So...If you didn't see my post earlier this week...I'm pregnant again! It feels weird even announcing that on the
internet to people I don't even know. Makes me that much more nervous
about announcing it to our friends and family. But, I'll get to that
in a minute.
It's so funny how different all of my
pregnancies, and the circumstances leading up to them, have been so
far. With Myka, it took us over 3 years and I was barely sick with
her. In fact, I only physically got sick once with her...the morning
of the first day of my 2nd trimester! How's that for
irony? Ha ha
It took us a “normal” amount of
time with Ripley (several months). I was a lot more nauseous with
her. I think I may have gotten physically sick with her a few times,
but mostly only when I had the stomach flu with her. Let me tell you,
having things coming out of both ends while you're pregnant is not
fun!
With this one, it is super early (I
just found out last Saturday, June 24th) and already I've
had to take my papaya extract for nausea! And, wouldn't you have it,
we weren't exactly trying, but not NOT trying either this time. Like,
I could tell you the exact date that it happened because I've been
keeping track of my cycles and all that. So yah, I've become one of
those women I used to hate that gets pregnant at the drop of a hat,
it seems. Go figure, right?
This is DEFINITELY our last baby. (I
really want one of those shirts that says “Seriously, This is the
Last One!”) John and I decided a long time ago that three was
definitely the max on what we thought we could handle. I'm still not
completely convinced we can handle this many, but it's too late now.
It's all I can do to survive the day with the 4 year old most of the
time. Ha ha Not to mention the thought of three girls, especially
once puberty hits, is ****ing frightening!
I'm really nervous about telling our
family. Well, not so much my husband's as mine...Which is ironic
because I come from a larger family than him. I'm sure at least his
mom will be excited because ever since we found out we were having
another girl with Ripley, his family likes to go on about how we need
to keep trying until we have a boy to “carry on the name”. You
know. Because we can obviously control that. I could care less about
that (probably because it's not my maiden name, huh? Lol), but we are
really hoping for a boy this time.
My mom only had me and my step-dad
only had one kid as well, so I'm sure they're probably going to think
we're crazy! I'm sure we'll get some snarky comments from certain,
more distant relatives, but that's ok. I don't care. It's none of
their business. I'm sure most of them will be happy for us.
I think that's all for now! I could
write more, but I'm really trying to get better about not writing you
guys books for each post. ;) Have any of you experienced any
negativity with any of your pregnancies? How did you handle it?
Congratulations 😀 Hope the sickness passes super quick. Thanks for linking up with us #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again! I too had a real bad morning sickness with Evelyn. I just couldn't keep anything down. I had to go to A&E and spent a day on a drip at the end of my first trimester. But after that I was fine right though. My mum thinks I was in a hurry to my my #2 Haha She was talk - she had 7 kids! & I'm was then turning 37 already! But this is the max - I'm not having anymore... no thank you! I need sleep! lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you again for sharing your story with us on #FabFridayPost xx
Oh, yuck! That is no fun. I'm so thankful I have never been that sick with any of my pregnancies. I don't even take prescription nausea medicine. ha ha I'm not a big medication person to begin with, though.
DeleteI hear you on the sleep! I've also been extremely lucky in that department! Both girls have been good sleepers from an early age. Hopefully this baby will be too!
