on pregnancy {the fourth time around}

Yes. That is an announcement. I probably should have come up with some clever way to share the good news, but honestly I am too miserable to even entertain the idea.

So far this pregnancy has been vastly different from my previous three. I was hardly sick and a manageable tired before. Now, I could sleep all day and have realized the definition of "morning" sickness {or in my case, all day sickness}.

Is it possible to have an insatiable craving for something and at the same time be totally revolted by it? Taco Bell burritos fall into this category, along with pretty much every other food in existence. I am finding that cooking is nearly impossible, although I can eat most things that have already been prepared {not good for the budget}.

Don't even get me started on smells. And why is it that certain songs on the radio have the same effect? If I hear pretty much any song on 97.1 ZHT I can feel the chunks rising in my throat.

I have missed making all the yummy treats and soups that are usually a part of my Autumn cooking repertoire. It makes me sad just thinking about it. Hopefully I can make up for it with scrumptious cuisine during Thanksgiving and Christmas time! Please let me feel better by then!!


Despite the current misery I am so excited! Sure, I'm not really looking forward to another c-section and everything that comes along with it, but I can't wait to mug on baby cheeks, smell baby neck, and just be able to cuddle another little one {the babies I watch at the gym are just not cutting it!}.

How did I know I was pregnant? Went to Dollar Tree and bought a test, of course Ü

But I knew before that. I seem to always know. This time I knew because I started having crazy dreams, like the one where I was on a cruise ship and met Pierce Brosnan, became besties with him, and we got into all sorts of shenanigans together {think Suite Life On Deck}.

One day I took a nap, and then I really knew.



p.s. never type the word "pregnancy" into a flickr search. You'll see lots of naked pregnant women showing off their bellies and stretch marks. Who wants documentation of that?! Seriously.
