besides the crushing fatigue, pregnancy is great
I hate it when people preface a post with "this is just a quick check in" and yet I keep doing exactly that.
If I had any brain function at night it would be easier, but I'm pretty much exhausted at this point every night. Lugging around an extra 20+ pounds each day, combined with sleep deprivation, combined with a 34 lb wiggly needy toddler who likes to be held a lot and has days where he changes personalities every 90 seconds... oh yeah, and working and being a single parent during the week, well, you get the picture.
The pregnancy is going by at lightning speed. I'm at the cusp of 29 weeks, 6 weeks behind where Danny was born, and I'm in some serious denial here. I'm just getting used to being pregnant. I'm not at all ready for an actual live baby and all the adjustments and other stuff that I'll have to figure out once he actually arrives. But this creature in my belly keeps poking me and reminding me that I'm going to have to figure out logistics at some point.

You'll be great! I was busy in denial when pg with the twins this past year. Babies don't need much in the beginning and you'll figure it all out once the baby is here. It will be tough though. I got less done in my second mat leave than the first as there were more children to take care of having an older one and the babies. Good luck!

I'm glad to see your update.
You have most of the baby stuff you need, I suppose. That's one thing of the list.
The rest, well, it will resolve itself somehow?

I was totally in denial too with my second. It was IVF too, so it wasn't like she wasn't both desparately wanted, or expected. I spent the first 2/3 delirously happy I was pregnant, the last third asking my husband to finish painting the baby's room. Then she arrived 4 weeks early and we were totally not ready. All worked out well though, all she needed was us.
