Who's the Sick One Now?

Me. Let's see the checklist:

x Extreme Fatigue
x Constant Nauseousness
x Sore Limbs
x Irritable (at times)
x Forgetful
x Acne
x Weight Gain
x Frequently using the Restroom
x Major Insomnia (this is a new one)
x Sore Breasts


Diagnosis: A new little baby will join our family in September!

I have been keeping it a secret for quite some time but more and more people are finding out so I figure I may as well finally post it. Plus my first ultrasound isn't until the end of February and I can't wait that long to spill the beans here.

I was really quite shocked to learn that I'm pregnant. I had a doctor appointment about 2 1/2 weeks ago for a yearly exam. Before I went I took a pregnancy test since I was late. Well, I messed up the first one (it is possible) and the second one I took at like 3 am. I didn't see a second line nad didn't wait around for it, assuming I wasn't pregnant. When I awoke again at 8 I decided to check out the test. Lo and behold, there was a faint second line. But not on the messed up one. What could this mean? Afterall, it says on the box not to pay attention to the results after 10 minutes. This was hours later. So I told the doctor and they did a blood test. I was shocked when he called and said it was positive! I honestly did not believe I could be pregnant! When I called Zach and told him he didn't believe me! When we told our children they were SO excited! That's what I love about them- they really want a baby in the house! Little Man clapped his hands, had the cutest look on his face and said, 'There's a baby in your belly'. A bit later he looked at me and said, "I'm so happy there's a baby in your belly!" Princess is wanting a sister, so she'll have two brothers and two sisters! Please keep this pregnancy in your prayers. For the most part I'm peaceful and trusting God in it but at times fear creeps in.

Congratulations Jamie! I'm praying for you as you get through these early weeks of your pregnancy. I've also had miscarriages and understand the fear that can creep in during subsequent pregnancies.

Take care of yourself, and let your hubby pamper you!

Brandi said...

WAhoooo! Congratulations!
Praying for peace for you and lots of morning sickness to give you a constant reminder of the life growing in your tummy.

The only reason I pray for morning sickness is although it's miserable it's a reassurance of strong hormones:)

missy said...

Yippee!! I know you wanted this, so I am so happy for you. I'm glad it's you and not me though. Not that I'd mind another baby, but the whole pregnancy thing would be a bit overwhelming to me right now. Not to mention the fact that my hubby might question the whole thing :o) Oh yeah, back to you. Feel better soon.
Congrats.
Love,
Missy

Elizabeth said...

Yea! I'm sooooo happy for you, I know how bad you wanted this. I pray this baby is healthy and this pregnancy is uneventful- boring!

Take it easy!
