She’s still so little…
With all the talk about how easy the second trimester is, I expected it to be smooth sailing. Last time I didn’t have a one-year-old and I was relieved to be free from nausea. I enjoyed these middle weeks to the fullest. I was also smaller last time.
Now I’m feeling a little apprehensive as I realize at 20 weeks I’m feeling the achiness and back pain after being on my feet for several hours. I’m also getting increasingly tired.
And I have 20 weeks to go? I guess I better settle in for the long haul, because this baby has a lot of growing to do yet… 
We have three little dresses for Tabitha… two we bought, and one from a friend. I hung them in Christian’s closet and it’s so strange to see pink and purple amidst all the blue and green. But so exciting.

I sure hope the Lord blesses us with a little girl sometime, I mean, I just had a baby not but 6 weeks ago… so, not yet, but I do hope He does. I want all the pink cuteness that comes with it!!
So exciting for you!
I’m sorry you’re feeling sore! 
Hopefully it’s just a fluke and you’re back will feel better soon. How fun to buy your little girl some dresses though! It must be pretty exciting!
That should have been “your” . . . I tell ya, I think the new mom brain is WAY worse than pregnancy brain sometimes . . .
Hope you’re ready to be bombarded with all things pink! Of course I’m rather partial to the color myself =D Have you gotten any cute little shoes yet? I’m a sucker for baby shoes. They’re just so tiny!
I want to see pictures!
Aww … the word picture of those pink and purple little-girl dresses in the midst of Christian’s little-boy outfits … it’s adorable! Having “all little sisters” in my family (not brothers or older sisters!), I can’t help thinking baby girls and little sisters are wonderful. So happy for you and your family …
I had a similar experience in this pregnancy, too – it was very different than with my son. The second trimester was the hardest (but I had a strangely sick-free, energy-filled first trimester). Also, I found the back pain came on earlier, but it didn’t last too long – it seems to come and go with growth spurts. Hopefully that will be the case for you, too.
Having a girl after having a boy first is just this amazing, amazing thing. Not that I don’t just adore my boy, because I do, but there is a dynamic with having a “baby” girl that is just precious. The cute bows and dresses definitely don’t hurt…
