The neglected second child



I'm pregnant again.  22 weeks along, in fact.  However, you certainly wouldn't know it from the posts on this blog.  I was such an avid blogger when I was pregnant with Lily and now life seems so busy that I barely have a moment to consider how this pregnancy feels, never mind write those thoughts down.

I remember little about being pregnant with Lily and am happy that I have this blog to refer back to.  I've been feeling pretty good throughout this pregnancy although I have unfortunately developed the same condition that I had with Lily (SPD or Pelvic Girdle Pain - although at a much earlier stage than last time), which has really limited my ability to exercise.


Prior to developing SPD, I had already given up downhill mountain biking for the season - I'm more comfortable on my bike than anywhere else but couldn't get over the "what if?" of falling and hitting my belly.  Scott has continued to ride and I'm (mostly) happy to hang out at the hill with Lily while our friends are out riding. Luckily, it's been a great summer for camping and visiting with family/friends...

























And as grateful as I am to be blessed with another pregnancy, it's still hard to give up beer in the summer (especially all the fabulous beer that we bought when we were in Montana!)...
