Found out recently we're expecting DC#2 (we already have a DD aged 18 months). So far it's all a bit different. We're excited, but it's an excitement filled with memories of labour pains, sleep deprivation, colic and bleeding nipples; rather than daydreams of newborn snuggles and cute outfits. Pregnancy is already harder going with a toddler to run around after all day (when I'm not working) so no lovely midday naps or lay-ins, and she still feels like waking most nights (seemingly just for the hell of it) just to add to the exhaustion. Am already panicking about how I will actually cope with a newborn and a toddler. Even family seem less excited this time around. We've only told close family so far, and FIL reverted the conversation back to electrical switches within a minute of us telling them they were going to be grandparents again yesterday. It's just not quite the same as first time around is it?

It's all a bit different second time around isn't it?
