The last three days I’ve been feeling under the weather. I’ve been crashing around 10pm, which is earlier than normal for me. I’ve been feeling queasy, especially in the mornings, which I attributed to my nose running constantly all night. It’s been painful to nurse, but I blamed that on Amanda possibly teething again. But the clincher today was that my mouth started watering constantly, which to me is a dead giveaway.
On a suspicion, I decided to go out and get a pregnancy test this afternoon, and am shocked to discover that we’re expecting baby #3! I have such a jumble of emotions right now, mostly somewhere between excitement and terror! We thought we were being careful, so this is quite a surprise. Still, I know God has a plan for this little one, and He knew that after my last pregnancy, it would take a long while for me to muster up the courage to try again. I’m kind of glad He caught me off guard instead.
This is going to be a challenge. Eva will still be in a cast for at least three more weeks. She still won’t go #2 on the potty, so I have double the dirty diapers to change with an overly sensitive tummy and sense of smell. Amanda is resisting any attempts to eliminate nighttime feedings. If I could make it through this pregnancy with nausea no worse than what I’ve already experienced, I’d be eternally grateful! But just to be safe, I’m calling my doctor and asking for a Zofran prescription, just in case. With two little ones, I can’t afford to be incapacitated with nausea like I was frequently during my last pregnancy.
