out, feeling fine, found names, I am___ weeks(fill it in)? That could cut conversations down to a minimum in the grocery store. I know it’s so much fun to ask when people are due, how far along they are, if they’ve found out the sex…blah blah blah. I even find myself asking the questions. If you could count the # of times asked it would be in the hundreds.
I’m on pregnancy #2 and it’s making me realize why there’s no photos of me as a baby (I’m the 5th child). I remember the first pregnancy was all anyone in my family could think about, all I could think about. I’d notify whoever was around me whenever I felt the slightest movement. Now everyone forgets I’m pregnant (even me) and I forgot to notify anyone once I felt the first movement. Things are just different the second time. More exciting and yet more terrifying. You know what a contraction feels like and you know what it feels like to wake up completely disoriented and all sweaty with hard boobies, look at your bundle of “joy” and wonder who’s door step to leave it on. Although you also know what kind of love your in for. Could I possibly love someone else this much?? AGAIN?? I feel like if I love this next baby as much I might just melt into a puddle on the floor.
Anyway, this is my first entry on a blog that I’ve had in my head for a while. There’s many things about being a mommy to discuss and many cute things my son does that need to be documented, because he’s the cutest baby in the world!! I’m sure you’ll all agree…haha. Anyway, lets do some quick introductions and I’ll be on my way.
I’m Leah. I’m 23 years old (soon to be 24…ahh the mid 20’s are looming) and I’m a stay at home mom. I’m pregnant with #2 who’s due June 3rd. Brent is my husband, he’s a foreman for a big construction company…he builds (or tells other people to build) townhouses. Silas is our son. He’s 14 months now but I’m sure when people are reading this he might be older. He was born nov 19th 2005. He’s a jolly little tyke, quite the character.
That’s all. I’ll be on my way now.
PS if you click on the links of my family members you can see their photos.

Best of luck to you with your pregnancy, your motherhood journey, and your blog.
I’m a mom of 4 and can remember back to similar feelings, the progression of which actually blows my mind now. Check out my current status and my life on my blog if you’d like.
I do think the hardest jump kid-wise is the jump from 1 child to 2. It’s about balancing and sharing and focusing your love in two directions. But it is very, very rewarding.
Here’s to the motherhood journey!

Your stories make me laugh. I loved getting cheerio kisses from my son as well. I also stuck them all over my face for him to eat off…he was a biter though, so that game backfired sometimes!

I have two boys, born 1985 and 1989. They are amazing and a daily joy. While I personally have even been pregnant my wife would tell you it’s worth every second.

That was supposed to say “never” not “even.” I’ve never been pregnant. It was late and I was tired.
