On my birthday, my husband and a couple of my closest friends treated me to some RnR. It was a very much needed rest. Moving around has been very difficult as I near my due date, and since our household help left a month ago, I have been doing a lot of house chores, going up and down the stairs, and taking care of Light. It was exhausting but for some strange reason, I have a renewed energy for doing them. I guess it’s part of the nesting phase.
I’m already in my pregnancy nesting phase. It’s a bad timing to be in because we just lost our household help and I can’t barely move. It’s actually taking me a LOT of energy to just do the laundry (with a washing machine!!!). But I’m a planner. Before our help left I was slowly readying our home for Siris. I had all of Light’s old baby/newborn clothes washed. I had the stroller and the best ever purchase–the rocker, cleaned.
Here we go again. 🙂 From the start, this pregnancy was already different from the first one. I had spotting for a few days after I missed my period. It was harder to tell if I was really pregnant or just delayed, partly because we only did the deed once (unlike with our first child). But after a week of being delayed, I finally took the test. It was faint, but it was there. 🙂 Successful second pregnancy trial!
