Again, DH and I have had the 'chat' about the next one, when its coming, how Faith will react.... this one seemed like a more serious chat. The only issue I really think we have is I'm not sure that I'm ready to go through the whole shebang of pregnancy again yet. And yeah, I guess that is a pretty big issue. We're set up for it, should it happen, we'll have a room for him/her, we've got the money, we've got the time....
Last time, when I fell pregnant with Faith, I wasn't even thinking about the whole giving birth bit, I'm sorry to say I was naive. I was a little ignorant. Because Faith was a surprise (its much nicer than saying not planned or something awful) I didn't have time to think of it. Before I got my head around it, I was already three months pregnant and D day was looming closer and closer!!
With this #2 though, I am thinking of whats at the end. I had Faith naturally, and it took me two weeks to be able to get up by myself because of stitches (Oh the pain of even remembering!) and this time, I wouldn't have the luxury of just lying next to new born, because I'll have a toddler running around wrecking anything her little hands can touch.
Okay, so I suppose my biggest problem is will I be able to cope? I got through Faith's birth and first year okay, I'm guessing I'll be fine.... I'm older and wiser this time, so naturally I'm more worried.
Am I slowly going nuts on account of being around a one-year-old 24/7?
