I'm 29 years old now. Big brother Zidane is almost 10! I find myself coming back here to reread my old posts. A lot has happened this year! But I have a very big surprise... we are finally becoming a family of 4 ❤️ I really didn't expect this at all, but like last time... when I started to lose hope in being able to carry another baby, life just throws another baby. I wonder if my baby came back to me or has my baby sent a sibling for us to love 🩵 This time, it's hard for me to stay positive. My last pregnancy (miscarriage) took a toll on me. I developed a drinking habit... I wasn't super bad, but I noticed myself drinking more often than I usually do. I changed my habits and tried to look out for my health. Then I realized I was late and there it was a positive test!

So far, this pregnancy has got me on my toes. I'm so scared to mess this up. For my body to fail my baby again. Here is how my mind went for each ultrasounds so far :

7 weeks ultrasound : "Please show a beating heart..." Beautiful sound to ever hear and see!

10 weeks ultrasound: "Please still show a healthy growing baby and beating heart..." The cutest wiggly baby everrr!! (This scan was the most scariest scan for me because around week 11 of previous pregnancy (4 years ago), we found out our baby stopped growing at 8 weeks and no heartbeat...)

The doctor recommended taking baby asprin. Just for precaution.

(Pending 20-week anatomy scan) I am nervous and a little scared. I'm trying to be positive!

So far, this is how my pregnancy is going. I think I feel little kicks and moving around, but I'm not 100 percent sure. I'm currently 19 weeks and 5 days. I hope we have our Rainbow 🌈 baby. Here we go 🥰

Heart vs. Head vs. Me

I’m writing this because I feel like I am in one of the toughest spots of my life.   As many decisions & choices as I’ve made in my life, none of them have ever weighed so heavily on my heart & on my mind.  I had my son Oliver 13 months ago, with 2 months sober, living in a recovery house.  We very quickly had to find an apartment, and learn how to be parents.  Fortunately for us, we have been able to do that fairly well.  I have 2 years sober, a beautiful son, a beautiful life.  I knew after having my son, that I wanted to have more children, but hadn’t exactly planned it so soon.  About a month ago, I found out I was pregnant again.  I loved being pregnant, I loved growing a little person & feeling him moving around.  The end of it & the birth was insane, but the rest of it was incredible.  If I come back to reality though, we are in no way ready for another child.  COVID is still alive & well, so we haven’t been back to work yet.  We were incredibly fortunate to be getting unemployment, and managing to live off of it. However, that has now ended.  My fiance is looking for work, but I have been struggling with severe separation anxiety so leaving my son doesn’t feel like an option yet.  I also feel like it’s cheating on my son.  If I have another baby he goes on the back burner.  The new baby gets all the attention, all the new stuff.  I have spent so much time reading about having 2 children under 2 & TONS of people say their kids are close, that it was the best thing that happened to them, but it’s different when it’s your family.  I want to think that’s true, but what if it doesn’t go that way?  What if my son doesn’t adapt?  What if he doesn’t enjoy being a big brother already?  Doesn’t he deserve to be the only one for a while? Get all mommy & daddy’s attention?  Be the center of our universe?  But am I keeping him from being close to a sibling? What if he loves it?  They’d be close enough in age to virtually do everything together.  My mind is always on a swivel, going from one side to the other.  I put him to bed & look at him and think there is no way I can do this again right now...and then I feel the cramps & the nausea & think “How can I go through with termination?”  I truly don’t know if I can physically, emotionally & mentally handle going through with an abortion.  I have always been very pro-choice, but now that I have the choice it’s not an easy one to make.  How do I look at my son, and then terminate this pregnancy. I knew when I was pregnant the first time, that I was having him, so why is it so much harder this time?  Financially, we’re not any better or worse off than before.  We’re actually probably BETTER equipped this time, having a house, and more time sober.  I somewhat know how to take care of a baby at this point (I didn’t even know how to change a diaper or hold a baby before)  

I have looked into medical abortions, read women’s experiences, and have tried to get as much information as I can.  I read as much as I can about second pregnancies, raising 2 toddlers, giving birth again.  None of it helps me make a clear decision.  None of it helps my heart & my head match up.  None of it makes me feel like I can either raise another baby or terminate one.  I feel like I won’t be able to get over doing that.  Mentally & emotionally, I worry it will push me over the edge.  I read about women who KNEW it was the right choice, and I commend them on that.  I want to reach that point, one way or the other. I struggle so much with this & I am both angry & ashamed that I put myself in this position.  That I believed I wasn’t capable of getting pregnant again so quickly.  I thought the first pregnancy was a fluke, early sobriety + sex = unplanned pregnancy.  I sure as shit didn’t think it would happen twice in 2 years.  Yet, here I am.  I’ve even made the initial phone call at Planned Parenthood & then completely forgot to call in at the time. (where I live, before an abortion, you’re required to call a number & listen to a Dr. speak about the procedure & whatever else)   Every time I think I’ve made up my mind, I get a sliver of doubt, a push in the other direction.  I know I don’t have much longer to make a decision, which only makes it that much more difficult.  

