For those who Are wondereing here is the scoop: I am nine weeks pregnant tommorrow! Yes it was a suprise! No we were not on any fertility medications, it just happened the old fashioned way. I haven't had a period since January, which I didn't think much of because that is just how my body works. About two or three weeks ago, I started feeling tired ALL OF THE TIME! I was feeling like such a crappy wife and mother because I felt so fatigued that I didn't have the motivation to do much of anything! Then I started feeling a little nauseas all day long! I thought that something was seriously wrong, something with my thyroid, or I had mono, something!?!pregnancy crossed my mind but I didn't take it seriously because that just doesn't happen to us, I mean it took us four years and some serious meds with the other two so who would have thought? I told Travis that I wanted to go to the Dr. because I was starting to get depressed and feeling like a really neglectful mother, I decided to take a pregnancy test just to rule it out and ta-da! it was positive! mystery solved! I made an appointment with the OBGYN and they got me in immediately not knowing how far along I was, the ultra sound gave us the first picture of the cute little peanut, and made it feel really real! I had a little bit of pregnancy fatigue with Sephie but nothing like what I had this time, holy cow it wiped me out! It gave me a new compassion for those of you who struggle with illness that cause chronic fatigue, it gets old quick! Now that I am taking prenatal vitamins, and am not so hard on myself for taking a nap with my kids, I feel much better, but now the nausea is starting to kick in full blown! I am a bit nervous having them so close together, but we are so excited to add another bundle of joy to our family!
