So
for those of you who didn’t get the memo…I’m pregnant again! It feels like
yesterday that I was writing about my pregnancy with Jagger and now two years
later I’m going for round 2. Everyone keeps asking me how I found out, was I
trying, am I finding out the gender and so on so I figured lets just put it all
out there once because I’m just too tired to repeat myself over and over J
Lets start from the beginning. Shai and I had always said we want our kids to
be close in age so I never even went back on the pill after Jagger. I’m kind of
surprised it took even this long for it to happen but needless to say we
weren’t trying, we weren’t not trying. I personally think this is best way to
get pregnant because there is less stress and anxiety and it happens when it’s
supposed to. I’m personally not down with scheduled sex but if it works for you,
awesome.
I
had a bunch of times I was sure I was pregnant but all were false alarms.
However one night I looked at Shai and told him I’m totally pregnant but this
time for real. He brushed me off because I got that feeling way too many times.
The next day the craziest thing happened, I went into J’s room when he woke up
and before I could even take him out of the crib he looked at me, smiled and
said baby. Now this kid was an early talker but I know every word he’s ever
said (don’t believe me, check Shais excel doc…seriously) and baby certainly
wasn’t one of them. I ran into our room with him in tow and he said it again
and kissed my stomach. We started to bug out a little but thought there is no
way this kid is a psychic. I immediately called Dr Kim and went in that day for
blood work…the next day I got the call, I was pregnant!
Side
note- apparently Jagger isn’t a genius or a psychic because this is pretty
common with kids because they are so connected with their mommy’s- don’t
believe me, Google it.
When
I found out I was just shy of 5 weeks, which in my books is way too early to
find out. Its actually torture because you cant tell everyone and in my case I
was already showing! My doctor swears its normal but I’ve never seen anything
like this. We started telling our family and close friends and everyone seemed
excited but don’t be offended if they’re not jumping up and down about the 2nd
baby, I guess they’re already getting neglected and their still inside you,
poor thing.
Everyone
keeps asking me what we are having and I hate to break it to you all but we are
not finding out with this one either. I know I know were psycho but I have to
say when I gave birth to Jagger and I heard the words meet your son I almost
died and I want that feeling again. Although I am pretty sure it’s a girl this
time. Why you ask, because I have already gained 9 pounds in 14 weeks! Yes you
heard right, 9 lbs.! Only a girl would torment her mama like this ;) Aside from
the weight gain, this entire pregnancy feels different. My first trimester with
Jagger I was full of energy, at the gym for hours every day and felt nauseous
one time. This time around I felt like I was gonna vom pretty much all day (but
never did) and could pass out at any given time. I went to the gym a few days a
week but would mostly just stand on the precore and pretend I was moving
(probably the explanation for my 9lb weight gain!) Believe it or not, I don’t
actually have a preference of one over the other. A boy would definitely be
easier as I have all the clothes and toys and I already know the difference
between a digger an excavator and a combine harvester. But between Jagger,
Tyler and Ryder we certainly don’t have a shortage of penises running around!
It would also be fun to have a hot pink nursery and braid my daughters hair and
have tea parties but then they grow up and turn in bitches and I’m not sure I
can handle that J In all seriousness I just want a healthy happy baby…that looks
like Jagger.
Great post!
