This has been a totally different pregnancy than my first. I’m more confident in some ways, more apprehensive in others. There is power in having done this before and there is also bliss in knowing nothing, too. I am having serious body image insecurities this time around and I also physically feel much, much older. I haven’t been able to be as active as I wish for various health reasons and that has definitely affected my mental health (and I just feel more sedentary and weak, which I don’t love). At the same time I have not had nearly as much time to “rest” with a two year old to chase around! Originally it felt like this pregnancy was flying by faster than my first with all the good toddler distractions and now I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever 😅 One thing that has been getting me through the hard days is knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel- I couldn’t imagine that with my first but I know it now and it’s bringing me a bit of peace. 📸 by @fineandfleurie (thank you for the beautiful photos!!!)
