pregomama

So a few weeks ago I noticed a few extra pounds on the scale, an incredible urge to eat every five minutes, and gas that just wouldn’t pass. Next came the mind altering experience of losing a job that I’d held for 2.5 years! The emotions were roaring and the bed and pillow were my best friends from that point on. Last week I happened to be flipping through my calendar where I mark my… hm, hm, “female stuff” and noticed that Uncle T.O.M. hadn’t been to visit in a few months if ya know what I mean? I knew that it was about that time again so I just figured my emotions were high from all the extra hormones from skipping a cycle, right?

Or wait, could it be, then it hit me! Crying, sleeping, eating, gas issues (to say the least), and skipping a cycle! What do all of these have in common? I’ll give you three guesses…1…2…3…did you get it? Well I did and it’s called, PREGNANCY! Or as I like to call it, pregomama!

Wow! The next thing I knew I was running to the closest store and buying every brand test they sold. I’m sure if you’ve been there you did the same thing. I recommend drinking two or three glasses or water before hitting the moment of truth and then doing them all at once…what a crazy feeling when you get to see not just one, but four little pink plus signs! Even at that point I was telling myself it had to be a mistake. I’ve only been married almost one year, I just lost my job, I have too many bills, too many animals, too much hot newlywed sex still to enjoy! This couldn’t be happening to me! I took that silly little pink pill every night at 10 pm, like clockwork, since I was 15!

Well it was, is, and will be happening for 9 long months now. All I’ve ever wanted was to have a baby (maybe two), but wow the reality puts you into check. No more caffeine, no more cleaning the litter box, no more heavy lifting, no more long hours on your feet, no more alcohol!

That’s just the beginning, I don’t even know what could be in store. One thing I do know is that I have to find someway to tell my hubby that he’s going from my baby, to having a baby! Wow, now I am a pregomama!
