Thanks for the good vibes!
Jul. 20th, 2010 02:15 pmTo those of you who were sending me good pregnancy vibes, I want to thank you. Because it totally worked!
I'm pregnant!
I'm a little over eight weeks along right now. I had a sonogram last Friday giving me a due date of 2/26, which is nearly consistent with my LMP dates. So...yay! I'll be having a winter baby.
We haven't told G yet. Only because he's only three and a half, and the idea of having to wait ten minutes for dinner to be ready is a little too much for him at times. I can't even imagine telling him he's going to have a brother or sister (he wants a sister. He asks for her weekly) but not for another eight months. We'd never hear then end of "Is the baby here? When's the baby going to be here? What's a month? How many months? Is that a long time?" What can I say? The kid never stops asking questions. He rarely even stops asking questions to listen to the answers we're giving him either.
I just spent about three weeks feeling absolutely miserable. So miserable, that my mom came and took G from me for three whole days. Which was awesome of her, because it's hard to watch a three year old and nap and puke at the same time. I'm feeling much better now, though I still get tired easily, which can be expected to last the remainder of my first trimester.
When you are as tired as you've ever been, but you're awake and throwing up, it's hard to feel excited about being pregnant. But once you get to feeling better, the excitement is all there. And now that it's my second, there's all the anxiety that I didn't have with G. Anxiety about money. Anxiety about space (we live in a small 1,000 sq. foot condo) anxiety about my job, anxiety about those first two difficult months with a newborn. The list goes on.....
