I had a feeling I was pregnant probably a week before I found out. My first clue was exhaustion. I told myself it was just because She-Hulk was keeping me up all night, but the night nausea hit me, I started to wonder again. I woke up (on November 22nd) to the same wave of sickness and that's when I decided to go buy a test.
It was amazing to me how quickly the line came up and how dark it was. It was so early. I didn't even miss a period- I had another 4 days at least. I called my mom, freaking out.
Then I texted Batman to come home early if possible so we could talk. He called me instead.
"What's up?"
"Ok...umm...well...I'm not sick from the Chinese food"
"You are?"
"No, I'm NOT"
silence as it starts to come together....then he laughs.
"really?!"
Really. We told our family and friends a few days later on Thanksgiving.
So far, things have been up and down. I have alot of mixed emotions and those emotions often rely on how I'm feeling at any given moment. Some hours I'm really nauseated, others not so much.
We have alot to plan and accomplish before this baby comes. She-Hulk still nurses all day and night and I haven't figured out a way to wean her (and trust me- I've wanted to be done since she was a year old). She sleeps in our bed and has never slept in her own bed. Both of these need to change. It hurts me to nurse now and when she wakes up in the middle of the night to do it, I can't fall back asleep. As I type this, she is on my lap, nursing to sleep. It's going to be an interesting change...
Spiderman sort of understands he's getting another sibling. His fingers are crossed for a brother. I don't have a preference- I have the perfect mix of both already- so anyone else is just a bonus. :)
I think it's funny that I bloat so much in the beginning. I looked huge with She-Hulk really early, too. I hope I can wear my clothes for a bit longer before switching to uncomfortable maternity clothes. Somehow, though, I'm pretty sure I'm headed there even faster than I did with Lily. My hips are wider and I can't get some of my pants over them. Sigh...
All I know is- this baby better be cute! hehe
