Pregnant!
I'm pregnant. I'm almost 9 weeks along, and my fetus has a heartbeat. Time for TMI! Skip if you're not interested.
We were told that we would probably not be able to get pregnant without fertility drugs, so we decided to try a very small dosage of Clomid. You have to wait till day 5 of your cycle (which starts with your period) to start Clomid. My period was late, and Brandon pointed out that we hadn't asked the doctor what to do if I didn't get my period (sometimes happens to me). I decided I'd call the doctor and ask, but first I wanted to double check that I wasn't pregnant... Only I was. So the doctors were totally wrong, and the celebrations commence! It took less than 4 months.
I've been tired for the past 6 weeks or so, which has made me very asocial. Some days I'm cranky and one day I was weepy bc a bunch of my shirts didn't fit. I have a tiny bump already. I was nauseous for a couple days, but only just threw up for the first time on Friday night. My pills make me nauseous every night, so last night I tried taking them with crackers to avoid a repeat of the vomiting incident. I've been hungry a lot, eating a lot, and gained 2 pounds around week 3-4, and one pound since then. My breasts feel absolutely gigantic, although they've only grown a tiny bit (no longer fitting my 32D but still kind of small for the 34D).
My nephews are now convinced that they are going to grow up big like me and get babies in their tummies. The 2 year old was totally confused when I showed him the ultrasound pics, looking back and forth from pics to my stomach and going "where?!" He looked at me and his mother like we were on drugs. The 4 year old was obsessed with my baby last night, and kept asking "where's your baby?" and then cuddling up to my stomach and patting it. He told me he wants it to be a boy baby (so does Brandon). The grandmas both want a girl. I just want one or the other!
So... yay pregnancy.
