Wow, we’ve been in exactly the same boat for the past 3 years - my eldest son is 3, my second son is 20 months after him, and I’m also pregnant and just out of the first trimester with a baby girl! Congratulations and I’m sure you’re just as excited (and shocked!) as I am to welcome a girl into the family

Congratulations, so exciting! I have word-for-word the same experience with morning sickness and funnily enough it comes on worse at night. I have one toddler boy right now, and after three miscarriages in the row, we are expecting a our rainbow baby girl this summer!

We hope to have a big family too but I did not think about how in a future (God willing) pregnancy the eldest would no longer nap... oof. Good thing to plan for and think about. Thank you for sharing your experience. Wishing you a safe and healthy rest of your pregnancy and birth!

So exciting! What wonderful news! I was also wondering where you were, but assumed maybe you were working on another project for a while. Enjoy the second trimester honeymoon! :D

Congratulations! I've been wondering when we would hear from you again. I wondered whether you were in the throes of pregnancy, or just super busy. So glad it's the former. 😊

Congratulations!!! I am due with twins, our babies #3 and #4, in just 2 weeks and we have a similar age gap to our second (23 months). It's going to be a crazy few years ahead of us and I am excited!

It is so difficult what God puts our women through. God bless you for surviving through this ordeal, you are a beacon of strength. Colin Kaepernick should've been kneeling to YOU on that field. Suck it, Ben & Jerry!

Congratulations! I was hoping your silence was good news, thank God!

I hope this can help with your fatigue. I feel like a child who discovered a new candy that I have to share with everyone!

I'm on my third pregnancy too, and I also struggle with strong fatigue. Mainly in the first trimester, but it never goes away. In my first trimester I needed a nap daily too, now (I'm 28 weeks) I need a nap 3-4 times a week.

During this pregnancy, my husband strongly encouraged me to go back to the gym. I did not want to go. I thought he was crazy, I couldn't imagine going to the gym when I am already so tired that I sometimes pass out on the couch while playing with my kids at 4pm.

However, he was right.

I started going back to the gym, 3 days a week. I walk a mile there, and a mile back, and while there I do an hour-long workout with machines. It's nothing crazy, I never feel sore the next day. But my fatigue is mostly gone! My mood and sleep are better too.

it's been such a blessing to me, I hope it'll serve you too!

It’s beautiful to expand the family and to bring new life into the world. Thank you for always being an example of what is most important in life, motherhood in all its forms being the foremost for women.

Congratulations, Abby! That's so exciting! We also had a girl after two little boys (plus another girl after that), and I can tell you it is so much fun! Praying for a healthy pregnancy and delivery for you!
