Things No One Told Me.

11:46 AM

Can we all secretly agree that we are all secretly apart of some weird mom group and its secretly unwritten to just not tell each other things?

You know the only the things no one tells you when you get pregnant, have a baby, and so on.

Well, to add to the lists of things no one tells you when, I would like to share a few things I have learned with this second pregnancy. Things no one bothered to share with me. Thanks, jerks.

1. After the excitement has warn off (if there was any) you might feel extremely guilty.
- Especially if you go the two under two route. I can't explain the amount of guilt I have felt for bringing another baby into this world when I still have so much to teach my baby girl. And she is my baby girl no one can replace her!

*Also, totally happy we are having a boy because I'm allowed to say openly she's my favorite girl still.
Bad mom?

2. That guilt lasts a long time, if not the whole pregnancy.
- I think mine is starting to subside. Damn you, hormones.

3. That attachment you felt to your first little baby in your belly is pretty much nonexistent.
- I forget I'm pregnant all the time until he kicks me.

4. It is so hard to imagine having enough love for two little people.

5. Remember all that tracking and count downs you did first time around? Haha! Nope.
 -How far along are you? I don't know. I'm due February and I'm lucky enough to remember that.

6. Wait... we have to name this one too?
- We might just let him name himself when he is old enough. For now he will be called second child.

I'm totally kidding, but we have decided to wait to give him his awesome name until we see him for the first time. Hopefully all the drugs I'm on will give me cool name ideas- like Dragon Slayer Moore or Dark Lord Moore. Who knows, anything is possible.

7. There will come a time when you are approaching your third trimester (and too quickly might I add!) and you stop and think to yourself... maybe we should buy this kid some clothes, huh? 

8. You just don't care too much about that what you shouldn't eat while pregnant.
-I double doggy dare you to comment about my large cup of coffee in my hand. Seriously, do it.

But what people DO tell you.. and I'm so thankful people have admitted to the same fears and feelings I have, is that after it is all said and done- you do have enough love for two, that guilt does go away, and you find that attachment. It just takes that one look.

So, for any moms going through this currently or are thinking of having another- I'm right there with you. We can do it! :)
