What a whirlwind of craziness over here lately! Firstly, I’m sharing here because it’s IMPOSSIBLE to “journal” or talk about what’s going on with me lately here without mentioning that.. yep.. I’m pregnant! Again. 😁
I had my confirmation ultrasound yesterday and it turns out that I’m 8w5d along already — still super early, but everything measured great and the baby’s heart beat was nice and strong. Due date is set for June 18, which is extra fun, because that’s four days after my birthday!
So far, IRL, only my parents, my mother-in-law and @operationkay10 know, and @nycnomad too of course, and we’re gonna keep it that way until I hit the 12-week mark, I think. At that point it’ll be December, so we’re thinking of sharing the news with the rest of family and friends over the Christmas holiday.
I’m SO exhausted basically all the time — I wake up tired most days — and the morning sickness with this one is more significant than with pep. I got so lucky with not having much morning sickness with him at all. Because of the differences I’m noticing, I’m kinda (really) hoping this one’s a girl. More realistically, because it’s so early, I’m just taking it one day and one week at a time.
What else is going on? Right now in our house, everyone is sick. Pep has had congestion and a runny nose for the past two days - trouble sleeping big time. Luckily today he seems to be doing a bit better, just in time for B and I to catch it. For us it seems to be more of a cough and sore throat kinda thing. Fingers crossed this passes very soon. Either way, I’m so grateful that I have off today for Veterans Day so we can take it easy and take turns napping in shifts. 😅
