Why I’ve Been Quiet and The Big News

Well I don’t know if any of you read through my cryptic post the other day titled “Life Happens,” but that’s exactly what has happened. A new little life is cooking in my oven.  If you still don’t understand, yes, I’m pregnant! :)

It was shocking news. Very shocking.  And I’ll spare you the details as to why.  But now that the initial shock is over, we are very excited.  I’m scared to death though.  Really.

And unfortunately for me when I get pregnant, that means I am sick as a dog for the first 3 months.  Well that’s what happened with my daughter, and the day I found out about this one, I got very sick that same night. It was awful. And I’ve been in bed ever since all day long.  Everything is grossing me out, even the computer, so I haven’t even been on my laptop in almost 2 weeks.  And that means I haven’t read any of your blogs, responded to anyone’s emails, and definitely haven’t decorated anything. When I mean I’ve done nothing, I’ve done absolutely zero.  We’re lucky our lights are still on in the house since I remembered to pay that bill.

I’m going to the doctor tomorrow so I’ll get all the details then.  And at least the doctor did call in some nausea medicine for me last week and that has helped a lot, but then some days it does nothing.  Weird.

I had big plans to make all sorts of pretty Christmas crafts this year and was so excited about it.  But ummm, that’s likely not happening now.  Hopefully I’ll start to feel normal again soon and get back on a regular posting schedule, but just letting you all know there is a good chance I’ll be in and out a lot.  :)

So that’s the big news!  Are you shocked?

xxoo,

    Congrats! I completely understand how you are feeling. Sometimes nothing is very much in order, but growing a baby is just unseen work. I hope the time passes quickly for you and soon you are enjoying all the baby decorating. Hugs!!

  6. Kim@SandandSisal says

    Congrats! I was started to get really worried about you and was going to call you today to find out if you were ok! Pregnancy dibilitates me also, so I feel your pain… uh… nausea! So very happy for you!

  7. Tracie@cleverlyinspired says

  14. Paula Montalvo says

    Congrats!! I hope you will be feeling better real soon. I myself just back to blogging after a long absence…..you will when you feel better again. Be Blessed!

  15. TheirMommyHisWife says

    Congratulations!! I can totally relate.. I have twin 6 wk old little girls and that was my third pregnancy. My hubby says he’s never seen someone be able to barf so much. lol…
    Please take it easy! I wound up on hospital bedrest for 62 days the girls were in the NICU for 8 days. I’m so thankful to be back at home and I’m just now starting to get some sort of “normal-ish” routine. (too bad there’s not much housework in that routine, but oh, well..)

    I pray the yucky days don’t last long and you are able to relax and enjoy this time of one of the most special things, “crafting” a baby!

    Congrats! What a great surprise for you guys…:)

    My Dad is an OB/GYN…I could tell you some stories from my youth…and he says that if you keep some crackers and lemons by your bed (or with you) that it helps a lot. When you feel sick, suck on a lemon and be sure to eat some crackers. Also…take your prenatal vitamins at night instead of in the morning. I was sick as a dog with my daughter, and once I switched the time I was taking my vitamins…it helped a WHOLE lot.

    Just take it easy and enjoy the time. Before you know it, you’ll be busy, busy, busy.

    Not shocked at all! I had a suspicions when you posted that life was crazy. My first thought was, “She’s pregnant!” Huge congrats! Very exciting!!

  21. melissa*320 sycamore says

    Congratulations, Emily! Our #5 was a complete surprise, but he is a complete blessing to our family. You take care of yourself and that precious one inside…we’ll still be here when you are feeling up to coming back :)

  23. Amanda Eck says

    1st off congrats!!! 2nd- sooo funny- I was sitting here this morning and your name totally popped into my head and I was like “I wonder what she’s been up to” and then I headed over here to read this! LOL So happy for you and so sorry you are feeling so bad. Praying for a quick 1st tri-mester!! Sour lemon drops saved my life- thats all I could stomach for weeks with my pregnancies.

  24. Cheri says

    So exciting! Maybe you will feel better and get on with the projects soon!!! What a blessing!!! My devotional today was “I knew you before you were formed” And then I read your post just after this! So appropriate! There are no surprises for God!!!

    Congratulations!! And if you can handle a little friendly tip: Get a box of good quality ginger snaps and nibble on them – the work wonders! I sadly did not figure this out until my 3rd pregnancy :( Hope you are feeling better SOON!

  28. Cara says

    Heidi is right. A baby is the ultimate creation! I can’t wait to meet my new niece or nephew, and the boys are happy they’re going to have another cousin. Praying the barfing lets up sooner than expected. Love you!

  31. Karina Bravo says

    Congratulations!!! How exciting! baby= new decorating ideas! im excited to keep reading all about it! Feel better and we`ll be here. be good to yourself, your new project takes some extra care!

  36. suezi gurzi says

    Congratulations! this may sound weird but jelly beans! i was told that from a friend about eating them to help with nausea while pregnant. didn’t believe her. but i certainly got desperate enough to try them out and it did help…A LOT! good luck!

