I've being a bit vacant the last three months. Wonder why? Luke and I are expecting our second child. Due date: 20/2/11. We are so excited and so clucky. And whilst I haven't being as sick as I was with Amaya, I have still been sick - in other ways.
My blood pressure hits lows of 88/70 and it is this that makes me feel particularly ill - especially in the shower and confined spaces. I have no interest in eating or looking at meat. The feelings of cold and heat are extreme polars. And I am so very very tired. I now realise how much easier it was to deal with the tiredness first time round. When I was pregnant with Amaya, I didn't have another child to look after. I could rest when I wanted to rest. Also, the job I had at the time was much less demanding as the job I currently work at five days a week. I'm often in bed, quick on Amaya's tail, at 7.30pm.
Yet this pregnancy is travelling much faster. I have not done any reading of my baby's development. We know the gender. The name has already been decided. Amaya is fully aware that there will be another member of the family. Things are simply not the same second time round, except for one thing ...
I am so excited about meeting the newest member of our little family. With Amaya, I was nervous, anxious and certainly oblivious of what was ahead of me. With this little baby, the feeling is simply one of excitement. It gives me an inner warmth to know that we'll all have someone else to love, protect, and get to know. Aside from the hot summer at 8 months of pregnancy, I couldn't be happier.
