I almost always know when I am pregnant. Sometimes I'm "paranoid" that I am, when in fact I am not. But this month, I knew that I knew that I was. I told my husband that I knew that I was. He brought to attention the fact that I sometimes get this "paranoid" feeling about it. I just ignored him this time, because I knew that I was. I've known since the day after conception that I was. I could feel it. Then came the sore breasts and slightly crampy stomach. (I rarely get cramps around my menstruation. For me cramps= pregnancy.) Then came the nausea starting last Thursday night. I also had it on Friday and Saturday night. My cycle isn't even officially due until tomorrow, but I was so certain that I was pregnant that I took a test yesterday morning. It immediately popped up two lines!!! So #5 is on his/her way! It was a sort-of surprise in that we really weren't trying to get pregnant, as I wanted to try for a Fall baby in February. (It wasn't a surprise because I knew that I was pregnant from day 1.) Regardless of it being a surprise or a sort-of surprise, we are happy about it. It's funny that with our first pregnancy, Eric was really detached throughout the whole ordeal. I would try in many ways to get him involved or show emotion about the pregnancy. He is Mr. Steady, which is good most of the time! But I wanted him to show how excited he was about it. But nothing....not when Lilly moved around in my stomach, not at the dr. appt. hearing the heartbeat. The only time he showed a little bit of emotion was when he was at the first ultrasound and the little Lilly bean, who had been in a peaceful repose, fluttered about in my stomach whenever Eric laid his hand on my belly and started praying for her. That was it though, the only brief moment of emotion the entire pregnancy. Now after Lilly was born it was a different story. I was still in the delivery room and had no idea where my newborn daughter or her father was. Come to find out he was getting a ton of pictures together with her for over an hour. When we got the pictures developed there were MANY with Eric holding Lilly with a big grin on his face. Jump ahead to yesterday morning. I wondered how I would react when I found out for sure if I was pregnant. I wondered....okay, pretty much knew that I was. But when I saw both lines on the pee stick, I got a thrilling rush of elation! I have my first dr. appt. on Monday, December 10. It's a new baby and I'm going to a new dr while living in a new state. It's a little daunting, but I'll be thrilled to see little baby Kopp around the EDD of July 30. |
So I told Eric and he was Mr. Steady, as usual. HAHA! But when we were at the breakfast table talking with our little family about the new little Kopp in my belly. He started tearing up!!! I couldn't believe it, but I LOVED it!!! Now this may sound a little romanticized, but with every child I've grown to realize what a miracle life is. And I'm so thankful for every little Kopp that has came our way, is on the way and will come our way in the future.