  37. Brook@BeingBrook says

    Congrats on the new baby! I feel you on the sickness. I had terrible morning/all freaking day sickness with my kids. The only thing I can accomplish during pregnancy is being pregnant and a shower every once in a while! Hope you get feeling better soon.

  41. elz says

    Congratulations! I’m not terribly shocked; I always suspect people are pregnant when they’ve been gone awhile! It’s just that I love babies. And, yay! Babies are awesome.

  43. Amy says

    Congartulations! I am right there with you girl : ) We are due for #4 to arrive on June 25…ish. I’ve been better is all I can say about the “all day sickness.” There’s just nothing “morning” about it. Good Luck!

  45. Jami says

    Congrats!!! I know how you feel but I won’t be productive because my little one just arrived! You’ll wanna for sure check out Zorfran! It was the only meds that consistently made me not feel ill!

    Congrats again! Hopefully its a smooth quick pregnancy!!

  56. nicole birmingham says

    Congratulations! Take care of yourself and get some rest. We will be here when you return!

  61. Centsational Girl says

    What do you mean you’ve done nothing? Girlfriend, you’re doing everything that’s most important in life right now! Growing a little one! I remember that sick feeling, I had it to, yuck! But remember the middle trimester is much easier, soon you’ll be there! Chin up friend, you’ll be back in no time and we will all wait for your fabulousness. Till then, think happy thoughts and congratulations!!!!!

    Thrilled that you’re having a new little baby. Sometimes unexpected events turn out to be the biggest blessings. I think that’ll be true for you. Hugs, and hope you feel better soon!

  78. Emily says

    Awww… congratulations! I’m sorry you feel so bad. Hopefully the second trimester will treat you better. Being a mother of a toddler and a newborn, I can definitely say that two is challenging, but SO much fun! :)

  87. Amy E. says

    Oh wow – same EXACT story here!!! I loved reading this knowing that I’m not alone =) Congrats and hope you get feeling better soon!!

  90. Tluu says

    Reading your announcement made the memories of the all day nausea I expereinced with my 2nd baby flood right back into my stomach & throat! It’s something I’ll never forget!!! The pain of delivery? Shaa… Whatever! I would do delivery over and over! I’m praying you wake up tomorrow morning feelng revived full of energy and not pukey! Congrats & good luck. I’m sending you happy, healthy vibes…

  94. Pam says

    congratulations! been there too~ hope you are feeling better very soon and can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and the up coming holidays. Many blessings to you and your family.

  95. Kathryn Griffin says

    Congratulations! Children are truly a blessing from God! Hopefully your morning sickness will not be too severe! Happy for you. Hope your Sunday is grand. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse

  96. Janise says

    I had the same problem with sickness for 4 months. The only remedy I found was to treat it as though I had blood sugar problems. I started my day sucking peanut butter from a spoon AS SOON as I awoke. This protien would replenish my blood sugar. Then my hubby would bring me breakfast in bed, usually eggs and toast. Long story short… be sure to eat protien EVERY few hours and stay away from sugar. Good Luck and congrats!

  97. Amanda says

    Awwww! Congratulations! I was thinking of your recently when I hadn’t noticed a lot of posts — I’m glad everything is more than okay! :) Hope you are feeling better soon!

  98. Gina Rodriguez says

    Ditto for me on getting sick. A gift from God, how awesome!! Congratulations! I call it…it’s a boy!
    Blessings ;)

  100. Miss Charming says

    Congratulations on your wonderful news! And best of luck on the sickness front. (I was extremely ill with all four of my pregnancies, too.) Just hang in there and don’t worry about anything else around the house–you’re busy working on project baby.

  102. Terri Pollhein says

    Congratulations! I always found that sucking peppermints helped with my morning sickness. And when they didn’t work, at least they made my breath smell nice! LOL

  103. Chris says

    Oh, Emily. I’m so behind on my blog reading, and I missed the big news! Congratulations!!!! I’m sorry to hear how sick you are (I remember that feeling), but I hope you start feeling better soon! Take care of you and the baby! Get all the rest you can. Easier said than done, right? So happy for you!

  104. jen @ tatertots and jello says

    Emily —

    Love you!!

  107. Mom in High Heels says

    Congratulations!!!! How exciting! Believe me, when we found out I was pregnant last year we were in complete shock. Seriously, we didn’t say a word for about 20 minutes after we got a positive test. Indy had just turned 8 and we had absolutely not plans for another baby. Indy was supposed to be an only! When I was pregnant with Indy, I was NEVER sick, but with Han Solo, I was sick all the freaking time for the first 3 months and absolutely exhausted for the entire pregnancy, which is NOT good when you homeschool. He was born in April and I can’t imagine life without him.
    I’ll send you “easy pregnancy” dust and can’t wait to hear about your adventures!

  108. Gina Rodriguez says

    Miss you loads!! Hope you are getting rest and feel better soon. Have a feeling that with this pregnancy will come lost of inspiration!! Can’t wait ;)
