First Trimester Confessions

So I may or may not feel better spreading some of this pregnancy insanity around to friends and family but here goes...

I confess that Avery has watched Elmo's Potty Time nearly 20 times in the past week because I couldn't bare to drag myself off the couch and play with her.

I confess that yesterday I hit a really good sale at Old Navy and bought some maternity clothes even though my regular jeans still fit and when I tried them on at home they were so comfortable I didn't take them off the rest of the night and wore them to my RS meeting.

I confess that today I accidentally ate 8 or 10 packages of fruit snacks because not much else sounded good to eat.

I confess that yesterday Avery fell down a few stairs and I was so near my emotional breaking point I cried longer and harder than she did until finally she was trying to make me feel better by kissing my face.

I confess that I am terrified that I will go to my first appointment this Tuesday and the doctor won't be able to find a heart beat.

I confess that I am terrified altogether of becoming a "new" mom again now that I know how hard it is.

As long as we're in the confessional: Last week I wore my grey maternity pants (at least they are the wide waistband kind, not the over-the-belly kind) because I didn't have any clean pants. Julia will be 12 months in a few weeks. How sad :(

All I can say about being pregnant with a toddler is that somehow you get through it. I don't know how. The fruit snacks were a good idea.

Sarah said it all, I still wear a pair of my maternity pants on a "fat day" because comfort is now more important than looking cute. The sad thing about being a mom of two;one is always being a little neglected for the other.
