I had my second child 8 1/2 years after my first son was born. It was totally weird being able to "show off" being pregnant and being able to be proud you are pregnant. I was actually pregnant the year before my second son was born, but had a daughter prematurely (21 weeks), and she didn't survive. That TOTALLY BIT!
When I was pregnant with my son, (first parented child), I was a little hesitant and nervous about everything because of the premature birth. I hated -WITH A BIG HATED - going to get my ultrasounds done because you had to list all your pregnancies, so they would always ask if my first born was happy to be a big brother. That stunk too. I have 3 parented kids, have had a miscarriage, had one premature birth, and the one that was placed. So I totally hated ultrasounds with all of them. Everytime, they inquired about my other kids liking having a new baby. My youngest is 17 years younger than my first, and the tech asked if he was weirded out that his mom was pregnant when he was so old. I was done by then - so I just told her - he doesn't even know and left it at that.
Congratulations and best wishes to you!!!!!
