So it begins…
I thought I would have some reprieve this week before feeling pregnant. After all, at a little over four weeks, my baby is smaller than a single letter in this blog. But apparently, I was wrong. Apparently, a teensy little embryo has the ability to completely mess with my entire body.
I am beyond exhausted. It’s that kind of exhausted where I can’t think of words for simple things like “ruler” and end up calling it an “inches stick” instead. It’s the kind of exhausted where I have to keep moving because if I sit still for even a moment, I’ll pass out. Part of this is my sleeping disorder, which is bad enough when I’m not pregnant, and rediculous when I am.
I took the kids to Costco today to fill up our cart with stuff I didn’t come for but realized we “needed.” Before we started shopping, I bought the kids and I some cheap Costco lunch. Normally, I rather enjoy a Costco hot dog now and then, and their chicken bakes are awesome too. Today, everything tasted like cardboard. There goes that baby messing with me again.
Yesterday, I was still in a little bit of shock about actually being pregnant, so I took another pregnancy test. I know tests come back darker as the hormone in your body develops, but holy moly this thing was way darker than the day before! I suppose that’s an awesome sign!
Bug informed me yesterday, “Mama, you have two babies in your belly!” and insists that there is one boy and one girl. Where he ever got the idea of two babies, is a mystery to me. He has no idea what twins are, or that women can even be pregnant with more than one baby. I am going to be shocked if he is right.
Whew, speaking of exhausted, I cannot stop yawning. I think I had better lie down for a bit while the kids are asleep. Anyone have some extra energy they want to send my way?
Hi! I hope you don’t mind, I found your blog through babycenter (I have a sept 05 baby). I love reading your thoughts…and I wanted to share that when I was pregnant with my third I was exactly the same way - beyond exhausted! And everything was felt right away…I found out as early as you did!
Congratulations on your pregnancy and I hope you can get some naps in (not so easy with two other ones!)

Danielle! Long time to talk! I absolutely don’t mind, in fact, I love that you commented and enjoy the blog. Good to know what I’m feeling is normal. I surprisingly was able to get two naps in today, I was shocked!
I wish I could send some energy your way but unfortunatly I am so tired I could collapse at any moment too!
Now, baby, you have 9 more months to mess with mommy…can you at least cut her slack in these early months?? — There you go Linds. I had a talk with baby boo. Let me know if it helped any.
Also, I can tell you are super duper tired cause you (I think accidently) called your son by name, and not Bug.
And…I’ll be surprised if your lil man is right and you’re having twins!! Do they run in the fam? They say kids can pick up on those type of vibes. Who knows?
Inches stick? Hah! You slay me!
Ann- No way girl, I don’t want yours, you need it!
Maggie- Thanks for the baby pep talk. Not sure it worked, though.
Thanks for catching my name mistake. You’re right, wasn’t supposed to be there.
As for twins in the family? My mom and dad are both twins (not to eachother, eww), and my mom’s brother and sister are twins. So, it’s definitely there.
Heather- I wrote that, hoping it’d give you a giggle. Good to hear it worked!
HE WAS RIGHT!!! Bug called it!!! His big brother intuition was dead on … momma has two babies in her belly!!! You go Bug!!!
