I know, since I waited to tell everyone till I was 14 weeks, I have a lot of explaining to do. To be honest, I have known I was pregnant since January 9th... I hadn't told hardly anyone. I didn't tell my Mom even till I was 9 weeks. Do you know how hard that was? I just told my best friend about 2 weeks before I announced it to y'all. I guess there is a lot that goes with it. For one, Jamie's sister had a baby in February and then my brother's wife had their baby in March and I didn't want to "steal anyone's thunder."
You may think it was because I wanted to "make sure everything was okay." But that wasn't the case. I have always said that I would want to my close family and friends to know in case something did happen, they would be there for support. Honestly, close family and friends can back me up with this one because I had a miscarriage in November. I guess I will talk about this a little bit.... I was 9 weeks when I had the miscarriage and to be honest, I knew something wasn't right the whole time. I was so moody, Jamie and I were bickering over silly things.... all the time, I was so tired (to the point where I would take a nap, wake up and still be tired), and I was just unhappy. I wanted to be happy pregnant, but I wasn't. And I wasn't even connected to the pregnancy. So when something did happen, I was glad I had support from the ones I did tell. Thank you to everyone who helped me through that!
We didn't think we would get pregnant right away. The doctor said we should wait 2 periods, and we had all intention to do so, but I only had 1 period and then missed my 2nd.... that's when I took the test. This pregnancy has been so different. I am still tired, but defiantly not as bad, I feel relaxed, and HAPPY! I know I am pregnant and it feels great. I did have some nausea in the beginning. It was really hard for me to drink water. I know crazy! That is all I drink! I would get so thirsty and finally drink water and feel so sick afterward! I never did physically get sick, I just felt sick. More so around lunch time and after dinner, but I am happy to say that has went away! :) Now the cravings... yes I will talk about them. See I never had any of this with Carson. It is totally different!!! Like most pregnant women... I love Pickles!!!! Went though a jar in a month, which is fast in this house since it normally takes us about 6 months to eat a jar. And my big weakness is...... FRUIT!!! There I said it! lol A good craving right? I am crazy! I hardly ever eat apples.... I have eaten more apples in the last 3 months than I have my whole life; at least everyday, sometimes 2 a day! I ate 2 whole pineapples in a week! I love strawberries, peaches, grapes, applesauce and the fruit of the week this week is Mango! Yum! It really is nuts! My belly started sticking out early (at least to me) but now, my belly is starting to get solid and I am finally starting to look pregnant! I hate that in between stage. I thought about posting a pic, but um.... I will, just not yet. Sorry
Hope this gets everyone caught up!!! Love and miss you all!!!!
