#2: Week 4, Day 4

:)


Just found out today. I had a sneaking suspiscion. Last week I was so annoyed/irritated/moody that I thought I would crawl right out of skin. This week, on afternoon family walks I've been getting hot - like, flashes of hot....in a way which seemed odd. Thirdly (and perhaps most telling), coffee no longer tastes good to me. In fact, it tastes bad and makes me feel queasy. And truth be told, I sort of feel queasy all day - especially after I eat something. Plus some tummy cramping... I just knew. I actually took a test yesterday but it was negative, but I took it late in the day. For my second test, I planned better and took it first thing in the morning. I also went digital this time. No faint lines for this girl - I want it spelled out. Literally. "Pregnant."

How do I feel about having baby number 2? Well :


That is how I feel! 2 babies! Whoo! Matt was at work when I took the test and Z was still sleeping. There was no one to tell! It felt different than when I found out with Z. Here are things I did not do when finding out I was pregnant that I did last time:
- I did not start shaking uncontrollably.
- I did not immediately log on to babycenter.com to read about every week of pregnancy.
- I did not start wondering if everything I was feeling today was "normal."
- I did not feel as though time went by at all time slow pace.
- Immediately call my ob to make an appointment that won't happen for 6 more weeks :op

I did however, tell Z first thing when she woke up. She responded like any 14 month would I guess. She fussed to be put down so she could start playing with her toys.

I went to Babies and bought a "big sister" shirt. When Matt got home she was wearing it. He saw her and said, "aww, are you a big baby...wait, are you a big sister? wait, what does that say? (to me) are you pregnant??" I said "yup" and he asked, "how do you know!?" Well, cause I went digital this time.

ahhhh! two babies. We're due some time in June. I won't tell any my official due date. Only Mateo knows.

It almost doesn't feel real yet, besides the physical symptoms. I guess because I'm not officially late yet and because it is all sort of surreal before the discomfort sets in. I'm a little nervous because I don't remember feeling queasy this early on last time. Could it be possible for morning sickness to be worse than last time!? Oh brother. But, I've heard and read on other momma blogs that every pregnancy can be so different so I'm not gonna worry about it until I'm for sure sticking my head in the toilet 7x a day again.

Well, here I am at 4 weeks. Grow baby Grow!
