Yes, I do! I think it's about time I start writing about my second baby, on the way!! I have started my 5th month of pregnancy with a due date of September 28th, give or take.
My check ups have been going great, and the Down's syndrome scan last month came back negative. I have started to feel slight movement since yesterday morning, but I am not sure. If they become stronger in the next couple of weeks, then Apr 26th will be the day when it started :).
On my end, my morning sicknesses and indigestion were stronger this time compared to the first; but thankfully, disappeared in the 4th month. I am able to go without food for a little longer than last month, when I was constantly feeling hungry or cranky!
The only worrying aspect is the alarming rate at which I am putting on weight. It's now a 6 kg total add on at the end of the 4th month! Unfortunately, neither is my starting weight as low as with Kav (when I was a measly 50 kg), nor am I exercising as I used to. Hoping for a negligible weight gain this month (check up next weekend).
I've told Kav about the baby. He has been sweet at times, and his usual aggressive at times (when he wanted to hit the baby, and hence my tummy!). He comes and says hi all on his own, and that is just sooo cute.
I've not had time to sit and introspect about the baby or the changes it will bring to our lives. I think a combination of the fact that I am working now, as well as the house construction, plus of course, my little dynamo at home, are keeping away any kind of meaningful thought from entering my mind!! Just as well, since time is just flying by.

Time flies brings me to.. Kav turned 3 on the 15th. He was super excited this time; right from the cake, to inviting his friends, to playing in the bouncy castle, and the gifts. Oh, the gifts. He just couldn't take the tension of what was inside. He blew out the candle on his own, and that made me realize how much he has grown up in the past year. He talks non-stop, in complete complex sentences, remembers every single detail (like how his aunt pinched him some 20 days back!) and surprises us constantly with the things he does and says (like mimicking his dad's 'Lets go' or telling people that he is studying pre-KG!). I only wish he tones down his aggression; cause I am tired of punishing him, and they have stopped having the desired effect anyways!
