From the moment we decided to try for our second child I stopped all caffeine, started prenatal vitamins and of course became my true to form self....OCD in overdrive. I was once again completely over the top with worry. I was so over the top that I had my co-worker/very good friend Yvonne Garcia bring her heartbeat monitor (she was also pregnant at the time) and we listened to Emma's heartbeat sitting at my desk at work. Yes, I was completely paranoid. I did the same with Cash...accept with Emma..for some reason I couldn't truly imagine her in our day to day lives. I didn't really believe the day to day until about a month ago....she was already a month old. For both Ben and I having a second seemed very surreal. It even feels strange to say "kids". We just always thought there would be only 1...and now there are 2.

I absolutely loved feeling Emma move and I looked forward to each OB appt. It was just exciting to see the progress made as we anticipated her arrival. Ben spent a lot of time talking to my stomach and I I always wondered what she thought about that deep voice. Today it calms her down ...so I guess I have my answer.
As I got closer to the end of my pregnancy I was tired of being pregnant....everyone kept telling me to enjoy it as it was the last but for some reason I couldn't focus on that in all my misery.:) I felt bigger than I did with Cash but I guess at the end of any pregnancy you feel big. Megan Perkins took some great maternity pictures of which I am using to do a before and after for Emma's room.
