I am pregnant with my third however my second child was so hard it has taken me seven years to finally be okay with having another baby because it was so traumatic is so many different ways. He is such a cool kids now just like yours but he to hated being a baby. I also seem to enjoy my kids the older they get and I think its important for all moms to hear stories like this so we are not so hard on ourselves when motherhood doesn't go as imagined.

I'm the mother of four, ages 7, 5, 4, and 2. The only one we ever "tried" for was the first. I had an incredibly difficult, life-threatening, post-labor bleeding episode that required a blood transfusion and surgery that first time. I don't know if having my first was the issue or the delivery and loss of blood, but it was so much harder emotionally the first time than it was the following three times. I didn't remember smiling a whole lot, so when I look back the videos and I'm looking like such a proud mama, I'm always shocked. Breastfeeding was hard, I thought, but it wasn't until my third child (who really did have issues herself with being able to nurse) that I came to the realization that it was just my anxiety that was the issue the first time. Eighteen months later, with #2, it was such a comparable breeze. Enjoy #2!Laurenhttp://www.titus2moments.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758069416688834120.post-54913935887053193922012-08-09T21:19:29.777-04:002012-08-09T21:19:29.777-04:00Personality I really afraid to do some extreamly s...Personality I really afraid to do some extreamly sports like this, its impossible to me, and I even afraid to play in park...Black chain strap baghttp://www.cwmalls.com/women-s-leather-evening-bag-with-chain-strap-fashion-crocodile-embossed-clutches-bags-cw277603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758069416688834120.post-55930387017504411682012-07-15T21:20:39.620-04:002012-07-15T21:20:39.620-04:00I enjoy reading your blog.

We have a 6 week old boy and a 4 yo Westie named Theo. We can't wait til they are best friends. <br /><br />I can't say that I've experienced anything more than a little bit of the baby blues, but I'm hoping everything goes well for you this time!Mrs. Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739294220293234377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758069416688834120.post-71219614749032412692012-07-15T08:47:58.680-04:002012-07-15T08:47:58.680-04:00Oh, Tristin!

He cried and cried and wouldn't sleep, and we had 8 weeks of nursing issues (mastitis twice, poor latching, yeast infections) before I could nurse him without pain. He refused both pacifier and bottle. All I wanted my old life back. It was awful, and I didn't understand why all these crazy women were so gung-ho about having babies. Everyone would ask me, "Oh, don't you just love being a mom?" and I would smile and lie and agree. <br /><br />I was also terrified that it would all be the same with Harper. I won't lie and say it was pure sunshine and unicorns, but it wasn't as hard the second time around. There was a lot of crying, she also refused paci and bottle, she didn't like to sleep more than 45 mins at a time, and she wanted to nurse every hour at first. But some things were better: I knew what to expect and wasn't so blown away by the whole newborn thing; nursing went more smoothly, without any pain; and I knew I would somehow survive the baby phase. And, thankfully, Tucker kept me busy enough to stay out of too much of a funk.<br /><br />I have complete faith that you will make it through this with flying colors. Your girls are lucky to have you as their mama. I cannot wait to see pics of Bennett.<br /><br />Love and hugs and prayers,<br /><br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09645012196228485955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758069416688834120.post-15800835710548097662012-07-14T17:03:30.502-04:002012-07-14T17:03:30.502-04:00I love you girl!

I have no doubt, after seeing how thoroughly extraordinary Elliott is, that this new little wonder will be also thoroughly equipped for whatever comes her way. God has spread his lovely umbrella of blessings over us all! As I was thrilled to embrace that "unique lil' ray of sunshine" that shone into our lives 3 yrs ago, this lil' flower that is yet to bloom is gonna leave lasting footprints on nana and papa's heart!

My daughter had the same experience as you. Many trial with every new step. Now my 2, about to be 3 year grandson is the happiest kid every. I'd never believe that he was the baby we knew and loved unconditionally. Your second will most likely be completely different and have you doubting is something wrong. LOL. Enjoy the experience. As you know, they turn into toddlers so fast.<br />Kind hugs, TheresaMy Spinal Cord Stimulator Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999356008665698457noreply@blogger.com
