14 weeks belly bump

I sometimes can't believe I'm pregnant again.  It seems surreal.  I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.  This pregnancy has been different in SO many ways.  Morning sickness, headaches, less acne, no food cravings (yet), insomnia, and bigger belly.  Of course, the bigger size thing is expected on #2.  My doctor told me that with your 2nd child, you usually show about 1 month larger than you did with your first.  Great.  Let's just hope the weight gain isn't larger, too!

Here's the belly, at around 14 weeks:

(last pregnancy, 1 week earlier)

I really don't think there's too much of a HUGE difference.  I do feel a bit bigger.  Good news is I already have gained less weight than I had with Bianca.  Of course, now that I've stopped vomiting, it will probably start sticking a bit more.  Although this time I've got a little one at home to chase after!  Last time, I think I just was able to lay around more and relax when I felt fatigued or sick.  This is a whole new ballgame.  Bianca just looks at me like, "Um... get up Momma!"  There's no laying around.  It's exhausting to say the least.  

Many of my friends who are mommas to >1 say that having the 2nd baby is more adjustment than having the first.  They say with the first it's 100% dedication to figuring out what to do and how to do it.  With the second, it's different because you must split your time and figure out how to please/do schedules for two kiddos.  But then again.... my dear friend, Kinze, says, "After you have 2 kids, you might as well have 4 or 5.  You have figured out how to deal with multiple children and they have each other to entertain."  Well, I don't think 4 or 5 is in my picture.  Right now, 2 sounds like enough!

Jules - it's hard for you cause you are 4 feet, 11 inches. Sorry girl, you're probably gonna be big! But that's so cute! Just don't tip over.

Kinze - nobody handles multiple children as good as you. 3 under 3 at one time... really!? you deserve a medal.
