so I began a post a while ago, and lost it... so here goes.
Phil and I found out we were pregnant on March 6, 2009 at 10:00pm. I'd come home from class and was musing about my constant mild nausea and Lee told me I should just go ahead and take the test she gave me, so I did.
It was positive.
Phil and I were so thrilled! We wanted to call his family right away, but figured that 1am wasn't the most pleasant time for that kind of discussion. I called my mom though, and figured I'd tell more people when I'd been to the doctor for confirmation.
That night we prayed for the baby and wrote h/h our first letter.
My doctor's visit obviously confirmed our baby's existence, and we've been jumping for joy ever since! Except of course that moving at all was almost impossible for me after the middle of March. I've never been motion sick, but I threw up the other night after going to the wave pool. I returned to the doctor and she prescribed Declectin for my nausea, which has become a rather unwelcome 24-hour companion. The declectin helps, I can walk and be in a car without extreme discomfort, but my companion hasn't left yet. I'm crossing my fingers for the next few weeks, it's supposed to get better in second trimester.
I'm trying to eat at least twice a day, but it's not easy. I'm keeping up with vitamins though, and drinking milk. Phil helps as much as he can, trying to make me appetising food and getting me things when I crave them.
I've gotta to drive Phil to his bus stop. :) hanging in there.
The being sick sucks big time. I had constant nausea for the first while, and by about 12 weeks, just like all the books promised, it started going away. It was hard at work, because I have to deal with garbage everyday.
ReplyDeleteI am SOOOOO excited for you guys!! We'll have cute little babies together!
If you ever need anyone to lean on (you know through the computer) to talk to about whatever, I am totally there!
Congratulations again!!!
I am sooo ridiculously happy for you and Phil. I remember when Lee told me you guys were trying, I wanted to bug her every week asking her if you guys had succeeded yet! and then when I found out I was sooo excited!
ReplyDeletethere WILL be playdates!
Im thinking that perhaps I should refrain from telling you how many times I have vomited in the last 6 hours alone...and also refrain from pointing out that I am very much in the second trimester. Yeah..I wont talk about that!
I will admit though that it IS slightly better than it was. it still sucks though. Of course every minute of it is worth it in the end. hell, its worth it for the few moments I get to listen to my kiddos heartbeat every 4 weeks. and for those first flutters of movement that are so random and all "wait...was that just gas or did something kick me? ".
pregnancy is weird, awful and wonderful all at the same time. such a trip.
