Friday Night Leftovers (The Yes I'm Pregnant Edition)

Where to begin?
The beginning would be too easy.  So, for the sake of sharing, let's go bullet points.  And, really, why not Friday Night Leftover it while we're at it.

  • First, I owe some people an apology.  I'm sorry to anyone from this post and/ or this post who suggested I might be pregnant because I was exhausted and craving iced tea.  I am still in shock that that was/ is the case, but sure enough, it's true.
  • And, I'm still drinking iced tea by the gallons.  I make a huge batch of non-sweetened, decaf tea and guzzle it throughout the week.  Weirdest craving ever.
  • Almost nine weeks ago now, I had an appointment on a Monday morning with my OB/GYN to get an exam and a prescription for birth control.  On Sunday I took a pregnancy test, for no really good reason.  I wasn't feeling pregnant.  I didn't suspect I was pregnant.  I just figured I'd take one since the appointment was the next morning.  Surprise!
  • I literally ran down the street in my pajamas to show Bee as he was standing with the girls while they were riding their bikes.
  • I took a second test.  Positive.
  • And the doctor?  Yep, he confirmed it too.
  • Because of my history, I was put on progesterone for the first twelve weeks of the pregnancy.  I took my last pill this past weekend.
  • The vomiting and the nausea were off the charts.  Worse this time than with either of the girls.  Enter zofran.  The vomiting went from about eight times a day (yes- EIGHT) to about three to four.  Everything made me sick, everything.  Washing dishes, the smell of food, the dishwasher.  Every hour of the day, especially first thing in the morning and after about four in the afternoon.
  • And exhaustion?  Holy crap.
  • Slowly, all has gotten better.  I still get sick (although not daily) and still need naps (okay, almost daily) but I'm coming into the second trimester and hoping for more energy and less aversion to food.
  • Bee has been beyond wonderful. I owe an entire post to just how great he has been.  From day one he has gone above and beyond helpful.  
  • I'm great at keeping other people's secrets, but not so good at keeping my own.  It's been really hard to be quiet about this. 
  • So, what else do you want to know?

I am so glad it is out! And no need to say sorry to me...Honestly, I felt it in my bones! And so wanted it to be true for you!!!

So I want to know...will you find out the gender? Are the girls Psyched? Why are you calling the baby "blue"?

Congrats again!!

Di said...

Congrats! How exciting. My Jellybean is almost 7 months old and I still need a nap daily! :)

Manda said...

Congrats again. And ahh.. the zofran. At least it took it down to four times or so. I had to go on it with the last pregnancy and was still going oh.. 16-20 times a day. I ended up with home IVS and hospital stays. Who says pregnancy can't make you LOOSE weight?!
Hope you start feeling better soon.

Laura said...

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you!

Marcia said...

I knew it! Well, not really, but I highly suspected it!! Congrats to all and take good care of yourself!

The Tompkins Family said...

I can't believe you've been doing all you've been doing lately AND throwing up and feeling that rotten. Supermama!

Carmen said...

Congratulations! So exciting (minus the throwing up, of course).

Trish said...

Congrats, once again! I wonder if the extra progesterone had anything to do with the vomiting being so bad. Progesterone gave me terrible headaches with my surrobaby. I do hope you are feeling more spry very soon. I was much more exhausted during my surro-pregnancy than with my two girls. I think it was because I already had two little ones at home to care for, and couldn't nap as often as I could with my first two pregnancies.

Did I mention I'm SUPER excited for you!!!

Ashley said...

congrats congrats!!! :)

Leslie Collins said...

So, so very exciting!!!! The puking? Not so much. I feel for you sister. It sounds like we were in the same boat. Zofran took me down to about 5-6 times per day until about 15 weeks and then I felt fantastic. I am praying you feel better soon. I am glad to hear you have such an amazing hubs. You are one lucky lady!

:)

I know I waited around the same time frame with A and even longer with the twins before telling others.

I love how this was a complete and utter surprise.

Maybe all the differences will mean it is a boy???

HereWeGoAJen said...

I accidentally blog denied my last pregnancy too.

Yes, the exhaustion. Oh, the exhaustion.

daisybv2 said...

I am so behind in blogging and reading blogs I am sorry I will get better

CONGRATS to you and your family how wonderful! I am still taking Zofran in Month 8 and did with my other to.

But I have to say that I was much much more sick with my boys than my girl :) Thinking Blue

Kristin said...

Huge congratulations and I hope you feel a bit better soon.

JEN said...

Thrilled for you!!!

Rebecca @ Unexplained X2 said...

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! You already know that though (except the sick and exhaustion...that always sucks)...hang in there!

Barb said...

Congrats Congrats! So happy for you guys! I hope you feel much better soon. That stuff is hard!

Mrs. Z said...

SO exciting! The exhaustion just is plain awful, hope that passes soon and that magic 2nd-tri energy arrives (uh, not sure if that really happened for me!). And husbands are the best!

Megan said...

That is too funny that you denied the pregnancy recognition- strange how some women just "know"- even over the internet.

I hope you are feeling well and that you get a nap this weekend. You are a superstar!

Kakunaa said...

Congrats! I had to be on a zofran pump until 24 weeks. Or 25. Mostly lowered symptoms. But oh, my...I know how hard that is. Good luck!

andrea said...

i love this, not the puking or tired part really, but the pregnant part and the awesome husband part!

KimBerly said...

WOW!! That is so awesome! Congrats!! How do you feel about going from 2 to 3 kids. I have one and would like more but I am not sure if we can. We'll see.

I hope you feel better. Good Luck!

lighthouse84 said...

Congratulations!! I hope you can get some rest and feel better soon.

Stacie said...

Yay! I am so, so happy for you!

I remember the fatigue. The boys got to the point where they wouldn't let me lie down on the couch because they knew I'd fall asleep! They would take my blankets and whatever else they could to keep me up!

Hope you're feeling better soon!

dfost said...

yay! Congrats!!

dfost said...

also, I craved Iced Tea while pregnant, too.. weird.

Alana said...

WOOT! Much congrats (again) to all of you!

Been sending prayers and warm wishes for you every night.

LOVE the pics of the girls in the last post, btw.

Hugs!

Barbara Manatee said...

omgosh! I wrote and pre-posted a FNL post last week but couldn't link in b/c I was on vacation and look what I missed!!!

Congrats and hope you're feeling better!!
