Now that I am officially in my third trimester of my second pregnancy I am feeling the push to check things off the to do list. The hard part is in order to check things off of the list you need energy. Energy is something that I have been lacking this entire pregnancy. Everything is harder this time around. My doctor likes to tell me that I am pregnant with a toddler so of course things are harder. While he is right I get annoyed at his lack of sympathy. We are slowly checking the to do list off, which is a good feeling. It is just different then the first time around, that is for sure.
Emily is growing up so fast. She is talking a lot these days. She has started to string words together into sentences and has discovered a new favorite word, Mine. It used to be cute when she would name everything as hers "Emmy's milk", "Emmy's bunny" but now it is my or mine. "My sit here" and "My sandy" (a sandy is a sandwich in Emily speak). She is also the energizer bunny stuck on repeat. I wish I could steal some of her energy for myself. As for the constant repetitiveness, I know it is excellent as far as development but the repetition has a way of wearing a pregnant mama down.
Em does say good morning to my belly and gives it kisses. She is one of the sweetest little things. I am trying to soak up every moment where it is the two or three of us. Because in 11 weeks (give or take) we will be a family of four.
