6 Month Update and Baby Gender Announcement

Six months already…this pregnancy is just flying by.  I’m feeling good for the most part but I am mainly really just exhausted.  It’s getting harder to climb those subway stairs in the morning
and to even walk without feeling winded.  The great part is that I feel the baby move all the time now.  I enjoy all the moves and kicks.  It is so funny how I noticed movement so much sooner this time around.  It really is a different experience for this second pregnancy. 

In terms of clothing, this summer is playing a huge role in my pregnancy style this time around.  Last time I was pregnant with Chloe, I was wearing more form fitted dresses.  This time, I can’t even imagine clothing so close to my skin.  I am just so hot all the time and I am really wanting loose fitting and flowing dresses.  I want breathable fabrics that won’t cling to my skin.  Shift dresses have become my new best friend.  They are so comfortable and easy.  I want to pull out the simplest item from my closet these days.

Now for the important part… it’s a girl!!!!  I am so excited to be having another girl.  I actually really wanted another girl.  I wanted Chloé to have a little sister, one she can bond with and take care of.  My older sister is nine years older than me and that age gap plays a big role in our relationship or lack of one for that matter.  I don’t want that for my daughters.  I am going to teach them to care for one another and put each other first.  They have to support one another and be there for each other no matter what.  I look forward to watching them grow together.  I am beyond happy to be having another girl.  I love girls and I also get to teach mine about being there for all other women and being kind and caring to others.  I plan on bringing up two young women who will see what it’s like to support and uplift other women so they will know to do the same.
