So this is me at 12 weeks:
On the outside
So it is safe to say I am showing. It may be mostly bloating but pregnancy has given me a rather round tummy and hiding it for the last few weeks has been a mission in itself! I have already dug out some of my summer maternity wear as I love the stretchy waist bands and the dresses are fitting well already. I was nowhere near this big last pregnancy but they do say second time around you grow faster! I am loving having a bump though and can't wait until it gets even more prominent!
I am being asked by plenty of strangers how far gone I am now so I know the bump isn't all in my head. I was 10 weeks + 1 the first time a customer at work asked me when I was due and now I think most people notice that my belly enters the room a little bit before I do. Somehow though I have lost weight since finding out I am pregnant. With Dylan I hardly put anything on though - I think my body took any extra fat and reassigned it to my bump and it is looking like this may happen again.
On the inside
I can get through the days without a nap now and I am so glad the extreme tiredness has gone. I still don't have all my energy but that may be down to a newly mobile toddler just as much as an ever expanding bump. I have been lucky enough to escape any nausea or sickness again so I am pretty much symptom free now! I am hoping it won't be too long until those first little kicks as I find it very unnerving not having anything to reassure me that baby is growing ok.
Dylan has recently learnt to tantrum and I am starting to worry about how I am going to cope with a newborn and an 18 month old but truth is I won't have a choice. I know it will be hard but we have made the decision to have them this close and I am looking forward to the days they can play together and enjoy the same things.
All in all everything is going well and I am really enjoying pregnancy again.
Congratulations! You are showing beautifully - how you managed to keep it under wraps till 12 weeks is beyond me! Enjoy the extra energy of the 2nd trimester. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly a challenge! Just starting to get my energy back which is good with a toddler on the loose!
DeleteAhhh, you're looking really well. Just can't believe how big you are already. But all bump so that's good. X
ReplyDeleteWow you look fab! Glad all is going well so far :-) xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! There must be something in the water... You look fab too! Enjoy your pregnancy, I'm very jealous because we aren't having any more... You will be fine with a newborn and a toddler, you'll just find a way to make it work for you :)
ReplyDeleteThere does seem to be an influx of pregnancies at the moment! Will be lovely seeing everyone going through the same things as me!
DeleteOh I missed your silent Sunday post, congratulations lovely!! Bound to be hard work with such a small age gap but it'll be lovely when they're closer growing up xx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you are showing, and what a lovely neat bump you have!! I'm sure they say you show earlier with any subsequent babies after your first :) You look lovely honey, and congratulations!! xx
ReplyDeleteIt seems so as I was nowhere near this big last time! x
DeleteYou look blooming lovely hun, and you are certainly showing quickly. I am showing but could still be at the stage where it could be podge as you will see from when I publish my bump photo. x
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your pics! I think mine must be mostly bloating but it feels like a hard bump now! x
DeleteCongratulations!!!! A small age gap is great, and if you are lucky Dylan will still have a nap when your baby is here. xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! So many pregnant bloggers! How exciting!!! Just hope it's not catching! x
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do have a lovely bump, I didn't show much with my 3 until I was about 5/6 months And I couldn't wait until I had a Baby bump that actually madee look pregnant. You should be able to feel some flutters soon probably in the next few weeks, they say you feel them earlier with your second
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased for you it only seems like the other day you was telling me that you wanted to have more children. X x
A lovely bump! I showed quicker second time too. Here's to a healthy 6m x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the pregnancy and that's a lovely bump. I have an age gap of 15 months between my younger two and I'm not going to pretend that it's not hard, but I can tell you that it does get easier. It's wonderful seeing how close the two of them are as well as they are so close in age. x
ReplyDeleteWow you look amazing and look at little bubba growing inside you :-) *squeals* its so exciting. I didn't show until I was about 4 months pregnant. Then I just got bigger and bigger from there on in lol. I would love another baby but need to sort a few things out before hand hey ;-) Congrats again my lovely and to the rest of you who are expecting :-) Take care sweetie, Kate (aka Makeshift Mummy from www.facebook.com/MakeshiftMummy) xx
ReplyDeleteHeartily congratulations !! Nice bump and you will have a baby boy! 12 Weeks Pregnant Tests
