Surprise!

First, a little background for those who don't know me.  I have a 4.5 year old from before I had WLS.  6 months post op from my sleeve, I got pregnant with #2, he is now 1.5.  Back in January we started trying for #3.  I had a chemical pregnancy/ early MC in February and again in March.  We took a few months off and then decided to try again.  My husband works out of town a lot so timing was not good the last two months.  With each of my prior pregnancies, I got sore boobs within days of ovulating and I always KNEW I was pregnant long before the positive home test (even with the losses, my symptoms were the same every time).  This month, hubby was out of town when I ovulated.  I knew there was a chance of getting pregnant, but had no symptoms so I figured this month was out.  We began discussing being done with two and I made up my mind that even though I always though I wanted a big family, we could do a lot more things with just two kids.  I told my husband that when I got my period I was going to start calling plastic surgeons to finally get my body looking decent.  I've been doing tons of research and was getting really excited about the prospect of having surgery rather than more kids....

Then I was late.  My cycles have been anywhere from 29 to 31 days lately, so I figured it was just going to be on the longer side.  Yesterday I went to do some errands and I had to come home because I was so tired I couldn't even think straight, uh oh!  Sure enough, I took a test tonight (day 33) and got the darkest positive I've ever seen!  The test line was so dark there was barely enough ink for the control line!  So, I guess we're not done with two, and mama's not going to get a new pair of legs any time soon!  After the two losses, I'm hesitant to plan ahead and get excited, especially since I've had so few of my normal symptoms.  I know, every pregnancy is different, but after 4 that all started the same, this is enough to make me cautiously optimistic.  I'll just feel better when I can see it on ultrasound.  Last pregnancy I didn't have one until 18 weeks, I'm going to request an early one due to the losses to help put my mind at ease.  So, I guess I'm pregnant again, lol. 

Congrats Paula!!!  Hmmmm I wonder if such a dark line so early means multiples .  All best!

Haha!  The funny thing is that I always joked about having twins for the third baby since I wanted 4 but my husband would only go as high as 3.  I guess time will tell.

Congrats...our bodies like to trick us...just when you have decided you are ok with what you have....bam...life throws in a surprise!  I also always wanted 3/4 babies...DH says 2 is it...we will see who wins!  :). I was hoping this pregnancy would be multiples...although I think my husband would have freaked!  Lol!   

How exciting...there will be time to fix mommy's body later...enjoy your little ones while you can!  

omg!! congrats!!!!!!!!! i've been kind of tired lately too. but it could just be hormones. who knows. but i'm excited for you!! i always wanted a big family too. 3 kids. (if i had the money i'd have 5!) but after my first kid i was like OH MY GOD how do ppl do that?!  i thought for sure my baby would be an only child. lol. and then time passed and i forgot the pain. and the horrible sleepless nights. and found myself getting kind of excited at the idea that i could possibly be pregnant again. but  realistically, it won't be a bad thing if i'm not. 

anyway, enough about me. congrats!!! isn't pregnancy the best? good luck on this pregnancy. i'm sure everything will go fine. doesn't hurt to be cautiously optimistic though.

*hugs*

See, we told you once the "momnesia" set in you'd be thinking about more!

Congratulations. Prayers going up.
