Why is it when I see a couple that are obviously pregnant with their first child my first thought is, “Enjoy that while you can.” As much as we’d like to think having a child doesn’t change the relationship or even the places you might go. it does. When we were expecting our first it was all about us, more so myself really. If I was tired I napped if I wanted to go for a walk down to the local cafe and people watch I would. During the weekends we would make a trip to the nearest Babies R Us where we might spend hours trying to decide what car seat stroller combo would be right for our little bean. Afterwards we would discuss our purchases over a long lunch of mexican food followed by heartburn and gas. Ah the good life. 

A totally different experience with our second. If I was tired I would lay on the floor with my son and watch sesame street with my eyes shut to keep the nausea at bay. Weekends and most places we would go are kid friendly so I have seen my fair share of parks, potties, and pizza. We would be lucky to have a long lunch with my son as he would start wiggling almost as soon as we would sit down.  Having our second also changed are little man. He was no longer the only little person with needs. I couldn’t always entertain him with what he might want to do because I was busy with his sister. It was no longer just the three of us. His only childhood was gone and now he was a sibling. I remember at the end of my pregnancy driving home from possibly my last doctors visit and feeling so sad about that. Almost like I was stealing something away from him. (Insert crying pregnant ugly face image here)  I guess what I am trying to say is enjoy “it” while you can. Whatever your it may be. Because everything is temporary and nothing stays the same.
