Not about cars this time\u2026<\/h3>\n

Sorry for the teasing title. This time, it\u2019s not about cars, but a personal update about our family<\/strong>. I\u2019m currently five months pregnant and expecting our third child this August. Finally, the time has come to share this news with everyone.<\/p>\n

From the end of last year through the beginning of this year, my health wasn\u2019t great, and when I mentioned that I\u2019d be posting less frequently on the blog, many readers sent me messages like, \u201cAre you feeling okay?<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cAre you overdoing the blog? Please take care of yourself!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you all so much for your warm messages. I\u2019m sorry for causing you worry.<\/p>\n

The cause of my health issues was morning sickness\u2014I could barely eat in January and spent most days lying down, vomiting daily. On the rare days I felt better, I\u2019d get a bit carried away, shouting \u201cAlright!\u201d as I updated the blog or visited the Porsche Center, only to be hit with severe vomiting that very night\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this time the morning sickness was milder and ended sooner than with my older two. Now, I only notice a slight acidic taste in my mouth, and my health has fully recovered.<\/p>\n

The reason our family\u2019s car choice kept changing and couldn\u2019t be finalized was because of this surprise new life:<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re going to be a family of five, a four-seater Panamera is definitely out. Is the Taycan too cramped? Then maybe the Cayenne\u2026 but if we\u2019re traveling as five, we\u2019d use the Note anyway\u2026 hmm.<\/p>\n

So, it was tough to make a firm decision.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy and the blog<\/h3>\n

While we\u2019re truly happy and grateful for this new life, I have to admit I felt conflicted when I first found out I was pregnant.<\/strong> The blog had been growing nicely since last fall, and I myself was thinking,<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year, I\u2019m going to dive even deeper into blogging! The kids will be a bit more independent, and I\u2019ll finally have some time for myself, so I\u2019m going to give it my all!\u201d<\/p>\n

So the pregnancy came as a surprise just as I was gearing up.<\/p>\n

From experience, pregnancy shifts your mindset from pushing forward to protecting and nesting (let\u2019s call it nesting)<\/span>. After birth, you\u2019re busy caring for the baby, sleep is scarce, and it becomes physically and mentally difficult to take on new challenges or work.<\/p>\n

Also, with our eldest starting elementary school and our second entering kindergarten this April, adding a newborn to the mix means things will get hectic\u2026 Thinking about all this, I couldn\u2019t hide my hesitation about having to put the brakes on my plans again, so I talked it over with my husband and we discussed it thoroughly.<\/p>\n

That said, I\u2019m still a mother at heart\u2026 When we heard the baby\u2019s heartbeat at the first prenatal checkup, I was overwhelmed with emotion, and at that moment, I fully committed myself to this birth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m focusing on making sure the baby arrives safely, taking it easy as much as possible (though my nature makes me push myself anyway\u2026)<\/span>, and living calmly.<\/p>\n

The Porsche blog going forward<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m sure many readers are curious about what our next family car will be after the Panamera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve roughly decided on a direction, but nothing is finalized yet\u2014including specs\u2014so I\u2019ll share more details when the time is right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As for the blog, I plan to keep updating at a similar pace, sometimes mixing in \u201cpregnancy and car topics<\/strong>.\u201d I\u2019m not sure what will happen after the baby is born, but knowing myself, I\u2019ll probably keep up this pace. (Though parenting is tough, I\u2019m not the type to have my whole life consumed by it.)<\/span><\/p>\n

This post didn\u2019t touch on cars at all, but please continue to support \u201cWelcome Home, PORSCHE\u201d going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not about cars this time\u2026 Sorry for the teasing title.
