The Test Results Are IN!
So I havn't really decided to tell ALL that I am pregnant, but I thought I'd post it. So if you find out from the blog about our fun little news, then congrats to you. I've just been having a really tough time not talking about it because it is totally consuming my life. I don't remember the last time I felt this "sick". Not with my first two pregnancies...at least not this bad. Maybe I just forgot. I don't know. Anyway. Alex and I decided kind of last minute to try for baby number three. If I were to get pregnant in the month of September, that would mean that we would have a baby at the end of May beginning of June. Perfect! Alex is out for the summer about mid May and our insurance starts over in July! I am already 30, and I want four kids (although this pregnancy is making me "rethink" that number). Anyway, I want to be done by 35...so it just felt like it was time. This will put Mycah and baby three around 2 yrs and 4mo's apart. Nice. Ok, so now for the "not so nice". I am currently 8 weeks pregnant today. The sickness has offically kicked into full force. Eating makes me sick. Thinking about eating makes me sick. Not Eating....whoa! Talk about sick. So I feel like I am constantly stuffing my face with whatever sounds easy on my stomache. Although nothing is. I can't come up with anything that feels good on my stomache. Cooking is awefull! My poor family has been living on breakfast and frozen stuff. Saturday my body decided to add another illness, sinus cold/infection. Whatever you want to call it. It started with a little sore throat and developed this morning about 5:30am into a full blown sinus headache about the size of a watermellon, ears plugged tight that would click every time I would swallow, a stuffed nose, sore throat, my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my sockets, and that all resignated down my neck and back. Ok, so add this to the nausea and prego aches and pains...I am just in an aweful state. I know you all don't want to hear this, but I have been complaining inside for weeks now and I just had to get it out there. I couldn't make it through church yesterday I was ready to pass out, so I had Alex bring me home during the last hour. The fatigue is hard. I can only get myself up and moving just once a day to clean. So my house is way messier than I am used to. Lets just say I CAN'T WAIT for the second trimester to come around and kick this crap out. Hopefully it will. So now that I can blog about this, expect a continual update on my pregnancy. If I'm feeling up to blogging.
Congrats you guys!! You got preg at a good time, of all 30 some people I know that are pregnant right now, NONE of them are having a girl!! :) Hope you want a boy! I'm sorry you're having a rough time of things, though I completely hear you! I've called my doctor about every 2 weeks the entire pregnancy with questions about medicines I want to take, and which ones I can get prescribed, etc etc. I had the nastiest head cold for like a MONTH! And surprisingly enough, pasta and chips and salsa are ALL i wanted to eat for like 4 months! With Rylan, all I could eat was cinnamon rolls! Weird huh? Try everything, you'll find something that works! But yay! So happy for you! Get better soon and sleep sleep sleep!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're sick. I must say, even though you feel like crap I think you've gotten pretty lucky in the nausea department. I threw up like every other day when I was pregnant. And good luck on having a boy......the odds are totally in your favor this time!

ReplyDeletesorry about the double comment thing....don't know how that happened.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is really fun news. The sickness, not so fun. Just keep thinking about the end result of the suffering...

I'm so sorry that you aren't feeling well. That's the worst. Who knows maybe baby boys make you sick. Don't put too much pressure on yourself growing a baby is more important than a clean house, although I feel you on a dirty house. I hate that too. Let me know if I can help.

Congratulations Anna! I am so sorry that you are sick. If there is anything that I can please don't hesitate to call. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Sorry you are feeling so sick. Hopefully it wont last the entire 1st trimester. I was never sick, but I can definitely sympathize with the fatigue...that was always so horrible. Good luck. Congrats again. Hopefully you will get a boy this time...they are so sweet to their Momma's.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry my friend, Bleh, that's the only (nice) word to describe what you're feeling! I'm so greatful to be done with it and I will pray every day for you to be over this part before 5 1/2 months! That's how long it lasted for me... Try boiling potatos and carrots in beef or chicken bouillon.
