A funny thing happened on the way...

To the hairdresser.

I peed on a stick.  It said I was pregnant.  PREGNANT!!  FOR REAL!!!!  OK, it didn’t happen on the WAY to but before I went to the hairdresser.

So let me backtrack….  Paul and I have been trying to get pregnant, so this is anticipated and a hoped for outcome.  But I kept getting my period.  So I went to the OB and he gave me a prescription and then I went out and spent $200 for fertility drugs.  That was a Wednesday, $200.  On Thursday, Courtney and I were off to our weekly romper room jaunt and I was feeling a little nauseous.  And the next day, a little nauseous.  On a Sunday, I was supposed to get my hair straightened.  You know, lots of chemicals on my head.  So I thought I’d do the responsible thing and I peed on a stick.  And, well, yeah.  Pregnant.

I have to say, I was pretty shocked.  I mean, I’d just had my period.  I’d just spent $200 on drugs.  I’d just spent time talking to the OB, we had a good chat.  Paul was doubly shocked.  He wanted to know if I’d peed on 2 sticks.  I hadn’t because, well, I only had to pee once.  So I cancelled the hair appointment and later in the day, I peed again.  Pregnant.

I called the OB back and they got me in right away.  The woman asked me how far along I was, I told her I really had no idea, maybe 8 weeks.  She goes, “Really?  You think so?”  So they brought me in and took some blood and when the nurse called me back the next day, the word was 7-8 weeks.  For realz.

It turns out what I thought was my period was implantation bleeding.  Go figure.

So baby makes 4.  Well, in October, baby will make 4.  In the meantime, my first trimester is coming to an end and like the first go around, I feel good.  Fine.  No problems.  I had 3 or 4 days of nausea and that’s it.  This has put a serious cramp in my weight loss program, you know, as it should.

Segundo

So, another baby.  Courtney and her little friend, Segundo, will be just under 2 years apart.  I’m anticipating that Courtney is going to be a huge help, you know, changing diapers and helping with 3am feedings.

AHHH PREGNANT!!
