Third Pregnancy Different For Hasselbeck

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is pregnant but The View co-host is approaching this third pregnancy very differently.  She’s already got two children, Grace, 4, and son Taylor Thomas, 1, so I’m guessing there’s just a lot less time to think about being pregnant (plus she works, of course). 

She recently confessed to People magazine: "I’m definitely not paying attention to my pregnancy.  That won’t be true for the child [when it arrives]. But now, when you have two kids running around you’re not the pregnant person you were before.  For the first pregnancy, you’re a pregnant goddess and everyone is running around giving you water.  But the third time around, you’re just lucky to have a prenatal pill by the end of day!"

I can understand exactly what she means.  My third pregnancy was high-risk so I was thinking about that quite a bit but the regular pregnancy stuff was second-nature by then.  I wasn’t as worried and cautious as I had been the first couple times. 

Hasselbeck is also giving Grace and Taylor time to bond before getting them all ready for the new arrival.  "I’m just letting them really enjoy this time as brother and sister," she said. "Then I’ll throw in the word baby once in awhile to remind them."
