Last Saturday was like any other Saturday. London and I played and lazed around all day. I watched stupid tv and cleaned while he napped, and Kary came home and we shopped at Target. I bought a few new outfits and told Kary that because my period was due that day and no sign I also wanted to get a pregnancy test to be safe. As the cashier was ringing up one of my shirts I caught a glimpse of the tag that said "maternity wear" and I thought that's funny, didn't realize I bought a maternity shirt.
We went home and unpacked the food and I drank some water to bring on the pee. I was hoping it was negative, only because I had just scheduled my heart procedure the day before and wanted to get all that out of the way before taking on another pregnancy. When I first looked at the test stick I just saw one line. "hell ya!" I yelled because I wanted to get my heart fixed first. Then a few seconds later I saw the glimpse of another line...uh oh I started to panic. How was I going to deal with another 9+ months with SVT?! I handed the test to Kary and he looked at it in shock. We were both like, "What is happening?!!" We were super shocked because we didn't really try this time at all and last time took soooo long. I called my mom immediately and she laughed and was excited. London was cranky by now and was walking around whining and falling from being exhausted but fighting showing any sign of sleepiness. Kary and I started laughing and swearing and jumping up and down all at the same time. The second line was super faint but there it was, baby #2.
I took another test the next morning and the second line was even lighter...weird. But, we knew that a second line was still a second line. It was hard not to worry though. Suddenly, I realized I really wanted this little guy/girl and was hoping for a stronger test in a few days.
I took another test on Monday and the test was definitely dark and we are clearly expecting another little bundle of chaos. Kary was so cute and got teary-eyed when I showed him the clear positive.
So far, I am only about 5 weeks along. It's funny how this time I catch myself forgetting I'm pregnant because I'm so busy with London and work.
Looking back at the last month, there were so many signs. I had super smelling sense. I yelled at Kary about sourkraut one night and the lid was on the jar and it was across the room from me. My boobs hurt (haha) and I felt extra tired...I'm usually tired but I was sleeping even more than normal.
I haven't had much nausea yet and am hoping I don't. So far, I have felt like a total dumbass (preggo brain) and have been tiiiiired. One of my students even said, "You're acting like you have baby brain like you did when you were pregnant with London." I am hoping I don't blow my cover! I even had a little girl keep telling me I looked "different". It's so weird how intuitive kids can be.
Kary and I are sooo excited and once London sees my belly grow I'm sure he will be too! It is going to be so amazing to have another little miracle. I can't imagine having any more love to give but I'm sure it will overwhelm me again. I already feel a connection to the teeny little "sesame seed" and Kary and I are having fun talking about designing London a new room and setting up a new baby room. We LOVE that part!I will miss the wine as I watch "Cougar Town" and will be secretly hating Kary every time he gets a buzz this summer but my baby will keep me happy and growing a baby in your belly sure beats a sip of wine!
I am just so happy where I am in life right now. I am so grateful for my amazing husband, my amazing son, my potentially much-better job, our awesome, loving family, our sweet home and our 2 clumsy dogs. I am the luckiest!
oh yeah, and coolest part: baby due date (according to online) is 11/11!! Our lucky number, this baby is already pretty amazing.
