Our Wee Home is Expanding

by Mommy on June 18, 2012

I truly never thought I would be posting these 3 words ever again, but  ”We Are Pregnant”! Yup, that’s right, I don’t think anyone is more surprised than my husband and I.

I had finally decided to put it behind me, and move on with our life.  I signed up for a 1/2 marathon, decided on a reduction and even started going through the baby stuff I was hoarding.  We also bought a new house, which I am now thinking it going to be too small, but thankfully babies are just little (although they come with a lot of packaging).

While we’re super pumped to be parents again, I am extremely sick.  I’ll save you the details, but all I’ve pretty much been able to do it lay in bed and eat crackers (if my head hasn’t been in the toilet).  I’m trying to keep up with deadlines for blogging, but in case you haven’t noticed,posts have been minimal, and my Twitter account and Facebook updates have been nearly non existent.

I’m hoping this will all pass soon enough. Last time the nausea went away around 7 months and then heart burn kicked in so I have something to look forward to…

According to my calculations, I’m nearly at the 3 month mark and baby is due January 1st, 2013.

So, please bear with me as the posts are slow coming.

Aww, congratulations! So excited for you. I love babies. I am sad DH doesn’t want to have anymore (we have 2 boys). Hope you start to feel better soon!

Mommy June 18, 2012 at 8:57 pm

I think after this one, I will be done :) I am not into morning/all day sickness… just not my thing!

samijoe June 18, 2012 at 8:53 pm

Due New Years Day eh?? I lived through one of those…maybe you’ll have better luck at springing ‘Baby New Year’ than I did (my boy came Jan 3).

Many, many congrats to you and your family! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your nauseau goes away, but mine never did with both kids (see I’m such a downer?). In any event, a happy and healthy baby is all that matters.

YAY!

Mommy June 18, 2012 at 8:58 pm

I know.. what are the chances of that? Well,,, actually,,, if your first day of your last… all right, I wont get into the details, but you know the chances!

I pretty much know what I’m in for this time around, just hoping it will ease up a little bit, especially with another little one at home!

Kathryn June 18, 2012 at 8:54 pm

YAY YAY YAY!! Congratulations, Lynette!!!!! :)

You know I once read that the best way to make sure that you get pregnant is to get rid of all our baby stuff, make big new career plans and tell absolutely everyone you know that you are done having kids. Sounds like the author may have been on to something! LOL

Mommy June 18, 2012 at 8:59 pm

Thanks Kat

I know, but I was truly ok with having a little family of 3… we had tried so long with no success that I just let it go…. life… it’s so interesting!

Kathryn June 18, 2012 at 9:17 pm

It sure is! Interesting and awesome! :)

Laura June 18, 2012 at 8:57 pm

Congrats Lynette!!
So happy for you and the family, hope the sickness passes soon!!

mamawee (ashley picco) June 18, 2012 at 9:03 pm

congratulations! I really hope the m/s goes away – I was one of the unlucky ones that was sick the whole time…..with both my kids

Jody @ Mommy Moment June 18, 2012 at 9:03 pm

Truly the best news I’ve heard all day. I am so happy for you Lynette!

Laura S June 18, 2012 at 9:04 pm

Congrats Lynette!

Amy D. June 18, 2012 at 9:07 pm

Congrats! I empathize with your all-day sickness and pray it is short-lived.

Soozle June 18, 2012 at 9:14 pm

Oh wow!! CONGRATS! :-D

Julia June 18, 2012 at 9:19 pm

Oh my goodness!!! Huge congrats. I know how evil all day sickness can be. Are you taking diclectin? It helped me, as long as I remembered to take it faithfully. Seabands, sniffing a lemon and ginger tea helped a bit too. Hopefully it passes quickly for you. YAY a new wee one. :)

D Schmidt June 18, 2012 at 9:26 pm

Congratulations :)

pam June 18, 2012 at 9:29 pm

I love hearing about baby news, but hate hearing about mommy sickness.

Congrats! I got pregnant with my son after 5 years of trying when I had completely given up and moved on. I even started fertility treatment and gave up, accepting it for what it was. Then a year later we were pregnant…then one more after that.

Alyssa June 18, 2012 at 9:36 pm

Yay congrats!!! Due in January too!!! So happy for you!

SassyModernMom June 18, 2012 at 9:42 pm

Shirley June 18, 2012 at 9:49 pm

Congrats Lynnette! So excited for you and your family!!!!

Heather June 18, 2012 at 9:58 pm

Congratulations! I was sick the whole time with Chelsea, so I can relate and empathize. I was elated the day she was born… both for her and that I didn’t feel like throwing up anymore :)

Natalie @Nat_Rea June 18, 2012 at 10:02 pm

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congratulations!
I know ALL about nausea – thankfully mine only lasted 6 months though :) Get some Preggy Pops and sleep as much as you can.
So happy for you.

amber June 18, 2012 at 10:02 pm

Congratulations, hope you start feeling better soon.

nicolthepickle June 18, 2012 at 10:10 pm

Congratulations! Don’t feel down, pregnancy’s aren’t always the same. Maybe the sickness will go away faster this time.

Multi-Testing Mommy June 18, 2012 at 10:10 pm

Lisa June 18, 2012 at 10:47 pm

Wow! Congrats Lynette. Even though you may not appreciate it now the sickness is a good thing. It means the baby is doing well.
Hopefully it will subside a bit soon:)

Maria @amotherworld June 18, 2012 at 10:55 pm

Eileen June 19, 2012 at 6:30 am

Congratulations to your whole family!~
Hope that you will get through the urping very soon…and if not, well, babies are TOTALLY worth it all!:)
With my 6 kids, my very first, born in January was my favorite pregnancy…not far along in the summer, had a great fall, an exciting holiday season that took my mind off the waiting and enough time to recoup and put things away…rest a week or so and then my daughter was born Jan. 8th. It was awesome!

Kelly@ In EVerything June 19, 2012 at 8:15 am

COngrats:) Love surprise babies!! Praying the morning sickness leaves a little earlier and you get to enjoy the pregnancy:)

Jennifer June 19, 2012 at 8:59 am

I am Super excited for you! I know how hard this road can be! Such an lovely way to ring in a new year! Can’t wait to hear all about a new little one and see all those adorable photos to come

Agnes O. June 19, 2012 at 9:39 am

Wow, congratulations! I hope the sickness passes soon.

angela m June 19, 2012 at 10:17 am

Congratulations :-)

Jeannette Laframboise June 19, 2012 at 10:47 am

Wow! Congratulations! You must still be in shock I’m sure! ;-) I do so hope that the nausea abates and you are able to feel better…my first 2 children I had no nausea whatsoever but for my last child, I was sick as can be. It did settle down after I got through the 1st trimester so hopefully that will be how it is for you.

How exciting though, nothing better than a new baby. I do know how you are feeling…my children are now 28, 25, and 11…yes 11. I thought I was not having any more babies but…it happens and while it was shocking it was also a wonderful experience. Take care of you! Here’s hoping you feel better soon! XO ;-)

Sarah (brattypants) June 19, 2012 at 11:57 am

Nolie June 19, 2012 at 1:45 pm

CONGRATULATIONS! I had the nausea thing my entire pregnancy. My doctor ended up giving me medication to help with it that is safe for the baby.

alissa apel June 19, 2012 at 5:52 pm

CONGRATS!!! That’s the way it goes…when you least expect it something happens. That’s exciting!
