Description - you're pregnant with your second child
Having a second kid was more challenging than you thought, and you hadn't even given birth to them yet.
Two years after giving birth to Sebastian you decided it was time for another one. All Harry had wanted were two children, just like him and Gemma. You hadn't found out the gender of your second child yet and Harry was so anxious about it. You knew having a girl, to be a younger sister to Seb, would mean everything to Harry - but you couldn't guarantee anything.
You were the youngest of five siblings - whom were all boys - so you were sincerely hoping that wouldn't influence the chances of you not having a girl.
Sebastian was growing up so fast and you hated it, but also loved it more than anything. You had been pregnant for just over 4 months now, after deciding to get pregnant again about 6 months ago. Seb would constantly ask when his sibling was "moving in" and he loved talking to your belly, which made you so excited for Seb to have someone else.
Seb even said he was looking forward to dressing up their sibling in all his princess dresses. Harry had bought Seb a collection of Disney princess dresses after admiring them on the TV. He would wear them out to the shops with you or even to bed sometimes.
One time, a man had shouted that Seb was "gay" for wearing dresses which ended up in a massive argument between him and Harry. Harry took no-ones shit when it came to his Seb.
Being pregnant came with its downsides though. Your mood swings were worse, this time around, and you hated it. You'd lose your temper with Harry more often and you'd even shouted at Seb once. The cravings you had were even weirder this time. Cheesy Wotsits dipped in strawberry yoghurt - who would've though it would taste so good. You despised the whole getting fat thing, too.
You had gone for your ultrasound scan last week, but had asked the doctor to only tell Gemma the results - since you wanted a gender reveal party. Harry had been really on edge the whole time, just wanting to take a quick glance to find out the gender, but you promised each other that you'd wait until the party. Which was today.
After minimal hours sleep, thanks to baby no.2, you woke up late to get ready for the small gathering today. Gemma had organised the whole thing, since she was the only one who knew of the gender. Waking up at 10am only gave you an hour to get ready before the party started. You were currently staying over at Annes house, because the party was being held here, but also because Harry was working on some renovations on your house.
He wanted to re-do Seb's old nursery and turn it into a proper bedroom for him, and then would turn the study, which no-one currently used, into a new nursery. Harry didn't want you, or Seb, to be in the house when all the work was going on, because of the paint fumes and wood chipping everywhere. So Anne had kindly offered you a place to lay camp for a week or two.
Making the effort to get out of bed was the hardest thing. Especially with a half-melon sized bump.
You picked out a blue, cotton dress to wear. You needed something comfortable, yet slightly dressy, to fit your inflated tummy. You didn't want to look like a slob, but neither did you want to look like you were on the red carpet. Best thing about being at Annes - somewhere that you knew - was that you could walk around barefoot. Your feet had swollen so much that you could no longer fit into your converse, vans or heels. It was either your Birkenstocks or barefoot, but you were too lazy to add shoes today.
