Well, here’s the big news… I’m pregnant. I am still kind of
in shock about the whole thing. NOTHING has been like it was last time with
Margaux. First off getting pregnant with Margaux was a breeze and this time
took a little bit longer, but by no means complicated. With Margaux I said,
“this would be a good time to try. Maybe I guess I should start counting my
days? Ooops, wait, I didn’t start my period on time. Awesome… I’m pregnant!”
Not this time. I stopped taking my pill in November of last year. I started
counting my days. I was like clock work as I’ve always been. Then I figured out
my optimum days for conception. I kept a close eye on all the things you
should, but tried not to overdo it. Then the end of February, first of March
rolled around. I was late, over a week late. I took pregnancy test 1: negative,
I took pregnancy test 2: negative, I took pregnancy test 3: negative. Then I
got my period. However I did freak a little about the lateness. I asked two of
my favorite nurses, my mom and my friend Amelia what might have happened to me?
Should I be concerned? My thought, OMG my girl parts are failing me! All I
could do to explain the change was the stress of almost losing my grandfather
in February.
I decided
to get more serious for the upcoming months, since March was shot and all my
counting was off because of being so late. I downloaded ovulation tracking apps
on my phone. I bought an ovulation detection kit to use during the month of
April. I counted and paid close attention to my body during the month of March
to get back on track in April. Funny thing was I saw NO signs of ovulation.
None. What the heck? I told Matt between last month’s lateness and this month’s
weirdness, something is wrong with me. The next morning out of curiosity, days
before my cycle was to start. I decided to take a pregnancy test. Dark, Clear,
Distinct, No question positive! Huh?!?! I could not believe it. It was on
Easter morning and I took it to Matt in the bed and told him the Easter bunny
left him something and we both got teary eyed. But it sucked because we were
about to see our families and could not tell them because it was way too early.
We’ve now
gone to the 10 week appointment and the baby looks good so far. So the word is
out to all. The only major pregnancy symptom I’ve had so far is nausea and
tired/exhaustion that has recently set in. Baby will be due December 13th,
but mommy’s belly is growing much faster than last time. I’m quite shocked at
the early pronounced belly. My mother keeps asking if they are sure there is
only one in there. “Yes, mom, just one.”
