Time. During the last pregnancy, we were very busy with some major projects that ate up most of our time. However, we actually HAD the time to tackle the projects. Now Max eats up most of our time and IS our main project. Sort of. With another one on the way, getting ready for her is a project as well. Happily, I must add. I’m not complaining. Just reporting the facts.
During the last pregnancy I had time for things like exercise. This time around it is so different. I’m definitely not exercising as much. I’m exercising enough for the health of me and the baby. But my concern is getting my body back after TWO PREGNANCIES BACK TO BACK. Seriously. I’m going to LIVE at the gym after I have this baby. So if you’re looking for me, try there first.
During the last pregnancy, if I had errands to run or groceries to buy, I just walked out the door. Now, there is a lot of planning: One, where will I pee when I have to go because this baby in my belly is putting on the pressure and when I have to go I HAVE TO GO NOW!
Second, how much food do I need to pack for Max and I? How many diaper changes? How many toys? Can I get everything done and be back in time for his nap?
By the time I’ve figured out the answer to all these questions it’s too late, I’ve missed the window and now I need to change his diaper, feed him lunch and get him down for a nap. So I don’t go anywhere. Or seem to get anything accomplished.
During the last pregnancy, I wrote here on my blog almost everyday. Now, I’ve been working on getting just this one post published for about a week. I’m still taking lots of photos and videos, but actually getting them posted here, is not so easy.
I have, however, found time to eat ice cream every day. Look, I said I don’t have much TIME, but I still have my priorities straight!
