Snap, Crackle, Pop....the baby makin didn't stop!
Baby Konrad due March 11th 2017. This is why I stopped blogging for awhile. The second I found out I have been miserable and very tired. I usually blog when all the kids are napping and for the last seven weeks, I've been napping too. Which isn't uncommon but I've been napping every single day.
So here is a timeline of someone who should know the signs by now...
I was walking with a neighbor on June 26th and her dog poop bag stunk. It was the first time since my last pregnancy that a dog poop bag bothered me. She told me to go home and take a test. So I did and it was negative (but I was really two weeks pregnant). Maybe too soon to show up or its because I peed on the stick around 9pm.
July 5th I was at the zoo with one of my friends and I was having a hard time pushing the stroller. I told her that I did eat breakfast but I wasn't feeling good and that I was light headed. I just wanted to tell her in case something happened and there she is with my four kids.
July 13th miss Remington Rae turned fourteen months. We were already starting to wean her off a bottle so when I woke up this morning with a gust of energy, I decided to boil all her bottle parts and pack them up. Does anyone else dread washing all the bottles at night? Cole and I will do rock, paper, scissors a lot to decide because we dislike it that much. It only takes less than five minutes but its the last thing we want to do.
So I started to boil the first set of bottles, I was feeding Kensington breakfast, and vacuuming the hardwood floors. I continued to clean them with our Bona spray and noticed I was short of breathe and huffing and puffing. I had to stop and catch my breathe a couple of times and I was like...what is going on? I ran upstairs, grabbed another pregnancy test out from under the sink and tested. I didn't wait the three or whatever minutes it tells you to wait. I saw the first line immediately and as the wetness slid to the left I said to myself "there's a faint line" and said out loud...."THERE'S A SECOND LINE!" I looked in the mirror and smirked that I was pregnant. Wow!
I heard Remington in her room waking up and I went in get her. Hugged her longer than normal and told her mamas pregnant :-) I'm not as sad for her as I was with Kensington because with Kensington I got pregnant before she was one and I felt like I never let her be the baby. Now with Remington, I'm sad that she will be the middle child. I don't know any middle children that don't have middle child syndrome. Yes, its a thing and it makes me sad so I will have to leave reminders throughout the house to give attention to Remington.
Now how on earth am I going to tell Cole. At the time he was having a really rough month at work and stressed out a lot. He puts a lot of pressure on himself so I was hoping for a great reaction, but anticipating a "what? how? (um we weren't blocking and he knew that), I'm going to have to work even later now." So as he was eating dinner and I was packing up all of the dried bottle parts right next to him and I told him "well we won't be needing these for nine months." I know he heard me but it took his brain a second to register it. His response couldn't have been better and he was happy also. Now he can't wrap his head around three teenage girls (if the third is a girl) running around the house demanding things.
