Bump

This is my second baby. I’m in my 9th week and already have a baby bump. Honestly didn’t think it will come so soon 🙄 I thought I will hide my bump/pregnancy news from my friends until 13th week but doesn’t look like I can now. Did anyone else too started showing early?

2nd C-section (positive experience)

I had my 2nd csection this morning and I feel so much better than I did with my first one. I felt like I was meant to die during my first one. I lost a lot of blood and looked horrible after.
