Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Woah.

I am having an insane number of symptoms super early.  My husband is convinced this means there are two babies.  (Which is not even remotely funny to joke about.)

I don't have any nausea yet so I'm counting my blessings for that.

As for other stuff?

Round Ligament Pain?  OMG, how is this possible so early?  I wouldn't even believe it was possible if Google hadn't revealed to me tons of other mothers who have had it this early (and earlier) with each subsequent pregnancy.  If I twist too quickly, or God forbid if I sneeze, it feels like my uterus is ripping out of my body.

Exhaustion?  At least it seems to have cured the insomnia I've been struggling with since Boy 2 was born 19 months ago.  I could sleep all day.

Sore boobs?  Miserable.  And considering that Boy 2 is still nursing, this is just a cruel joke.  Oh, and I obviously need newer sports bras.  

What does all of this mean?  Absolutely nothing except that if this pregnancy goes for the duration, I don't think it is going to be any kinder to me than my previous ones.
