04/29/2013 - We had a bit of a surprise happen to us. It all started about a week or so ago when my breast starting getting tender. I thought it was a little weird, but that happens some times before you start your period. Then I was having a little phlegm in the mornings and was feeling tired. But Megan hasn't been sleeping very well, so Tony and I have both been tired lately. But it wasn't until I missed my period that I really started to worry. I came up with lots of different reasons to wait to take a pregnancy test, but this morning I had no more excuses. Tony needed to get some things at the hardware store, so I asked him to pick up a test while he was out.I took the test as soon as he got home from the store. It took less then a minute to show me the results. I couldn't believe it...well I could...the signs were there...but we were not planning this. I took the test outside where Tony was working and showed him. He was surprised to say the least. We talked for a while about different things, we were still in shock. I looked up what my due date would be and it is December 31st. Megan will only be like 21 months old.
We weren't sure if we'd have another baby, Tony was pretty adamant that we were done. But I wasn't sure so this is definitely an answer to my prayers. It is happening a lot sooner then I thought it would if we did have another one. It took us so long to get pregnant with Megan we didn't really worry too much about preventing these last couple months...guess this baby was meant to be and meant to come to us now.
We don't plan on telling anyone for a while. That is why I am doing these post as drafts until I am ready to make this information public. We did have to tell my parents because my mom was planning on taking me on a cruise in October so I thought it only fair to tell her before she made too many plans. It's not really fair to her to take someone on a trip that is sick the whole time. I didn't sleep at all last night. My mind just kept running and running. I am still in shock. It is such a blessing and I am super excited for a baby, but surprised that it is happening so soon.
04/31/2013 - I think about the fact that I am pregnant all day long. I still can't believe it. It is pretty crazy that every time I go to the bathroom I look at the tissue and half expect to see red showing that I am starting my period. I still don't feel too sick. Tired mostly. Every now and then I will feel nauseous but after I eat something I feel better. It is still really early.
I have started going through the kids room and getting rid of things that we really don't use or need. With another member of the family coming we just don't have room to keep stuff we don't use or need. It is kind of nice to have things more organized.
I told Tony that I won because now we are having four kids and he said that we might as well have six now. I said no way. Four will be more then enough for me to handle. I am pretty sure after this one we are done. I couldn't say that after we had Megan...I just felt that we would have four kids. It's still super crazy to think of.
05/12/2013 - Today we told our siblings. They all seemed really surprised. My siblings had a lot of questions for me, which I expected. I was happy to answer them and it felt really good talking about it. I decided not to wait to tell them. The reason you wait to tell people is if you miscarry the baby. I figure if I loose the baby then I am going to want to talk about it and will want the support of my family. I am glad that they all know and that they are all so supportive of us. We have such a great family!
05/17/2013 - It has been a hard week. I woke up Monday morning with a major headache. Later that day my throat and ear started hurting. I thought I was getting a sinus infection. Tuesday I still felt bad so I went into the doctor. She told me that there hasn't been enough time to say if I have infection and most sinus infections are viral so I needed to just wait it out. So she told me to take musinex and an allergy med and that should help me. So then it was off to find these medicines and make sure they were okay to take while pregnant. So I still don't feel good. I have been feeling very nauseous off and on all day long. I have also been EXHAUSTED! I don't know if it is just the pregnancy or if it's the meds too, but I am tired all the time. My sinuses are all messed up and I just want to feel good again. I sure hope that this is all gone by the time we leave for Denver in about a week and a half and that I don't get any more sick.
05/19/2013 - Today I found a little pink on my tissue after I went to the bathroom. I immediately started to worry. I have never spotted with any of my other pregnancies. I started reading about spotting in my pregnancy books and they pretty much said not to worry too much unless you have lots of cramping. I was having back cramps, but nothing in the front. So I asked Tony for a blessing to help me feel better. He didn't tell me everything would be perfect, but he did give me comfort. I needed the humbling. After the blessing I have not had anymore spotting. I am really hoping and praying that I will not have any more spotting. I need to stay humble and not over due things. I am really thankful for this pregnancy and feel extremely blessed to be able to get pregnant and have my own babies. It really is a blessing.
05/20/2013 - I spotted a little again today. It was early this afternoon, about the same time as yesterday. It wasn't bad, but it still worries me. I am glad that it stopped and hope that it doesn't come back. Crazy stuff.
05/26/2013 - I haven't had any more spotting, luckily. I haven't started throwing up yet, so that makes me nervous that I am not more sick. I do still feel sick off and on and am super tired everyday. It's hard not to worry, but I am trying to not let it get to me. I think when we get back from Denver I will call my Midwife and see if I can go in for an ultrasound before my appointment, just to make sure everything looks good. Guess we'll see.
