I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant and I seriously hope the nausea gets better soon. It wasn't nearly this bad with either of the boys (and yes, about a bajillion people have now told me "well, you must be having a girl"). I've been eating about one good meal a day and then surviving on toast and juice. Hey, helps with the pregnancy weight gain I guess!
Sadly though I have had to break out my maternity pants already. Part third baby, part any extra pressure makes my nausea worse and I'm already quite stylish...
I knew I was pregnant before the positive test. It's not completely unheard of for me to be late, but very rare. I took 4 tests, one every 3 days starting on the day I was due until I got a positive (the day after my brother's wedding!). In the mean time the first sign I was pregnant? The fact that my dreams suddenly got very vivid and I remembered them. This is a hallmark of pregnancy for me.
However. When I did finally get that (oh so faint) second line it went from being an intuitive knowledge to an "oh wow, we really are doing this again" reality.
Then the waiting for all the other lovely symptoms to kick in. The I-can't-sleep-on-my-back at all symptom. That started about week 7. The getting-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-pee; also week 7. The new one this time though? Feeling that twinge when I sit up too fast that is ligaments stretching. I really don't remember that until about 4 months or later... 7 weeks stinks!
This baby? Due on Easter! And yes, within weeks of his or her brothers. What can I say, we are teachers and we have summer vacation...
And today we heard the heartbeat for the very first time. Yay!
This post was actually pieced together over a few weeks, but I just can't resist the fact that it fits so well with today's 5 Minute Friday theme!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! Hope you enjoyed your scrapbooking night. xoxox
ReplyDeletecongratulations again! i thought of you when i got the mail yesterday...we had a chase gift card for $125 if you open a checking account. i'd be happy to pass it along...i already took advantage of another one that came along in our rice and bean days. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm so happy for you guys. I'm putting in my vote for a 3rd boy! May God bless you with your very own wolf pack. And yeah, lots of symptoms started early on the third one for me too, and I was way way way more emotional. Also nauseated really early. I remember changing a diaper with a puke bowl beside the baby just in case I hurled. Good times.
ReplyDeleteAh HA!
ReplyDeleteWe were out of town all of last week so I'm catching up on my google reader here. Just got to this post. =D
Since I didn't say it in my other comment - CONGRATULATIONS! (And yeah, I'm going with the flow of things and guessing "girl" this time!)
So you have finally announced it! Congratulations again! I guess the pregnancy symptoms come earlier on subsequent babies, huh. Hope your nausea goes away soon though. It's not fun!
ReplyDeleteHooray! And congrats! So very excited for you all.
