It's happened again. I made a plan, I thought it was a good one. It was an important one, a well thought out one. I thought I was sticking to it, with only a minor tweaking, when Heavenly Father apparently already had something else in mind. Can't He tell me these things BEFOREhand. It makes me think of one of my favorite lines on "The Wedding Singer" the day after he gets left at the altar and his fiance comes to see him and tells him a couple of reasons why she stood him up and he replies, "Information that would have been helpful to know YESTERDAY!"
Anyway here was the plan: Eric and I made a decision to have another baby, I put it off for about a year and then decided it was time, BUT, not until I went to Disneyland. We took the kids last year and they had a blast, a lot more fun than I thought they would considering thier young ages, really they loved every minute and have talked about going again the second we got home and throughout the year. So I thought let's go again now that they are older they'll enjoy it even more and I'll get to enjoy it without being sick and pregnant.
My sister called me in April and told me she was pregnant. To which my loving husband replied, "How come everyone gets pregnant except my wife." Irrrrrrr. That did not make me happy, but still I didn't budge, I thought, we're waiting. Then Eric and I talked about it again. My birth control pills were running out and we decided not to get a refill BECAUSE it took me about 5 months to get pregnant with Bianca and 8 months to get pregnant with Wyatt so I figured I was safe and I would give my body time to adjust from being off the birth control. Yeah...... so remember that post about how I wasn't sleeping and how I was having a hard time adjusting. I was pregnant. If I'm remembering correctly I think I must have gotten pregnant a couple of days after going off the birth control. I did go off of it a week early but still I thought I was safe.
So, we are leaving for CA to go to Disneyland this Sunday, and I am wanting to vomit every ten minutes. Lovely. By the way when I took the test and found out I was pregnant, I picked Wyatt up and swung him around, I was so happy. Then the familiar nausea set in, let's just say I'm glad this will be my last child. This time around I did get some zofran from the Dr. It's an anti-nausea medication. Mostly for the trip. Traveling with two small children is stressful enough without feeling crappy too. So wish me luck! I'm excited, worried, tired, and happy all at the same time. I'm not planning on planning anything else important again any time soon! Humph!
Oh, Congratulations! And I'm so sorry about the nausea stuff. I hate that stage of it all. So does Jason because he has to step in and basically take over the running of the house. I have to keep reminding him that it doesn't last the whole time. But you're having to experience the yucks and travel. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got at least an almost twirl in before some of the unpleasantries set in! Congrats on having a bun in the oven, and good luck with a trip to Disneyland! My kids went yesterday with my Mom, they had a blast and I took a nap.
ReplyDeleteWell that is exciting news! (Isn't it better than having to go through the emotional roller coaster for 5-8 months again though?) Congrats! :) Mike and I wanted one last hurrah trip before we had kids...yeah, got pregnant sooner than expected and I ended up going to FRANCE 8 weeks pregnant! Tickets were already paid for and I couldn't enjoy all the yummy pastries!
ReplyDeleteYEEEEAAAAAA!!! I'm so happy for you Liz!! I could tell that you were getting pretty baby-hungry with the way you always loved holding Brian. :) Of course, I always love having other women dote on him too. I wish I could be there to help out and also to see you with your own little sweetheart baby. Keep in touch!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Liz! I'm excited for this new little one -- but not so excited that you have to be sick to get that baby. Good luck on the Disney trip!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so excited for you! Speaking of "best laid plans," MY plan was to be where YOU are right now, so I could have a spring baby, but then we just felt strongly like we shouldn't wait, and there you go--November baby instead.
ReplyDeleteGood luck surviving all the ickiness, especially during your trip! And it IS a comfort to know it's the last time!
Congrats!!! How exciting!! I'm sorry about the timing, though. I think the 1st trimester is the hardest & I tried to do Disney then, of course we go all the time so it wasn't a big deal & we left early. I say take the train as much as you can & sit out as many rides as possible.
ReplyDeleteHurray, you're having another baby! I'm sorry about pregnancy, though. Sometimes I wonder why our bodies have to be tortured to get a little one. Would it make it too easy to have a baby if we didn't go through hell to get that baby here? Seriously.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's exciting that you will be having baby #3. Hope you don't get too sick.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and your family! I'm sorry about the unpleasant part but as you know you will forget about them shortly after you hold him or her in your arms.
ReplyDeleteEmail me when you get in town...we should meet up! I'm sure Cheryl would love to too if you have time.
Ally
OMG! Congrats!
