Week 4
We found out we were preggo! There were no other tell tale signs other then I was 2 days late for my period and I'm always on time.
We ran to walgreens and bought about $50 worth of tests, Redvines and Swedish Fish, all the essentials! Earlier in the week I had scratched my eye so I was wearing my glasses, which I really don't function well in. As I was trying to pee on the first test, my glasses fell off and I totally missed the stick. James was playing video games and said "Only MY WIFE would totally mess up a pregnancy test!!" So 30 minutes, and alot of water later, I peed into a cup (like a champ!)
I sat on the tub and waited the 3 minutes it said to wait and I saw the first little line was blue and I screamed "JAMES??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Don't play with me right now!!!"
"I'M NOT GET IN HERE!"
I, still sitting on the tub started crying in shock and James just came into the bathroom, looked at it and smiled.
"WERE HAVING A BABY, BABY!" is all I remember then I went into my ugly Oprah cry (that full on mouth open, snot and tears running down your face cry)
"I'm gonna get fat, and I cant go back to work, or school, my life is ruined, I'm gonna look like a cow, or a manatee, or whatever is big and ugly!"
Alot of reassuring and cuddling I finally calmed down, we talked over a bunch of things, and figured out what we had to do from there.
Week 5-8
Week 5 was very crampy.
Week 6-8 was hell.
I was one of those oh so lucky women to have ALL DAY SICKNESS! First, let me start off by saying everything came up. Water, ginger ale, gatorade, lemonade, yogurt, oatmeal, granola bars, nuts, crackers, preggie pops, tea, potato chips etc etc etc. I have a list of about 40 things we tried and I will never eat again.
Vomiting in the Buchanan house hold is an event it went a little something like this :
1) Start feeling sick
2) Yell "JAMES"
3) See James run
4) Puke my guts out (While this is happening James is rubbing back and being an amazing puking coach)
5) Get me washcloth
6) Walk me back to bed, get me to drink some water, tuck me in and
7) Repeat
I love that now, we are so in sync, that all I gotta say is JAMES and he comes a runnin' to the bathroom, from no matter where he is :) ( Yes ladies hes an amazing man. And no ya cant have him)
At the first visit to the obgyn I got some meds, they sometimes help, but alot of the time they came up too. After this experience, I am not lying when I say this will be my one and only. I aint doing this shit again!
