Week 6, Day 4

So a lot has happened since my last post. I went to the doctor for a u/s last week and found that I am not as far along in the pregnancy as I thought. The sono tech said that there was only the beginning of a pregnancy in my womb, no baby to see although I am definitely pregnant. I take that to mean that there was only a gestational sac in there at the time. Mr. Limabean Sr. was panicked, demanding to know whether or not I am pregnant and how far along I am. The sono tech told him I am definitely pregnant, but could not give any indication of the how far along part. Mr. Limabean Sr. was scared and just shut down. I on the other hand just summed it up to ovulating late (since I had had a 35 day cycle in April). I realized that I was only 4w2d when I tested positive for pregnancy and that it was even more of a miracle to me since I ovulated late and nothing was timed or planned. What a great blessing. So I was supposed to go to get another u/s this week, but I am putting it off until I am 8 weeks. That way there will be no questions and Mr. Limabean can see a strong heartbeat…or two.

Why do I say or two? Well, a few of my family members including myself have seen this vision of me with twin boys. I saw it before I had my first daughter, then my sister saw it and finally my daughter’s God mother. I am eating like crazy with this pregnancy and it is lots of protein. I have to eat every 3 hours or I start to feel sick and again, it can’t be junk, it has to be protein…steak and potato, beef stew and jasmine rice with ginger, sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. Don’t get me wrong I do want the occasional sweet, but the desire for protein is much more overpowering. Every pregnancy is different but with my first, I barely wanted food period. I had great loss of appetite, but not with this pregnancy. So, I have said from the start I feel it is a boy. I knew with my first it was a girl although I did not want to admit it, but I claim a boy with this one and continue to say so. We’ll know in 14 more weeks though. LOL!!!

This week my breasts are still sore and I don’t want anything to do with sex. I’ve had an aversion to chicken, but woke up this morning craving Chick-fil-A and went and got it and tore it up. Only half the sandwich though because I get sick if I eat too much. I also have a TART lemonade. I felt some indigestion coming on because I ate a bit more than I should have and am now munching on ginger snaps that my co-worker purchased for me yesterday.

Let me add that the fatigue has caused me to take naps at work much like last time. So far only one person here officially knows about the pregnancy, but I’ll let the cat out of the bag in a couple of weeks and after the u/s. The news is too good to keep for 12 weeks. LOL!!!
