Yeah I feel almost guilty calling it my first pregnancy to the majority of the world. Obviously its not a conversation i'm going to get into with everyone. My mom keeps forgetting this is my second preg... and a few times she's been telling me something about birth and I'm like "uhh, yeah, I know" and she just stops and is like "oh, yeah, I forgot". She was supportive all through the first pregnancy and adoption, but we both admit it doesnt feel like i've had a child! Is it terrible that I even forget this isn't my first pregnancy? I don't feel like a mom, and she's said she doesn't feel like a grandma yet.
Its also kinda weird to be showing this pregnancy off. I announced it in church at the end of the first trimester and now every week I have people asking how i'm feeling, how the baby is doing, etc. I've never had that! My mom is just going off her rocker waiting until we find out if its a boy/girl before buying "too much" (yeah, she already mailed off 3 boxes of unisex baby stuff), and even my MIL sends "baby kisses" whenver she calls. I'm even still hesitant to talk to my DH about baby stuff (even though he goes to all my appts with me). I don't know why, i just seem to revert back to the "hidden" first pregnancy.
Neways, i'm rambling. Thats so awesome you guys are pregnant though! Congrats!! I'm due at the end of October (4 days from my birthday). I hope you have happy healthy pregnancies!
