1st baby
So, I just had a baby, and I literally mean JUST had a baby, Saturday. I really miss being pregnant! lol at least parts of it. I miss having people smile at me in the store, and as much as it drove me nuts, I miss having people randomly come up and touch my belly.
I love my son so much, but I'm almost anxious to get pregnant again. I'm planning on waiting at least 2 years, especially sense I got pregnant so young, but I miss being pregnant. I feel empty, if that makes sense. I miss feeling him kick and move. I miss some of my cute maternity shirts... lol.
I feel like I'm going through the baby blues.
I enjoy having my son, and I can't wait to be able to take him out in public. He's absolutely beautiful... if I do say so myself!
Also, at what age did your lil one start to get on a good schedule and start sleeping through the night? he seems to be doing well, but I've heard 2-4 weeks will be miserable!
Thanks!
Answer
The feeling you feel may be part of the baby blues. However, it is perfectly normal. Being pregnant is a wonderful feeling. Your life is going to be turned upside down for a while, so you may want to get used to being a new mom before you add another baby.
My husband and I decided to try for our second when my son turned 1. Now pregnant again, I am realizing that two will be a ton more work with them both being young. However, it will be worth it. You may want to wait until your son becomes a little more independent. That will also give your body some time to heal since it just went through a lot of stress. Waiting a while will give you time to settle down with your new gift and allow yourself to think of when baby #2 should come.
In answer to your second question, the first month is a bit rough since everyone is settling in. The key to sleeping babies is to make sure that they get their days and nights sorted out. Any room my son was in during the day I would make sure the light was on. As we prepared him for bed in the evening, the lights were gradually dimmed. Being consistent is key as to whatever you decide. We've had this routine since day 1 and my son has always been a great sleeper.
Congratulations! Best of luck to you!

Baby shower for baby number 2?
Q. What is the proper etiquette for a baby shower if you had a baby shower for your first baby. Do you still have one for your second or do you only get one shower?
Im not pregnant with baby number two but a close friend is and me and he sister are unsure if we should throw a shower or not since this is her second child.

Answer
I wouldn't throw your own. But if another family member or friend is offering. Then go for it. I personally,would call it a baby sprinkling rather than a baby shower. Just so people don't feel obligated to bring a ton of gifts. And skip the registry this time. Just let people feel free to bring things if they want to or not. Most people will though.
