Tag: Obstetrics and gynaecology

Just back from the monthly visit to the OBGYN to check on the status of the new little one (no, I don’t have an in utero name). We both got a clean bill of health and are both growing right on schedule – whew! With all the morning sickness (so not the right thing to call it!), I was a bit nervous that neither of us were healthy. Luckily, the body knows what it’s doing, even if I don’t have a clue…Mother Nature is brilliant that way.

Anyway, I’m now at the 21 week mark and am so excited/terrified that this is half over. As my due date approaches I’m left wondering how the hell will this all work – the whole 2 kids thing, I mean. Yes, yes in theory I know it does and I’ve seen other people do it. Yet I’m not so certain how we will handle it.

Motherhood is such hard work!
