The Best News

by Veronica on May 20, 2008

in Pregnant. Finally.

Yesterday was a strange day.

Actually, it has been a strange few days, but yesterday was stranger than most.

Yesterday, I was sick all day. I ate crackers and was able to cope, although having to make meals for Amy damn near killed me (2 minute noodles anyone?).

So I suffered through it, knowing that sometimes my wacky body and CFS makes me nauseous for no reason. I wasn’t particularly worried about it, I figured it would go away.

Then when I went to the toilet last night, I had a big gush of bright red blood. I say big, but it was probably only about a teaspoon full or so.

I grabbed a tampon, as you do and went about my business. I wondered about the colour (I never have bright red blood) but didn’t think anything of it, until I went to the loo just before bed and discovered that the bleeding had completely disappeared.

[insert much cursing of cycle here]

I waited until the morning, discussed it with Nathan (who wasn’t that interested, but I beat up on him until he paid attention to me. ie: I placed my very cold feet on his very warm legs) and then, once I found that there had been no more bleeding, I did a pregancy test.

Yes, that is indeed a positive result. The photo makes it fainter than it really is because the damn camera doesn’t have a macro feature, thus all photos have to be taken from 30cm away. It is a faint result still, although definitely, pinkly there.

And yes, today I am still feeling nauseous. Probably more so that yesterday, but crackers are good.

So, I am pregnant. FINALLY. 12 months of trying and the very worst, train wreck of a cycle is the one that works out. Heh.

Who says that stess stops conception?!

Congrats, I’m doing the happy dance (this is not a pretty sight)!! Now just take it easy over the next few weeks, digging along the fence line to plant mint is probably not a good idea! You may eat whatever you can keep down, play with Amy and swear at the mice with feeling but stay in the Zen zone.

Well, preggers at last. I am so glad for you. And there’s one thing I would like to say, only because you don’t deserve ALL the credit – “Good shooting, Nathan!! Well done, you.” And now back to our regular programming …

Memarie Lane May 21, 2008 at 12:08 am

You know, I’ve always felt that there is a certain amount of psychosis in morning sickness, having gone through it three times myself I feel qualified to say so. One look at that second line and your brain just can’t register it, so it takes the next three months to absorb the impact.

jessica @pianomomsicle May 21, 2008 at 12:12 am

Oh! OH! Congratulations!!!! When you were talking about how you were bleeding, i was like “She could still be preggo” and you ARE! Yay! i wish you the very best, mama of two!

Jenni May 21, 2008 at 12:27 am

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I’ve been desperately seeking a blogger pregnant on a smilar timeline as me. Hope the nausea gets better – ginger Altoids and Coke-a-cola are my savoirs (but not together.)

I’m jumping up and down for you!!! Yay!

Whew!

At least you can slow down on the sex. But now it’ll be the pregnant, hormonal “gotta have it right now” sex.

I commented before reading other comments, I hope mine isn’t repeating somebody else’s!

What did Nathan say???

Oh, I’m so relieved for you. I know what that’s like. I really do! I might have six kids, but do you see the five-year gaps between the sets of children? About a year of that is due to the same thing you’re talking about. NO FUN. But “obviously” things get ’round to working eventually.

I think worse are the people who wonder at you and go, “But you already HAVE four children! You don’t need any more!” (smack)

Have names picked out yet? Do ya? Can I suggest “Andy” if it’s a boy?

LOL

I’m running away now.

Woohoo!!!! I’m so thrilled for you!!
I was wondering the other day when you were talking about the spotting, because that could be implantation bleeding, but didn’t want to get your hopes up πŸ™‚
Take it easy now πŸ˜‰ And watch that bleeding πŸ˜‰

So, it was implantation spotting. Woho for babymaking! I bet you are just so damn relieved. Now, I am following your lead you know. Not fretting over it is how you managed to do it so I am going to try the same tactic right after I get my damn period!

Widdle Shamrock May 22, 2008 at 6:28 am

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

I am so pleased for you.

A BIG congratulations. And best wishes and prayers for a hassle free pregnancy.
