PREGNANT!
5 weeks as of Friday!
About two weeks ago I told PJ, I think I'm pregnant. He was like, okay, take a test. And I did, and it was negative, but I told him, it's too early to know. And he was like, maybe it is just wishful thinking, but why do you think that? And I explained the slight nausea and headaches that had started, to which he pointed out a cold that I had which could also be the culprint.
But the feeling didn't go away. The headaches continued. I started feeling some pulling in my stomach. I wanted to SLEEP! And started going to bed really early. And when we were in St. Louis, I took a 2 hour nap (and I NEVER nap!).
I just knew.
On Monday I called April and I told her what I thought. Now, keep in mind, I wasn't late yet - my period has been ranging between starting every 32-36 days since June when I start menstrating again. Anyway, Monday was about 30 days - but I just had a feeling. April suggested I wait until Friday to take a test so that if it didn't come back positive initially I didn't continue to worry all week. Good plan. Wed I mentioned my theory to PJ. Then Friday after work, I bought a test and bingo - just as I thought - POSITIVE!
We are keeping it to ourselves right now (oh, and April obviously!) and will tell our friends and families when I am further along - maybe at Thanksgiving. We hope to see the dr and have an ultrasound before then.
So - my hopes are for a VBAC - god, I will be sooo pissed if I have to have another c-section! But obviously, healthy baby is first and foremost! And I wonder, how will I nurse both? I need to research that? As Brennan was having his leisurely morning nursing session, I wondered, does that work? I know it does, but isn't the milk composition different? Oh well, time will tell. But I have a feeling my little boy will still want the boobie.
