I’ve written a lot about how this second pregnancy, this new child who will soon be in our lives, is scaring the crap out of me.
I talked about how I worry that Monkey won’t like his little brother. I’ve ranted on about OhMyGod how am I going to look after TWO little people. I’ve expressed my fear of labor.
Don’t get me wrong. I love, love, love this baby. He has been planned and wanted and loved for so long. I cannot wait to hold him in my arms. I cannot wait for my son to be an older brother. I want to say proudly that I’m a mother of two.
So as I pondered how I can get over the trepidation, the anxiety and the crippling self-doubt, I remind myself that I’ve done this before.
I survived a rather traumatizing, out-of-my-hands labor.
I successfully breastfed my son for 18 months.
We managed to transition him to his own bed and room at the same time.
Monkey is healthy, happy and thriving.
So I got this. I can do this.
I have a very good (but flexible) birth plan (give birth, period).
I have an excellent obstetrician whose years of experience is more than my years of living on this earth, who has prepared extensively for the possibility of complications (severe postpartum bleeding due to a lax uterus and a very large baby the first time round – sorry, TMI).
I have a husband who’s had 2+ years of fatherhood under his belt, who I know will support me, who will have my back and who will stand in for me when my toddler needs a parent’s attention.
I have family support close at hand (hi Sis and mother-in-law!).
I know how to breastfeed (let’s hope Scrumplet does too).
I know how to change diapers, wipe a bum, bathe a delicate newborn and just the right way to swaddle him tight (the first time round, I was clueless).
I know I can cope with less sleep.
I know now that my house will not be spotless and that’d be okay.
I know I can definitely squeeze in a hot shower and change into clean clothes every day.
I have come to realize that accepting help is not a weakness, and is in fact, very smart.
I know I have this blog and you, my friends, who I’ve come to know and love, and you’re rooting for me.
So yeah, I’ve got this.
My “I got this!” look. Picture taken in 2007. When I was still skinny.
Any last-minute words of advice? Anyone want to fly to Malaysia and hold the baby while I go pee?

You so got this girl! I can’t wait to meet (virtually) your new arrival!
I can’t wait to meet yours!
My second is now 14 months. I still can’t believe how much easier number 2 is than number 1. When number 2 took his first drag off my boob he nearly choked from all the milk! There was just SO MUCH! Number 2 is a much stronger personality than Number 1, but I’m so much more mellow so his meltdowns don’t pack the punch that they would have with Number 1. We all slept better with Number 2, as well. It’ll be GREAT!
Jennifer Worrell recently wrote…Goldilocks Adds Three Cents to 50 Shades of Gray Commentary
It’s so assuring to know that #2 is easier than #1 – well, I hope so in my case. At least, it should feel like that since I already know what to expect and what to do. At least, that’s my rationale!
Oh you for sure got this. And YES I would love to come to Malaysia and hold that sweet babe.

We will be here cheering you on and encouraging you when you need it. You did it once and can do it again and Monkey can even help out some. You’ll do great.

And thank you for your encouragement, Rach. I’ll probably be on Twitter calling out for help at all hours!
Your list is excellent, Alison. You DO, in fact, have everything thought out and this is a great summary of why this is going to be a wonderful experience in so many ways. The learning curve with the second baby is SO MUCH SMALLER. Sending you love and lots of ~~good labor~~ vibes from the other side of the world. You are going to be absolutely terrific.
Jessica recently wrote…More signs of spring around the farm…

That’s the key thing, that it’s not the scary unknown any more!
Girl I’ve got two toddlers that are one year apart and two teens that are 14 months apart and I can definitely tell u after reading this post, you’ve got this! Better than I did for 4 pregnancies. I’ve got one piece of advise. Never ever be embarrassed to ask for help. Motherhood is hard whether you’ve got four kids or one. Asking for help and getting it will do wonders for ur sanity! Hugs girl. (P.s. I’ve found that labor each time took less time then the kid before. That’s gotta be something to look forward to)
vanita recently wrote…Why Darren’s Blogging Method Doesn’t Work For Me
I’m so hoping labor will be quicker and easier this time, yes!
And thank you for the advice – I was very hesitant to ask for help the first time round, and for the first month, was really messed up because of that. So this time, I’ve already asked for help. Because I know I need it.
I would love to come to Malaysia to help! You really are ahead of the gmae and I am so happy I joined in time to meet your little guy! Can’t wait!
P.S. That first birth sounds a little scary. And the birth plan made me laugh.
AnnMarie recently wrote…Shades of Grey

It’s going to be sooo good b/c you got us, and the way big brother is going to love little brother will absolutely leave you a puddle.
GOOD DAYS AHEAD.. The sweetest.
And, now, I’m going to cry, because I’m remembering how very, very happy I was when I had a house of little bitty boys.
*snif*
Warn me next time, won’t you? About needing a tissue, and not just one but a box??

Oh I just love the idea of itty bitty boys in my house. I told my husband over the weekend that I want him to make sure he takes lots of pictures of me and the boys. Because I never want to forget.
Of course you got this. I would never doubt it, because you’ve done it before, you know it. It’s going to be a piece of cake compared to the first one, you’ll see.
Karin recently wrote…The ‘best’ month in Paradise

