Hey quinny. Just thinkin' about you and wondering how everything is going. You're in the second tri already, right? Feeling any movement yet or is it still too early?

Hi! I was just about you too! K and I were folding clothes, reminiscing about when we first met and (blah, blah) we were talking about my cat Henry, who we had to put down just before N was born. He had congestive heart failure and I was an absolute mess. I talked about it for weeks on the Bump. In hindsight, I think I sounded crazy But my god. He was the best animal I ever met. I still miss him. Which got me thinking about you. How are you doing? I am so, so sorry. Losing a pet, especially a special pet, it excruciating.

I'm good! Thanks for asking. It's still kind of surreal. With N, we tried for 2 years and I was high risk so I had u/s every other week and I felt him kicking really, really early (15 weeks) This time, I'm not high risk (so no u/s) and I have a toddler to chase after so I can't pay as much attention to it. It still doesn't seem real. Though, I'm 'huge'. Oye! I swear I'm the size I was with N at 20-25 weeks. Strangers are already congratulating me and I'm 16 weeks tomorrow! I'm going to be a barge! I'm feeling a little movement, here and there. Nothing much. I have my anatomy scan on the 27th. I hope everything settles and it feels more real then. I'm strangely nervous for it. I don't remember being this nervous for N's.

Aw, thanks. I'm doing okay. Sad, but I know I made the right decision for him in the end.

I'm glad things are going well with you! I've heard that things start popping out a lot faster with the second, and I'm sure that even though it's nice to have the reassurance of an u/s (we had a few extra with our son for various reasons), I'll bet it's even more reassuring not to be considered high risk this time around. Your anatomy scan is the day after my birthday! I think that's what made it feel more real for us, too.
