Seriously: Big News!

No joke. Baby #3 is on it's way. Everyone better bet on a boy. Seriously. I am 7 weeks and just had my first doctor appointment.


The little sprinkle had a good heartbeat and was measuring right on.



I am in a constant hangover/flu state. Minus all of the barfing. Very different from my first two. I have only thrown up once, but feel like I'm on the verge 24/7. Almost nothing gives me relief. Therefore I would say overall I feel worse. At least with the other two when I barfed 5 times a day, I had 5 different times that I felt better for a few minutes.  I am also super tired. Which I didn't experience with the other two either. My body just feels like it has the flu. So weak. Walking around picking up toys for just a couple of minutes makes me feel light headed and wanting to barf. Yuck. I am taking unisom, which may be the reason I'm not barfing, and it's obviously helping me sleep like a dream. Which is a good thing, because these pregnancy dreams are already out of control.

Cafe Rio sounds like the grosses thing ever. I craved and ate Chipotle yesterday. Seriously, what is happening?



I am due February 11th.

I started this pregnancy the heaviest out of all 3. I'm hoping to lose some pounds while I'm sick, and gain around 20 lbs total like I did with Boston. At least that would put me weighing less delivering this one than I was with Brighton.

This is the worst picture ever...

I'm excited to be at the end of my pregnancy in the winter this time. Although this heat sure doesn't help with nausea.

I'm still seeing Dr. Moore, and still love her. She assured me that I'm still her favorite/easiest patient.

I am strongly considering delivering this baby without an epidural again. I feel like the epidural affected me mentally postpartum...but that's another day, another blog post. (Or feel free to ask me if you're curious what I mean).

Side note: I didn't put this in Boston's birth story, but a couple of the nurses said that they were in helping with another delivery. Dr. Moore came in and said, "Hey, come help me next door, it'll only take like 20 minutes". Because she knew I would deliver faster than the labor they were already assisting on.  And then the nurse said, "And boy was she right!"

I'm really praying I have another successful, fast, no tearing, delivery. How crazy would it be if I ended up having to have a c-section or something? I would be totally bummed knowing how less traumatic my recovery is with a vag birth.

So there it is. I cannot beleive I will have 3 kids. Seriously, what is happening?

  3. Congrats Jodee! I hope the sickness goes away soon. Zofran was the only thing that helped me and it just took the edge off. It's no fun, but you get a beautiful baby out of it! So I guess its worth ita

  4. That MUST mean it's a boy!! Nothing like the other 2, right?? Hopefully the differences will stop there. (and the deliveries will be exactly the same). Congrats!!!

  5. Congrats again. I could tell you were feeling crappy the other day. Such a bummer. We need to combine our bodies (weird). My easy pregnancies. Your easy deliveries. I can honestly say, I had more anxiety being pregnant with #3, knowing the "what could happen". Good luck.

  8. Yay! Sending boy vibes your way. Although, if you find out it's a girl, can you please film Braden's reaction when you tell him and send it to me? Thanks.

    You look GOOD! But quit eating Chipotle, that's disgusting.

    Congratulations!

  9. Congratulations! I'm sad I won't be seeing you at Cafe Rio every week, though. And hey, I just went through doula training, so if you want help having that easy delivery (with or without an epidural), I would love to do it!

  10. Congrats and I will be thinking boy thoughts for you. Or you can borrow my two boys for a few days and be thankful for your girls :)

  11. Yay! Congratulations. I was thinking you might be because you looked like you didn't feel so good when I aw you at Cortneys wedding. I feel like morning sickness gets worse with every pregnancy probably because your body is so tired. Sending boy vibes your way!
