Being pregnant the second time around is a different kind of journey. It’s not just about growing a baby — it’s about growing while already carrying so much. A toddler on your hip, a million snacks in your bag, and a heart that’s already split between one little love and another on the way.

This time, there are fewer quiet moments. Naps are a luxury. Rest is interrupted by little feet running, little voices calling, and a never-ending list of things to do. Some days I feel like I’m giving from an empty cup — stretched thin, emotional, and wondering how I’ll manage two.

But then, I feel the tiny kicks from the baby I haven’t met yet… and see the joy in my toddler’s eyes when they talk about their new sibling. And just like that, I know it’s worth it.

It’s messy and exhausting, but it’s magic. Because love multiplies. And so will the hugs, the laughter, the memories. One day, I’ll look back and realize this was the beautiful beginning of something even bigger than I could imagine.

So here I am — growing two humans and learning to give myself grace along the way.

Because it’s not easy… but it’s so worth it. 💛
