My 17 month old daughter is finally starting to walk! I know kids develop at different rates and all, but I really thought she would have been walking sooner. It's tough too, especially when all the other neighborhood kids have been walking since they were like 12 months old.
She's walking more and more everyday, which is great. People are always telling me "you'll regret it when she starts!". But, I like it. I'm glad I can play outside with her and will soon be able to run around with her.
So, if you're stressing over milestones...don't. They will eventually do what they need to do. They just do it in their own time.

The Sequel
So, here I am, prego again with #2. My first was born on Dec. 9th, and this one is due on Dec. 3rd.
I had to have a c-section with my first one...that's a horror story in itself. Being induced, going all the way through labor, pushing for 2 hours, then ending up having to have a c-section really sucked. So, turns out that this time I don't have much of a choice and I have to have another c-section. I'm ok with it now...I don't have to worry about going through what I did last time. It probably won't hurt nearly as much either, so that should be good. The main reason I'm not happy about it is that after they get the baby out and sew you up, you have to go to recovery for an hour before they bring you back to your room to actually see your baby. It kinda sucks that I won't get the chance to hold him/her right after.
Another good thing is that they schedule them a week before the due date. So, that'll make my kids birthdays about 2 weeks apart, which will be nice.
The first trimester has been going the same as it did with my first. I felt sick for a little, but turns out it was just my prenatal vitamin. So, I started taking that right before bed and I've felt fine since. The only thing that's really hard to deal with is being so tired. It's even more difficult because I have a 17 month old to take care of and I have zero energy. I'll be in my second trimester in a couple weeks, so I'm hoping that will help. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!
Basically my whole family thinks it's going to be a boy. Either way, I don't really care. I have my girl...so I don't really have a preference this time. Although, I do have a little feeling it might be another girl. When I was sick, I was thinking boy. But since I took care of that, I'm thinking it's a girl. I could be wrong...we'll find out at some point in July!
