I got pregnant nearly 11 months Pp after my first, and wow was that hard to get used to the first trimester.. Although Nura was “ sleep trained” at 6 months ( not really trained she was a great sleeper from the start but we would rock her to sleep so I assisted her to do it on her own) AND never co slept ( no judgement if you do, but I really cant sleep the same with babies in my bed) when I found out I was pregnant i automatically felt like I had not had enough time with Nura and HOW could i possibly now be enough for 2. I baby-wore Nura day and night, and worked/cleaned/cooked when she napped, after 6 months she was on her own bed for all her naps and at night.... When she would nap I was an entrepreneur & wife fully. She was my safe space and my confident in my pregnancy with Niyah... As I started to get so tired that decided I will cherish the few last months of just us and I would take one of her naps with her.... I got bigger & it got hotter outside so keeping up with a toddler while being 30+ weeks prego became exhausting and I looked forward daily to our naps us 3... Niyah kicking in my belly while Nura’s head or arms wrapped her in my stomach. Today Mostafa is out for the day & I came to put Niyah down, Nura sat next to me yapping & “ whispering “.. my plan was put Niyah down, cater to her for another hour then it was her nap time... but she turned around and felt asleep next to me. I stayed there for 20 min cherishing this moment of us 3 here on earth together napping and reminded me of all the times I napped with her with so much worried of how I would handle 2, how many times I watched her nap and cried, how many time that nap with her healed me... For the mom expecting a second or nervous about baby #2 your heart grows, it doesn’t divide. Everything will workout, it’ll be messy and alot but they will grow up. I wouldn’t trade having them both here, Niyah brings us so much joy & love... In this moment, I’m feeling grateful🥹🤍 One of my core memories with Nura was coming home from the chiro while being in labor to take one last nap with her before Niyah came #girlmom #2under2 #pregnancy
