The subsequent Pregnancy

I privately blogged periodically during my pregnancy with Amelia.
I want to share everything that I wrote during that time.

Ugh.

I cannot believe that in order to have a living baby I have to go through another pregnancy.
And even then nothing is certain.

I am pregnant.

4/1/2010

I'll be 5 weeks along tomorrow, based on the first day of my last period.

And today the puking began. I felt sort of queasy all day yesterday. This morning it was full blown morning sickness.

Also 2 cups of coffee was clearly too much.

Bleck.

I think I'm going to brave the military bs and go deal with them tomorrow. They make you have a blood test, then take a class. It's 4 hours, and full of great information no one knows, like always put baby in a car seat, and don't shake your baby.
I plan to beg, plead, scream and cry. Whatever it takes to get out of the stupid class. It's not just for my well being, but also for the 20 year old first time moms who are 4 weeks along and have already bought the crib and travel system.
I'm sure they don't want me losing it and telling them all how babies die all the time, and their baby might die so they shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch.

That really wouldn't benefit anyone.

Post Note: I did end up not having to take that class. I did not have to cry or beg. After I told the nurse I saw about Lucy he gave me a free pass. I have noticed that in some situations men are more compassionate about loss than women.