I know I have spent the entire time rambling, and if anyone’s read this far, I apologize for that.  I’m not sure where to go from here, or how to even make a decision at this point.  The love I feel for my fiance & my son is like nothing else in the world.  It is truly indescribable.  I know I want to expand our family & grow old together.  But am I ready to do the expansion today?  Or I guess 9 months from today...I don’t know.  What do you do when your brain & your heart just won’t agree?  When they both go back & forth constantly and won’t stop racing?  This is truly one of the most difficult points I’ve ever been at in my life, and I spent a decade as a raging addict...I wish I had the answer, but I guess for now I’ll just write about my indecisiveness instead.

Oggi stavamo pranzando... Ridevamo guardando Ginny che si impiastricciava con gli spaghetti al ragú, in uno di quei rari momenti in cui la felicità sa di cose semplicissime come un piatto di pasta, in una domenica in cui uno spiraglio di sole entra dalle finestre. E poi.. Manuel: "amore ma... Il secondo??" "Amore si, c'è del formaggio se vuoi, anche degli affettati mi pare" "no amò, il secondo figlio... Che dici?"

Zuzu is going to have a sibling! It’s a last min decision to make an announcement because I ran out of topic this week 😅 Also, for our other friends who are only children, I didn’t mention your names because your names are too unique to be identified, not because Arun thinks you are annoying. #qaacomic . . #thestruggleisreal #babyalert #sibiling #onlychild #secondbaby #babyannoucement . . . #quarantineart #comics #comic #comicsaboutlife #igcomic #comicart #webcomic #doodle #comicaboutaby #comicaboutparenting #procreate #procreatecomics #procreateillustration #procreateart #illustration #digitalart #asianartist #femalecomicartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgo7VyyrzpH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No words can capture what I’m feeling right now. 39 weeks of pregnancy and 11 hours 30 min in labor and I’m blessed with a second baby girl. I want to thank God for answering my prayers. I want to thank your mom who made me a husband and a better man. I want to thank your sister who made me a father for the first time and let me make mistakes. And I would love to thank you for making me a father for the second time around 07.10.22 | 11:20am Dear baby girl welcome to this crazy world of ours, it’s not going to be easy but it sure has a lot of beautiful amazing things to share and teach you. ❤️❤️❤️ — #blessed #pregnancy #cute #family #cutebaby #newbornphotography #babygirl #baby #babiesofinstagram #babies #dreamboy #secondchild #secondbaby #beautifulbaby #daddy #newborn #dad #birthstory #kids #happybaby #newbornphotographer (at Memorial Regional Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf2T2NvJ4jh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My sister warned me about this moment. Mom found Aminata’s hair bows, got me dressed and prop me up on the sofa marking my ONE Month. How many more months do we have to do this? Ami says it’s just the beginning. #onanisalawe #onemonthold #newborn #secondbaby #faalfamilyadventures #mymomsaphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/CRXiuD1FDPb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tavaly ilyenkor és most✨ Tavaly, amikor azt mondtam, hogy ilyen jó alakom még soha nem volt, ezt meg kell örökíteni!😀 És most, félidőn túl a #secondbaby -vel, ahogy alakul át a testem, tartalékol a nehezebb időkre, oszlatgatja szanaszét a vizet, stb. Nem szoktam bikinis képeket posztolni, de ezt most kimondottan érdekesnek tartom, hogy hogy változik a testem és írni szerettem volna arról is, hogy a kismamákat is mennyire belekényszerítik egy ideál képébe a magazinok. Tessék, itt vagyok én, egészségesen táplálkozom, heti 3x edzem (most is!) plusz mellette jógázom is és mégis kezd felpüffedni a karom meg a combom. Egyelőre nem vizesedem, legalábbis nem érzem, de a képen már látom, hogy mennyire más és egyáltalán nem bánom, mert tudom, hogy ez okkal történik, meg van a helye és nagyon hálás leszek érte a 9. hónap végén! Bazsival is pont ugyan így oszlott el rajtam a víz, narancsbőrös is voltam rendesen, most is kezdek, cserébe annyi 🍼 volt, hogy csónakáztunk benne. (Ennek mondjuk meg volt a maga harca, mire a technikát is elsajátítottuk, hogy minden prímán menjen, de megérte). Aztán meg minden leolvadt és olyan alakom lett, amire fiatal dagi koromban mindig is vágytam és már volt egy gyerekem is. Hihetetlen, hogy mire képes az emberi test, még mindig el tud kápráztatni minden egyes nap!🥰 Nekünk “csak” arra kell figyelni, hogy megadjunk neki minden hasznos tápanyagot, amire szüksége van, mozogjunk rendszeresen, a többit pedig elvégzi ő. És, amit ő végez cserébe a fáradozásainkért, sokkal több munka, mint mozogni egy picit és jól enni jókat.☺️✨ #pregnant #pregnantbody #pregnantbodytransformation #egészség #életmód #egészségeséletmód #egészségestáplálkozás #kismama #előtteutána (helyszín: Balaton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQa7GreBeJU/?utm_medium=tumblr

My stomach has definitely gotten bigger this last week! I can now see our little man moving and my partner felt him for the first time this morning.

I have a midwife app on Wednesday and then rescan on Thursday as he didn't want to change position to check a few things.
