Since I last posted on this blog many things have changed in my life.
Little Donna is 4 now, loves her princesses and is certainly not my baby anymore!
I got married a few months ago and gained a bonus son that is 2.
I now own a farm with goats and bees and a duck.
Life has a different viewfinder from 5 years ago that's for sure!
I am now 4 weeks 4 days pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy ... That is so strange to me, 4 years ago I thought I was done... God had other plans.
Let's fill you all in on the last couple weeks.
First off I track my ovulation like people track the tides, its like clockwork and it never misses being on time!
My husband and I "planned" on waiting 6 months after being married to adjust to married life before trying for a baby.
Ovulation #1 went by smoothly with no problem. 1 month down 5 to go.
Monday:
4 days before my scheduled, always reliable, like clockwork ovulation #2 we were intimate... Which is supposed to be a safe zone, since sperm only live 72 hours... Well that is, unless your body decides to ovulate a day early... Which happens to be the case here.
Wednesday :
So the day I ovulated I had a dream I was pregnant. The next morning I told my husband that I think we should try the following month for the baby and that I felt we needed to get pregnant sooner than the 6 month wait we had discussed. All the while, not knowing I was pregnant already. He said lets pray about it so we did.
Thursday: we went to the renaissance fair in town, dressed in cute ren fair outfits we have (I have a whole tote of ren fair clothes). I can normally wear my bodice fully synched, no problem, I do it all the time. About an hour in I loosened it , then another hour later I loosened it more about another hour later I felt like I couldn't breathe and I took it off. What?? That has never happened to me!
The next thing that happened was WEIRD! this old lady walks up touches my belly and says "are you expecting?" Knowing "darn well" I ovulate that day and that we spaced it out right I said no. Unbeknownst to me, I already had a pretty little fertilized baby making its way down the fallopian tube. How did this carny know I was pregnant already?
I did feel something going on in my body i chalked i up to the heat and later that night I had a Gaul stone attack and pass a very painful Gaul stone which wiped my body out! I was very tired after and was in alot of body aches and pains. About 3 years ago I developed a Gaul bladder disease which causes massive amounts of stones. And when they pass hurt like a million little razor blades attached to a steal toe boot kicking you in your side for 45 mins. I have found that Herbalife aloe elevates them well and helps dissolve them so I have been drinking that to help! However the doctor still unsure why I haven't gotten it out said "are you sure you don't want it removed?" My response : god put it in there... So he recommended apple cider vineager and apple juice (I've heard this before) and that was the plan for the next few days!
Friday: we went to visit our friends farm. We go nearly every month for a weekend. Friday went fine but Saturday I felt like poop the whole day!! I felt drained, but I put on a great fake smile and cheery disposition for most of the day. I gained some energy back around 6-7 when we went to a friends house and had a camp fire roasted marshmallows, and had rabbit for the first time! That was yummy!!
Cute little side note our little buck is only 2 weeks old and Kyra was staying
at the farm for 2 weeks so she brought him with her, cause he is her bottle baby this year. And however he still doesn't eat solids, while toasting marshmallows he ate one hahah it was adorable!!
We had an amazing time hanging with Grace and her family until late in the evening (it was like 1 am before going to bed)
We went back to the house and went to bed.
Sunday: I woke up the next morning a ZOMBIE!! I did NOT want to get out of bed, I was SO tired! I chalked it up to not going to bed till late and dragged my butt out of bed. I started feeling "stuff" going on "down south". I am very sensitive and can feel when anything is a miss in my system. I thought maybe my body was having indigestion from first time rabbit? Maybe I'm feeling weird cause I stayed up late? Maybe it's due to the heat?
We went to church. Relief society I felt like crap but mustered through it. I went into sacrament meeting and I just felt so drained I was gonna pass out. I have no idea how I made it through all of the meeting but I did. I went back to the house and took a nap. I just felt sick as a dog. Maybe I had food poisoning? maybe another gaul stone was prepping to come out? Omg maybe I'm pregnant? Was the old wierdo at the ren fair psychic? I hurry and calculate in my brain. Yep today would be implantation if I were, which would explain the cramping feelings.
No no no I'm just tired because of the Gaul stones.
We head in the road home. About 20 mins into the drive I can keep it to myself anymore, I have to tell my husband cause this baby thing won't get out of my head!
I tell him I think I might could be pregnant and that I am feeling cramping which I think is implantation.
He tells me there's no way I would know this soon, I tell him, I know my body.
I could see on his face he was terrified! I was like ohhh poor guy.. But in my heart I knew I was right.
5 mins later a Gaul stone hits .. HARD!! it lasted 45 mins and was just excruciating! Especially since we were driving. I had nothing to help with the pain. I used energy work an even had Jeremy help with it to get the pain to pass. I think it shocked him how fast and well it worked. We had never experienced anything like that to date, in our marriage. .. I rested for a couple hours, feeling completely drained from the attack. Then I had another one ... My dear sweet husband instantly put his hand on me and started working the energy. It went away in about 5 mins and I fell asleep. And I didn't wake up till we got home.
Monday I was just DRAINED those Gaul stones took every ounce of energy out of me! I tried to go to Monday afternoon cards and almost fell over!! I went home and napped. I had a dream about a baby. I woke up and still felt awful, I figured I needed to call my doctor and see what he could do. The earliest he had was Thursday. We made the appointment but just to make sure I bought a couple pregnancy tests a few weeks before in preparation to being pregnant. I took the test. It said no.. I threw it away.
Tuesday: The next day I had some energy so I went to the nutrition club where dawn weighed and measured me.. My body fat was down muscle was up lost a ton of inches but GAINED 2 in my boobs??
My friend even questioned me. I told her I thought I was and tested but that I got a negative, and that my period wasn't even due for another 4 days (Saturday). So we wouldn't know for sure for another week, but because of the Gaul bladder issue I didn't know what symptoms were from what ailment!
Wednesday
I felt like garbage all day AGAIN. Took 2 naps! That night I took another pregnancy test it also said no. I thought I may have seen a line so I pulled out the test from 2 days ago and it was positive.. Wait what ?? Why is there a line there?? This confused me. I called Jeremy down stairs and explained it all to him. He said we could get a blood test tomorrow and find out for sure since we were going to the doctors office anyway.
About an hour later while brushing my teeth .. Puukeeeeeeeee everywhere!! That was confirmation enough for me!! I was definitely pregnant!! Jeremy again didn't believe me.
Thursday we went to the appointment. They did a urine pregnancy test, it was negative. He still ordered the hcg blood test since my period was in a day so they levels may not have been high enough for a test to detect. He was getting blood work for the Gaul bladder done anyway so why not add one more test.
At 2:45 I called the office I was put on hold for 15 mins till the doctor could get on the line .. So right at 3:00 he said I was pregnant and had a 23 hcg level and that my Gaul bladder was "being jacked up" I told him duhh I knew that, but I cared more about the pregnancy.
So there it was I was pregnant again..
But this time I'm married.. It will be a different experience I'm sure!
I thought about if I should do a new blog for the new baby. I decided to keep writing in this one. So here it is.
