Scared

After Noah the thought about how I would make it through another pregnancy was always in the back of my mind. I knew we would "brave it", make it through, but I figured I would have time to prepare and plan before it actually happened. When I got pregnant on the first shot that kind of threw any planning out the window. But life's not about planning now is it?
So far I am faring well. I feel o.k. physically and my only complaints are exhaustion this week. Mentally I cycle between feeling elated to feeling petrified and then there is every other emotion in between. There are also the "normal" run of the mill- " how on earth am I going to juggle being a working mom of two"!
I have changed doctors this time around and they do things a bit differently then my previous obgyn. With Noah I had many ultrasounds starting at 6 weeks. Even though I am essentially considered "high risk" I will not have an U/S until I believe 10 weeks. I think the more in depth appointments and testing will come later to look at the cord and placenta since they were possibly linked to Noah's injury. So anyhow, waiting 6 more weeks to see this baby is driving me crazy, I am paranoid that it's not growing or somethings wrong but I am not dwelling on it and enjoying my day to day- of course Noah helps to keep me busy and keep my mind off of this!
So in short, I am scared shit but I am also extremely excited. I am taking it one day at a time. Today I am pregnant, Today I love my baby. Today is going to be o.k.

Sounds like you're doing great! I can completely understand the range of emotions... you really do sound optimistic and excited, though. Yay! :o)

I know just how you feel!!!
As a working mom of two, I can tell you with certainty, you will be fine. After going through such hell with Max, Sabrina seemed like a piece of cake. And juggling two kids isn't that much more crazy than juggling one. It was so much more of an adjustment to go from zero to one than one to two.
