You are all very kind to make me out to be a 'hero' with this second pregnancy. But really, it's something hubby and I decided to do even before Vrisa was born. Being a professional, I didn't want to be out of work too long and hubby and I Are getting on with age ;-) so wanted to have them closer. The first few years will be a little challenging but when they are older, things will get a little smoother ( hopefully!! ). At least that is the thought that keeps me going.
I have had a few days, especially the first 7-12 weeks where I was sitting wondering what I have brought upon myself since I had bleeding and doc asked me to stay off my feet as much as possible and with Vrisa being the little crawler and hyper one, that was totally impossible. Nevertheless, now that it's on the roll, might as well go with the punches as they say.
I had my 12 week scan last week and I still have a bit of the separation that caused the bleeding but the little one is doing fine. I have another doc appt today so we'll see if we can hear heartbeats now. This second pregnancy is really different from the first one. I am more tired, nauseated and cranky than the first one. Perhaps it's because I have time to think about all the stuff happening since I am home. When I was pregnant with Vrisa, I was working and was so busy at work that didn't have time to think about anything really.
Anyway, I have posted Vrisa's first christmas picture and our summer vacation picture on our jan mommy website. Check it out. hope all your little ones are doing well and bringing lots of joy. Reena, I sent you an e-mail at your e-mail add. Write back when you get a moment. Lots of love to you all!

Good to hear about your scan results. Hey.. The more active the better na? About your tiredess, you've much more at hand than during the first preg. Could you hire someone to help out with the chores?

I really think you've taken a great decision, to have babies close together. My Mum keeps saying that once they are (both) around 5 years of age, they start doing things together and bond much better. Also Vrisa'll still be too small to feel J about the attention the little one gets...

My bro is 5 years elder to me and though we are really close, there's a generation gap in our thougths over some issues. And we never had common friends!!

Vrisa'll continue to get naughtier, but you've to get her used to playing on her own now. You will not be able to (shouldnt try either) keep up with her.

When do you plan to get back to work after the second one?

I'm reconciling myself that by the time i think of a second one, i would have worked out an idea for a business and would be ready to quit \";work\"; totally. But it cant be too late either, 'coz like you'd said, i'm not getting any younger!!

love and kisses to Vrisa. Tons of good wishes to you. Please please take good care and put your feet up at every given chance..
