For all your lovely yays and happy thoughts! It's really a huge relief to finally talk about all this with my Internets; I kept sitting down to blog and I couldn't think of anything other than MY TUMMY HURTS MY HEAD POUNDS MY EYES ARE SLEEPY I WANT A NECTARINE. So I'd just sign off and watch some Murder She Wrote instead. Angela got me through some really rough nights.
So yeah! I'm knocked up!
I've got a lot to say on the subject, but I'll just answer a couple questions quickly, the ones that seem to leap to people's minds first.
Was it planned? Yes.
How have I felt? Terrible. Also: awful, miserable, angsty, and beside myself.
Oh no! So you're not excited? We're super excited. I just feel like I've been poisoned by a mean poisoner. So it's hard to stay chipper sometimes. But yes! We're happy dappy clams.
Will you find out if it's a boy or girl? Of course.
Do you think it's a boy or a girl? Leaning boy.
Did you KNOW before you KNEW? Everyone asks this and I'm not exactly sure what it means, but sure - before I tested, I felt a little dizzy and there was an absence of other symptoms I usually get around that time. We'd also worked it OUT for about 10 days in a row (sorry, oh squeamish ones, but I think we all know how tiny people are made), so this was no surprise situation.
How far along are you? 10.5 weeks. Week from Friday we get to see our first pic of the little buddy. Huzzah!
Much more to come, pals. Back to work.
And by boy, you mean - a boy robot.
ReplyDeletewhat else would i mean??
ReplyDeleteits all about robots.
ReplyDeletezzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Eeeeeeek! I'm so excited!!! And I haven't gotten that darn belly band in the mail yet. Ack! Today, today! I will! Aaaand, I have bunch of lovely, very much loved, very stretched out (!) maternity wear to pick through. Tanya (Dr. G) passed on some stuff, too. You can come shopping at my house! You ARE coming to Maine, right? RIGHT?
ReplyDelete*picking my nose*
ReplyDeletei like ALL OF THIS pregnancy talk. i'm real obsessed with like 3 things.
a) my husband's buttcheeks
b) my own buttcheeks
c) talking about pregnancy/babies
i hopez you get to feeling better soon, lovey dovey dove. i cannot wait for the freakin ultrasound, so i can say stuff like "awwww!" and pretend i see the head & nose & legs & stuff.
So, is the fruit and water thing a development from your... development? Or is that a straight up coincidence?
ReplyDeleteoh definitely related!
ReplyDeletesomething about fruit is really soothing to a bad tummy and it just tastes GOOD all of a sudden.
the quality of cali produce doesn't hurt...
and the water thing is also related. most other bevs taste too sugary or syrupy or thick...while water, in the words of my good friend michaela - just tastes like life.
Still so happy for you! Name him after me? Regardless of gender?
