Finding Out I was Pregnant For the Second Time

June 4, 2018motherhood

Finding Out I was expecting, Again!

January 31st 2018 – I laid Alyssa down for a nap, and sat down on the couch to eat my lunch. I had just made myself my favorite sandwich which only consisted of Cuban bread and Ham. As I finished the sandwich, I immediately felt disgusted and wanted to throw it up.

“What in the world is going on,”  I thought to myself.

This NEVER happens to me (I’m a natural fatty and never want to throw up food, haha).

“I haven’t missed my period, so what could it be?”, This was me literally just talking to myself on the couch, trying to stop myself from puking it all out.

I then remembered I found out I was pregnant with Alyssa (first born) before I ever missed a period. I then thought, “Yeah, I must be pregnant!” I woke Alyssa up from her nap which I NEVER do, nap time is sacred in this household, and it must not be disturbed. However, this day it did.

We drove to our nearest Target, I walked in and picked up a pack of 2 Clear blue Pregnancy Test. Aly and I got home, and I walked in and took a pregnancy test. I anxiously waited for the test to say “pregnant” & sure enough, 3 minutes later, the test said “pregnant.”

I was so happy, and SO nervous all at the same time. I was going to have another baby, Was  I ready? I knew I wanted another little one, but all of a sudden I was filled with excitement and anxiousness.

I called Anthony but he was in a business meeting, He texted, “Are you okay?” I replied, “call me, because I think you would want to know the news” He instantly replied, “You’re pregnant!?” My answer, YES!, He replied with a bunch of hearts!

I was only 3 weeks along, so we told our immediate family and kept it a secret from everyone else until we were in the clear. We were so excited, we couldn’t believe it, we were being given another chance at bringing a bundle of joy int this world. We can’t wait to meet you, our angel!

Mama’s whether you’re a mama already, trying again, or trying for the first time, you are the strongest person we know! Always strive to be the best version of yourself, and never apologize for being the best mama you can be! Remember we aren’t perfect for the world, but we are perfect in the eyes of our little ones.

37 weeks bub, we are ready whenever you are ✨ 

As I have conversation with family & friends... I can’t believe in two weeks I’ll have another little human to love! I can’t wait to see who he looks like, I can’t wait to hold him, I can’t wait to see his dad finally be a boy dad, but most importantly I can’t wait to see the best big sisters in the world welcome their little brother home 💗 there’s absolutely nothing like having a little brother & their bond is what I’m most excited for!

It’s BABY MONTH! 🎉❤️

In just a few days, we will have a little guy that looks just like this guy (based on our ultrasound), and I am so ready to have him here and in my arms! ❤️ 

I don’t have my hospital bag packed, his carseat installed or his clothes washed, but I’m ready 🤪

Third child syndrome is in full effect 🤣😅

36 Weeks Pregnant! 🤰  We have reached the 9-month mark & bubs will be here literally ANYTIME now! Bub is weighing about 5lbs & 8oz according to my doctor & should weigh about 7lbs & 8oz when he's born just like his oldest sister! Alyssa was 7lbs 8oz & Sissy was 7lbs and 5oz, seems like all my little babes are around the same weight. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
How much did your little ones weigh?

I hope they believe in themselves as much as I believe in them ✨

Happy Monday! how was your weekend!? We spent it with Friday’s and enjoyed some company before this little man arrives ❤️ 

I’m trying to get all the time I can get with my girls & as a family of four before there’s another human to share my time with! Am I the only one that gets anxiety about having another baby & splitting their time with one more person? 😅

However, I’m also really excited to have him here, find my own routine and tackle being a mom of three 🤪

They’ll be obsessed with becoming woman comfortable in their own skin ✨ 

Happy Monday!! How did everyone enjoy their Valentine’s Day? We got up, went to lunch with the girls because I was craving lobster tail for the 10000th time in the last two weeks 🤪 #pregnancycravings  Then, we came home and I slept most of the day because #pregnancyinsomnia had me up all night the night before 😫

    This is such a joyful post! With my first I wanted so badly to get pregnant, I took more tests than necessary and within a short time I was pregnant, and when the doctor told me, even though I really wanted a baby, I cried, bawled and cried. I couldn’t even understand it, maybe it was hormones. But then we celebrated and were happy. Congratulations on baby #2.

    Really happy to read about your story of finding out you are pregnant! It is so cool that your husband instantly knew you are pregnant when you called him in the office. How sweet he could read your mind and know what is coming.
