Here we are, round 2. Yup I’m pregnant! This was a little bit of a shock I have to admit. We were not planning on trying this early. Yes we wanted to have about 2 years between our kids and we were planning on trying towards October/November but this is a lot sooner than I was expecting.
It all started with my noticing that my period was off. Since it started again following Kaylee’s birth, by day number 2 I am having full on cramps and the flow ain’t messing around. But this time, it was day 2 and all I had was what we usually have at the end. I even told David, this doesn’t feel right. So that Tuesday night, I had already planned to take a pregnancy test the next morning. What really sealed the deal was before settling into my spot on the couch for the evening, I was doing something in the kitchen while David was comfy in his reclined seat, eating Doritos, I could smell those chips as if my head was in the bag. The smell was sooo strong. I told David, your chips smell. He just looked up at me and said you’re not normal. When I sat down, thinking over what I just said, I looked at him and said I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant.
Wednesday July 14th at about 7:30am, I peed on that stick, waiting to see how many lines were going to pop up. At first I thought I messed up because the little window wasn’t filling up. But then sure enough, I saw that faint pink backdrop slowly fill up. And then the first line..and then the second. The second wasn’t very dark so I started telling David we need a second test, go to the pharmacy and get me a digital test NOW. I needed to know. I was not about to wait until I was ready to leave the house to find out officially (let’s face it, some days I am nowhere near ready to leave the house). And of course, the pharmacy only opened at 9. I had 1.5 hours to wait. In the mean time I showered, washed my hair, tried to keep myself busy.
We finally got the second test and sure enough, preggo 1-2 weeks. Based on all the apps and all the google calculations, I was about 4 weeks along. Now all these new things I had been feeling in the last few weeks started making sense. After every meal I almost feel like a heartburn kind of sensation. Has to be the pregnancy. My number two habits changed with my first pregnancy, and now all of a sudden I am more regular (has to be the pregnancy).
Now my next step, is weaning Kaylee off the boob and onto formula. I have to admit this is scary to me. I am going to miss that time together. I am going to miss her little eyes looking up at me and her smiling. I am also scared of how her transition will go, will she take to it, will she have any reactions etc.
I am sure I will have plenty more updates very soon..
yours truly, Mama 2.0
