Hey Lovelies,
This whole pregnancy I feel like I haven’t spoken much on it. We are nearing the beginning of a new life, and although we’re excited, this momma here is kinda anxious.
Everyone tells me “you already have one it’ll be easy” however I have so many questions, and thoughts. In the beginning when we told LaLa we were having a new addition, she was so ecstatic, and she still is. It seems as if lately she has become way more attached, and clingy, and needy, than usual all the opposite traits of who she is.
It’s gotten to the point where i started doing my own research, and “Child Regression During Pregnancy” is a real thing. From what I read children realize the changes of regular routine, and although I may think that I’ve tried my best to keep up, there has been changes, like how tired and exhausted I am. I’ve been exhausted this entire pregnancy, I take naps during the day, which I haven’t done since I was pregnant with LaLa. So, now I think she’s noticing, and is demanding attention. Don’t let her catch me tryna drift off into a nap… “Mommy can I have some juice, can I have a snack, can we play barbies” Like seriouslyyy. I’m trying to be more conscious and give before asked. I try as much as my exhaustion would allow, but it ain’t easy.. One day at a time.
What are some changes your first born went through when you were pregnant with your 2nd child if any, and any tips for me??
Honey,
You are a fantastic Mom, just breathe, and take one day at a time. It’s the small moments that are important in life. You will be fine. Love you to the moon and back.
Lol Thank youuuu. Yeah ive read articles on regression but i keep kenz in a positive space. We told her to make sure she tells us when she wants more hugs or some one on one time. And she liked the idea of dates with mommy and daddy. We also have a calendar that we use to countdown the baby and vacations and special events which works good. Maybe try that so she can get hype for wats to come
First of alllll!!! Congratulations!!! Yes we definitely had the talks, but I guess we need to continue. I also fear her hating the idea of a new baby because it’s causing all these changes, ughhh. I also read that it usually gets worse when the baby arrives, but eventually gets better. Looking forward to the better days.
Glamma, I really love this advice, and I think it might actually work lol!!!
Hey Gurlahh!!!
Well im currently pregnant with my second. Shhhh lol. But its been really different and difficult as well. I experienced terrible morning sickness the first four months and extremely tired. Kenz has gotten really fresh as well. We have been having talks with her and more one on one time which has shifted her attitude some. So just explain to lil mama that things will be different but they will also be more Ahmazing!
Awww. I love this post. Lala is such a little princess I know she takes alot of patience which you may be short of while carrying around an extra 20 🤦🏽♀️Pounds. My tip is to pretend Lala is the mommy, you be a baby and let her put you to sleep. Hope that helps. Love like cook food 😘😘😘❤️🔑
