Thoughts at 26 Weeks

26 weeks along. Over half way there. So close...but still so far away. I have decided that being pregnant is not as glamorous the second time around. To my body, I mean. The first time, each change was welcomed and interesting. This time, it is just sort of uncomfortable and...big. I feel much bigger with this baby, which many moms of more than one child say is normal. They say that you're a little bigger with the second one and by the time there is a positive pregnancy test you already want to wear maternity pants. True for me! I already sort of waddle if I'm not careful. I have heartburn. I have lost some of my lung capacity and huff and puff sometimes after a flight of stairs or after carrying Anna. And switching sides while lying in bed is quite a task. So, my body often has the pregnancy blues this time. But this busy little kick boxer of a baby reminds me often with strong pokes and prods that the reward will be great come June (May!).
