Expanding

We are growing by another two feet!! We are really excited! Beau loves babies and I can't wait to see him interact with a little brother or sister.

It's been another trying time to get pregnant. I had another miscarriage before getting pregnant again. I hope this isn't a trend. But to look on the bright side, if there is a bright side, I don't know I'm pregnant for very long. Two to three days of knowing we are pregnant before I miscarry. It would be a lot harder if I was any farther along.

I took a pregnancy test when I thought I was a couple days late and waited the appropriate time to see if there was a positive line. There wasn't and Travis and I were disappointed. Travis threw it in the trash and I had a full day ahead of me so I got busy. When I was back in bathroom later that day, for some reason I wanted to pull the test out of the trash and see if anything had changed. I usually leave my tests out on the counter to look at them throughout the day. I know, I'm weird. So I got it out of the trash and THERE WAS A LINE!!! It was faint and I know it says that a test is void after 10 minutes, but I knew it wasn't a water mark-that it was a legit line. I waited another couple of days and splurged on a digital test since those are a lot easier to read. And right away it said, PREGNANT! We were thrilled and kept our fingers crossed that this one was a keeper.

My morning sickness has been different this time around. When I was pregnant with Beau, I couldn't get out of bed without needing something to eat. Travis would have to make me a piece of toast before he left for work. I don't feel as sick in the mornings this go around. Which is a blessing when I have to get up and get Beau started with breakfast before I find time to get me something. When it really hit me this time was around lunch time and 3-4 in the afternoon. I would get so hungry and sick! Nothing sounded good and I couldn't force myself to make anything. Beau and I did a lot of driving to the closest drive-thru for me to survive! One afternoon we even drove to Cafe Rio, which is 20 minutes away, to get a pork burrito. I ate the WHOLE thing!! And then I felt sick, but it was so yummy while I was eating it.

I'm already starting to feel better which is a lot sooner than before! And I think I would have been feeling better even sooner if I hadn't gotten a cold. That totally took a lot out me, but I'm over it (except for a stupid cough) and starting to feel motivation creep back in. Hopefully, it's smooth sailing the rest of the way!
