Party of Five

Ok so I'm so overdue on posting about this but I haven't been in the mood really. Not that I'm not super excitied but when you feel like crud all the time it's hard to act all cheery. Well I guess it's no surprise to anyone who would be reading this, since everyone knows by now, but yes we soon will be hearing "Brigham Family, party of five". I'm 14 weeks pregnant, baby #3 is due this July. I am very thankful for the gift of another chld and do not take it granted because I know so many others who struggle with ferility issues, my mom was one of them, so I know I'm very lucky in this department. But this does not stop me from feeling sorry for myself (which for the next several minutes I am going to do by having a whine fest so feel free to skip ahead, but it's my blog and I'll cry if I want too) when I'm throwing up everyday and walking around feeling like I'm falling short if being a mom to the 2 childen already here because there are days where I just dont function right. I of course knew it was a possibility to be this sick since I was with Emma, and I knew it was a possibility for it to go past the first trimester cause it did with Jacob, but when I got both the worst sickness ever (ok not worst ever, some people are hospitilized for months due to dehydration from their sickness, I know 2 people personally who went through this but whatever it's my complaining time) and it going on and on with no end in sight so far, I was not prepared. But still it's totally worth it in the end, and I would do it over to have the awesome kids I have been blessed with. But I do hope if I get the crazy idea in a couple of years to do this again, that I read this first and remember the daily throw up sessions, the constant headaches that Tylenol just doesn't cure and of course there's the indegestion and digestive issues that don't need going into. But once again I am very happy and can't wait to meet this little one. I think it's a girl but we'll see because my mom and a few others who are usually right at predicting baby's genders seem to think it's a boy. Jacob seems convinved it's s girl, and my friend's son who is usually right says it's a girl so it's all so confusing. With Emma and Jacob everyone was on the same page and we were all right so this is just strange! And no it's not twins, the doctor has looked around and after 3 sonograms in the first trimester we're certain there's just one! Well we'll find out in 2 weeks, and who knows maybe I'll be feeling better then. To be continued.......
