Oops, we did it again!
Hmm, maybe “oops” isn’t the correct term… Maybe “Yay!” or “Holy crap, we’re insane” would be more suiting. At any rate, I am excited (and still in shock) to announce that we’re having another baby! I swore I wouldn’t tell people until I was further along, but darn it, babies are so exciting. I’m not very pregnant at all, just about four weeks by my calculation (which, in actuality means two weeks of actual pregnancy), but a little pregnant is still pregnant all the same!
I knew I was pregnant the past couple of days. First, I have had some serious insomnia which never happens to me (I have a sleeping disorder that makes me constantly sleepy). Second, I had a near orgasm the other day over the smell of garlic. No joke, I was roasting some up to put in mashed potatoes and could not get enough of the smell. I was tempted to pop a raw garlic clove in my mouth, but I decided that probably wouldn’t be such a smart idea. Third, I have wanted nothing but ooey gooey cheese and anything dairy. Plus, my boobs hurt like nobody’s business and I’ve been, well, a little “testy.” (And by “testy,” I mean a pretty major bitch.)
Last night, I had dreams about taking the pregnancy test and it coming back negative again (we’ve been trying since October). In one of the dreams, I bought a pregnancy test and brought it home, only to find that it wasn’t a test but rather some kind of baby wipe. I went out to get another test and got it home and it was some other random item. Gotta love those pregnancy dreams.
This morning, after that beautiful plus sign appeared (I tell ya, I have never been so excited to pee on anything in my life, aside from the other two pregnancies of course), I cleaned off the stick and replaced the cap. I handed it to Bug and asked him to give it to Turk, who was still in bed. Bug, thinking the pregnancy test was a thermometer (and I can’t blame him), tried to stick it in Turk’s mouth. Talk about a wakeup call…
Anyway, we are very excited and praying for another healthy pregnancy. I have a tendency to fret over miscarriage when I’m pregnant, so forgive me if I do it through blogging occasionally.
Thanks for letting me share my still early, but super exciting news! Now, to figure out a pseudonym for this one… Bug, Bean, and Boo? That has a ring to it!
CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting. I am so happy for you all.
YAY, congrats, Lindsay! I’m so happy for you!
Congrats! What a blessing.
I will be praying that everything goes smoothly for you, your family and baby.
CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooo excited for you!! Woohoo!!
What’s this mean, another Sept/Oct baby?? 
We’re going to have to keep you and Turk apart around this time of the year from now on! teehee
And, I like the name Boo for the babe. Cute and it goes. CONGRATS Linds!!!!
I had two dreams about being pregnant this week. Since I am post menopausal, it must have been about you.
Congratulations. All the best.
PS…be prepared…I plan on totally living vicariously through you and your pregnancy!
:)
Andi- TWO dreams… does that mean I’m having twins?? LOL
Maggie- The EDD is about 9/14. Coincidentally, the same EDD I had with Bug!
Thank you all! I appreciate the prayers and congrats so much.
That was the best laugh I’ve had all day. Cheers to you!
YAY!! Congratulations! Woohoo!!!
Yippee! Congrats, Lindsay. This is awesome news. Take care of you and the new little one.
I’ve decided to officially hang up my hat and retire from the babymaking business so I’ll simply live vicariously through your pregancy and baby stories.
WOOT. I am so excited for you and Turk.
Boo sounds like a good name. Ok a great name. Ohhh, what fun twin’s would be. I loved having 3. 4 is good too. Congrats and let me know if you need anything.
Congrats! I am happy for you.
Congratulations!! I’m happy for you.
