It’s been a while! More than 2 years. Life with two kids have
been quite busy and it seriously flew bye. My little one Sara is a tough little
cookie. She doesn’t like to loose to anyone, esp to her older sister. She has
been pretty much attached to me from birth until now and is definitely the harder
child to control. I am now pregnant with my 3rd and I worry about
the jealousy coming.
Emma has been growing up as a really amazing young lady. She
is so smart, kind, and loving. As I see my daughters grow, I just wonder how they
can be so different from me, even my mom agrees. It’s a good different though.
I just want them to grow up to be healthy and happy young ladies that are kind
and genuine. But parenting as they grow older is getting harder. They are more
aware of their surroundings and the things they hear esp from us affect them
very easily.
With that said, I think I changed a lot over the past 2
years esp after my 2nd was born. I also grew more aware of my
surroundings and learned to be more patient. Say less, do less…simplify my
life. I guess people can think I don’t care as much and that’s the truth. I don’t
care as much if it doesn’t involve my family…(also since I don’t have enough
brain capacity to think about everything). Last year was a hard year for me (my
30th) and after going through another rough stage in my life, I
slowly started to learn not to take things too seriously. It only wears me down
and makes me someone that is not pleasant to be around.
Being pregnant with my third seems a bit weird to write down
but it’s happening soon. October 30th. I feel like with this
pregnancy I am emotionally more stable and believe in myself and abilities more
than I ever did. I did gain quite a lot of weight already (30lbs), but I am ready
to work it off after birth. Symptoms wise they are pretty much the same as my
other two pregnancies. I did crave more spicier and tangier foods with this one
but other than that it’s been the same.
Something different is I have been low on Iron/calcium and I get round ligament pain when I walk sometimes.
I got very sick last weekend with a high fever and flu-like symptoms (body
aches, cold sweat, etc.) and I think the low iron contributed to that. I was
feeling pretty tired before I got sick and while recovering, I was like a
walking zombie. After taking the iron pills and trying to get more sleep I
think I am doing much better.
Baby #3, I hope you continue to grow to be a healthy baby.
We cant wait to meet you!
