2nd, 3rd and more times around this block ...

Any of you mommas that are doing this for the 2nd or 3rd time (or more) ... are you feeling less excited than your first pregnancy?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to add to our family, but I guess it just feels like a big difference from that first pregnancy (making a family) and additional pregnancies (adding to the family).

And part of me feels bad about not being 200% focused on being pregnant, like I was with my first. On the other hand, it's nice not to be on that high end of excitement/fear all the time like I was with my first.

I guess I'm just wondering if you 2nd, 3rd and more timers are feeling the same way ... of it it's just me.

This is going to be DH and I's 2nd child. I am really excited about it cause we were trying, but I will admit I think I was more excited/anxious/nervous about the first. I couldn't wait to find out what I was having with her and as soon as I did I went crazy buying stuff and oh everything had to be new lol. So far with this one we have decided to not find out and I'm actually pretty cool about it and so is DH. And everything we are using as far as stroller, carseat, swing, play pen, bassinet, baby bed is all used. I will def say I am more laid back about it.

"Laid back" is probably the best way to put it.

This is my second and I'm excited but in a laid back kind of way. With my first, I wouldn't eat deli meat or drink caffeine. I have cheated so many times with both of those two things I lost count! lol I'm also not as picky about having new things matching accessories. If the swing and pack n play aren't a combo, well I'm okay with that lol. I'm also more laid back about finding out the gender. With my daughter I was googling about babies daily, now I have a been there done that attitude. Maybe that means the second will be more laid back that the first since I'm not high strung this time around lol

Ha! It's possible. My 2nd certainly seems more easy going than my first. ;)

My 2nd pregnancy FLEW by.

More laid back here, too.

I'm definitely more laid back with this pregnancy than my first. Part of the reason is because I just don't have much time to think about it like I did with my first. My life is a lot busier now than when I was pregnant with my first. This pregnancy is flying by!

We are definately more laid back this time. This will be out third pregnancy. We are waiting to find out this time so that is causing a little more excitement. Honestly I am so busy I sometimes feel like I am not thinking about this pregnancy as much!