LT recently wrote…Random H’s
Would love to have you join us for the baby shower!!
Advice?
1. Don’t feel bad if you don’t make it to the shower some days.
2. No baby ever died from being put down for a few minutes while you attend to his/her big brother. (Actually, that’s advice for your baby. Well, in all truth it’s advice for MY baby, who does not agree at all.)
Good luck!
Jadzia recently wrote…Mommy’s Pteromerhanophobia Outweighs Her Desire to Encourage the Kids: A Scene From the Dinner Table
Thank you for the advice, Jackie!! The shower thing – it’s my daily goal. Meeting it would make me feel like I can do this. I know, it’s silly, but I feel that it would help me push through the day if only I was clean (is my OCD pushing through here?)
And I agree with #2!
I would! I would come hold that precious little bundle for you. And of COURSE you got this! Women are strong! You never know just how strong until you give birth.
I would love to have you here, holding the baby
And you’re right, we’re definitely strong!
First of all: you are still skinny.
I am pretty sure you got this! But still here’s the peptalk:
The child will come out anyway, how ever you feel about it. And when the moment is there, you’ll do great.
I was scared out of my mind when I had to do it a third time, I was seriously panicking. When it was time to deliver: I just did.
Monkey will adore his brother! There will be adjusting, there will be jealousy every now and then, but he will love his brother.
Tip: Buy a baby doll for him, practice dressing, feeding and bathing the baby and tell him about his brother. With my first one, we left a gift in the crib telling our son, that the gift was for him from his baby sister. He adored her for giving him something he really wanted. And never once did he asked me how the baby was able to buy that for him, lol!
Long story short: Yeah, you got this! You will be awesome. xoxo
Mirjam recently wrote…By the river
I don’t know if we’re too late for the baby doll, but we’re definitely getting him a gift from the baby!!
Thank you for the pep talk, Mirjam!
Sounds like you do have this! Despite how many children you have there are always fears of the unknown. I think it just comes with the ‘mom’ territory. I remember thinking ‘Oh my gosh we should have waited’ shortly after having #2. It was just a new routine that we needed to get in. Eventually, things clicked and we all got in our groove. Not sure why, but for whatever reason things were so much easier going from 2 to 3 than they were going from 1 to 2. Good luck to you and your family. Babies are so exciting!
Erin recently wrote…I went on a date with this guy I know
Thank you Erin! I think it’s a matter of finding your rhythm and getting used to the ‘new normal’. I know I’ve got this! *gulp*
You will be BLOWN AWAY by how much you got this. The second time around is so amazing in so many different ways than the first time. You will find yourself soaking it all in a way that I don’t we can when we are first time mothers. Congratulations on getting so close to being there!
thedoseofreality recently wrote…Time Stand Still
I love that perspective – that I can enjoy this process more than the first time because I’m not so scared shitless
Thank you!
You do!!! And you will be so much more relaxed this time around – I know I was. And you’re so right – asking for help is key. Can’t wait to ‘meet’ your little scrumplet. So exciting!
January recently wrote…A Temporary Moment of Panic
I’m looking forward to this because I know I’ll be more relaxed and that I’m not hesitant to ask for help anymore. Thanks January!
My n°2 was easier than n°1. Not just labour-wise (just 6 hours and hello baby) or because she had and easier personality (she doesn’t she is just as fierce as her elder sister) but because I was ‘used’ to taking care of a baby. Everything was not new and scary anymore, so in a way I got to enjoy my youngest more than the eldest, just because I wasn’t so freaked out about everything.
You’ll do very well!
Tinne from Tantrums and Tomatoes recently wrote…Nutella-banana croque Monsieur, its like having Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman giving you backrubs
Tinne, that is a great perspective – being able to enjoy this baby in a way I wasn’t quite able to the first time. I’m looking forward to that!
The way that it came naturally with your first- will come naturally with your second.
My daughter turned 2- five days after my son was born. It’s difficult- not gonna lie girlfriend! You will manage. People wouldnt have 3, 4 ,5 kids (god bless their souls) if they didnt make it through!
YOU GOT THIS!!!

Mama Hear Me Roar recently wrote…Breaking ground
Thanks Mama J. For the record, I think you’re amazing, managing 3. And now wanting a 4th
You’ve TOTALLY got this!
I felt WAY more fear and trepidation the first time around. Since being a mother though, I have learned that motherhood completely defies understanding. It doesn’t SEEM like we should be able to do this. But we do. And usually, we do it pretty well. And so, because of this, I am convinced that I will be able to do this motherhood thing with two too, even though right now, it doesn’t make a lick of sense how it could be possible.

I’ve always understood the saying, “It takes a village.” but after being knocked on my bum with this vertigo, I really get it. Take all of the help offered to you and don’t forget that it is okay to ask for it too. There are lots of people that love you and want this transition to go smoothly for you, your husband, monkey & scrumplet. With a heart as big as yours, I am sure you will pull all off this off with a lot of wonderful memories and some great blog fodder too!! xo

I think the second time is a much more relaxed experience (the third actually has enjoyable moments) since you know more about what you are doing. You totally have this, it will be chaotic and huge, but in an understandable and not scary way. Having help nearby and not being afraid to ask for and enjoy the assistance is HUGE! Good luck!

Katie E recently wrote…Monday Listicles: 10 Authors Whose Work I Will (Almost) Always Read
I’m more worried about how the toddler will react than how I’m going to look after the baby
Been there…haven’t done that though. I’ve just had all the thoughts and fears without the pregnancy. I kind of had to go there when I was contemplating the “lets go for it and see what happens” choice. And just like you, yes, have all the fears and then I think…wait, I turned out to be a much better mom than I thought I would. However, humbly I think it is more of my daughter being far better than I thought she would. Oh well. You’ve got this. And I can relate to the postpartum part as well! Fainting was so not fun, oh and the fact I couldn’t pee. Go figure.
Leah aka FFPMaMMa recently wrote…Healing while Suffering

I am going to be positive about this experience – I know that armed with knowledge, I’m going to be able to enjoy this baby better.
I am sure you are going to rock it, absolutely! But yes, if you need the virtual support you have one heck-of-a community out here ready to lend an ear, a shoulder, etc. whenever we can! And if only i could get out there. I’d love to help hold that baby. :>
