Tendency For Pregnancy

Grappling with parenthood over the years. Battling and facing my responsibility fears. Celebrations and failures leading to tears. Many moving parts like out of sync gears. But the universe said that we get a take two. Another chance to build family with baby new. After a few weeks of trying to make this life. Amazing what a husband can do with his wife. Guess who stepped up right into this room? A positive prego test result in a big kaboom. Inside the belly is kid #2 plus maybe #3. In the ultrasound we will soon get to see. Our great son will finally get to be a brother. With a sibling so they can love one another. To grow and learn together and bring us joy. Joining the family as a playmate for our boy. In the days since I wrote the previous lines. We’ve checked out the kiddo several times. Hearing the heartbeat and seeing them grow. With each phase human features better show. First looking like a shrimp and then a seaturtle. Now doing womb workouts or jumping hurdle. Taking mommy’s energy, really wiping her out. Can often get so frustrating it makes us shout. But we’re looking at the long game and ready. Knowing it’s ok our emotions will not be steady. There will be fights and some arguments too. Because we want the best for our child # two.
