Last Saturday I was laying in bed with my hand on my tummy and I felt a kick! It was the first one that I knew for sure was the baby kicking. I have felt many more light kicks since then. Feeling those first kicks is just as amazing the second time around. What is weird to me is that I am so used to Jessica being the baby in my life that it is hard to believe there is another person who is not Jessica growing inside me.
One week from today and we can start calling baby a he or she hopefully! That baby better start getting into a good position to be able to tell now.
I must say I am a lot more nervous about this baby coming then I was about Jessica's arrival. I guess it is because I know how hard it was with Jessica and the thought of doing that again with a toddler also scares me to death!! Also this time Jake will be at work all day (aside from whatever time off he takes in the beginning). He was around most of the days when Jessica was little and was very helpful. Now once he goes back to work I will really be on my own. Jessica was around 6 months old before I was really on my own the first time. I am glad we have friends here who also have small babies so we can all support one another because we are all going to need it!
