And Then There Were Four!!!
Well hello my dears!!
So. Yep! I am pregnant! With child. Knocked up. Carrying spawn.
TEEHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last year, Drew and I had sort of half-assed our way into procreating again, but real life kept throwing a wrench into the plans, making things as said, half-assed.
The last day of January, we sat around saying it was time to try again soon, and decided that for the first time, we were putting this in top form as now that all the house drama, cancer scares and other such nonsense was out of the way, we could focus all our energy on, well, ya know…
Aaaaaaaaaaaand, now I am four weeks pregnant, lol.
So clearly, it was time, lol.
I had actually been certain I wasn’t though! I took a test over the weekend and it came up negative, and I thought I was about to get a visit from Flo and all her whorishness, so I have been really grumpy this week. I have also been moody as hell and chugging milk like a newborn calf, but I chalked this up to me always being weird. I can’t tell you how many times I would have thought I was pregnant and I big fat wasn’t, lol.
So just for fun, I decided to take a test this morning. And after having gone through a weird thing with Lola where I couldn’t get a positive pregnancy test even though me, the docs, and everyone knew I was, I am sure you can imagine my surprise when I was watching the piddle make it’s way across the stick and the positive line showed up even before it hit the test line!!!
I was in total shock, like, seriously.
I waited a few hours, and took another, and sure enough, the line lit up even before the test strip activated!!
Now, cut to me bouncing around for a good eight hours with the knowledge that I am pregnant and not being able to tell Drew!!! I didn’t want to unload it over IM or the phone, and since he thought this month was over thanks to the negative test, I knew he had no clue at all.
Jumping around I know, but when he got home, i broke the news by having Lola present him with the pregnancy tests, at which point she proudly declared, “Look daddy, STICKS!!!!!” Drew sat there, jaw to the floor, eyes bugged, and would alternate deep breaths, with buggier eyes, with a weird smile, with staring into space. Was pretty awesome and I have some of it on video, although he did it for like half an hour, LOL!!!
Lola is thrilled about this whole little brother or sister thing, especially since she has been asking me to get on it for like six months. She seems particularly thrilled that, “We are gonna grow a baby, real big! A giant one!” Well, alrighty then!!
Doc appointment next week, and already spoke to the doc today, as, not to tarnish the glow of the good news, the reality is that I am a high risk pregnancy, and on some meds that the doc is leaving up to me whether I want to take or not. They are all cleared, but I hate taking anything when pregnant. Also I panicked that I’d had two glasses of wine with my MIL last week, but my doc assures me the kid won’t have two heads, so wee!!
Preliminarily, I am about 4 weeks along, and due approximately November 5th. I may get my Halloween baby yet!!
I am off to gorge even more Chinese food, and chug more milk, because, damn dude, the milk… How I didn’t just know I was pregnant i will never understand, lol. I was snarfing food and chugged an entire bottle of water and Drew goes, “Damn honey, you are SO pregnant. This whole last week makes soooooo much sense to me now….”
I hope you all are having an awesome week, and w00t to TGIF tomorrow!!!
Until next time,
Peace, Love, and Phantom Baby Take 2!!!!!
Congrats! Hope you get your Halloween baby! What a great way to start out the year.
Yay!!!! Congrats again Summer :-)
Thank you ladies!!!
Ahem, YAY for Summer Spawn version 2.0!!
oh man. im ready for halloween right now so i can see pics of the new baby heacock!
congrats guys!
I drank like 3 rum and diet cokes a week before I found out I was pregnant. In a smoky bar. So, there was not just booze, but smoke and a hefty dose of aspartame. Awesome, right? I cried a lot. But my doctor interestingly said that she gets LOTS of women in who tell her that and that, usually, drinking booze super super early like that has no affects because your egg either isn’t implanted yet or…something really complicated about yolk sacs vs placentas that my eyes glazed over through because she talked about it for a LONG time, lol. Congrats and stuff! :)
I am so happy for you guys! I figured you were but just in case I was wrong I kept it to myself. All I have to say is about friggen time!
