Sounds like you are pregnant to me. That little girl needs a sibling. My three were all around two years apart. Works out great when they are small, keep each other entertained. The only bad part was that I thad a teenager for like 15 years straight. We had fun though, like you describe having with your child. Now, I'm having more fun with my grandchildren. Feel Better! And, enjoy this most marvelous life! Blessed Be!!! Gaia'l

That.. might actually be it. D'awwwwwww, You might be a mommy!

*Ahem* Masculinity restored and all, maybe it's stress. the sympthoms of stress usually present themselves two months or so after the massive stress, from what i was told at a conference just two days ago, it could also be a sickness. Go to the doctor to make sure you're not sick first, then look for other altenratives.

Thank You all immensely. I told my husband how I feel and he said the same thing almost automatically... maybe its a baby. We decided that if I keep feeling this way - and it doesn't get "better" or if it gets significantly worse then at Samhain we'll get a test and find out if Rhiannon is going to have a sibling...

In the meantime I am trying to rest and relax. If it is stress it really has whomped me. I am not heading to the doctor unless I feel something serious and urgent is up. Plus, no one seems to be "catching" my illness. Today I am similarly exhausted.... I literally slept all night and woke UP tired. I haven't eaten anything yet and I am just nauseous thinking about breakfast.

If it isn't what we think it is, then I will probably feel OK soon.... and if it IS we will make do. I have mixed feelings about having a second baby; excited at the idea, but worried about money, preparation and having a healthy baby. Also Rhiannon still needs us A LOT - so a new baby would require a shift in how I do things. Change is always daunting, and my comfort lies in the fact that plenty of people have done it before with a lot less than I have. That said, I bet every single one was scared out of their pants at having baby #2.... hehehe.

BUT- that is all speculation. I FEEL pregnant... but until I see that little [ + ] sign I am not going to get TOO worried or TOO excited. who knows, maybe I'll prove otherwise soon.

If I find out, trust me- you'll all know soon after. If not- that too...

It is so nice to hear all of your kind words, suggestions, and warm energy! You are all so great!

Blessed Be!

Awww! I was almost named Rhiannon! My mom is a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, as am I. lol. ^-^ If you are with child then many blessings to you! Even if you aren't it sounds like you need to take it easy either way. I'm hoping you are, because my mom said as an only child she was lonely. I have a little sister and while she is a brat most of the time, she can also be great. We watch movies together and talk. She comes to me for advice, which I love. Being a big sister is the best thing ever, even if it is hard sometimes. She has always called me Sis or Sister, even around her friends so they all call me that, lol. I always watch out for her, even if she doesn't like it. I also give her the advice she doesn't want to hear, when no one else will. She has always been a blessing in my life, even if it doesn't always feel like it. :) If you are, do you have any name ideas?

I want be talking names until I am sure that i am preg... it feels like bad luck or something- along the lines of counting your chickens before they hatch.

Nevertheless I am still sicker than ever... I ate eggs for lunch which was a terrible choice. Also smells are really making me feel awful. At this point I will be kind of surprised if I am NOT...

Rhiannon is so cute, she is extra sweet, wondering why I am not feeling well. The hardest part is trying to act kind of OK around other people when the whole time I am queasy. What is funny is that one minute I feel like I am starving to death, and then the minute I finish eating I feel super sick again. paired with feeling exhausted all the time, I feel really awful.

Just in case, I am trying to be "good"- I have cut out drinking ANY alcohol (I really like to spoil myself with a beer at dinner)- of course it isn't hard considering I can barely stomach much beyond water. I am trying to relax and rest as much as possible with a toddler running wild. I am trying to drink water, and I am happy we have a home carbonator so I can make "sparkling water" with lemon juice - which helps relief my nausea a little. Tums helps, but I am trying to be on the safe side so I am not taking anything with Tylenol in it... which was a no-no last time i was pregnant.

I am already getting anxious to know if I am... but I would hate to jump the gun. My husband is so laid back that he doesn't seem to be in any hurry to know.

The funny thing is that as each day comes I can add more "symptoms" that match what I had with Rhiannon. If I am not when I test, then I am definitely running to the doc ASAP- because this is intolerable!!!! LOL

Blessed Be and Thank You all!

"I told my husband how I feel and he said the same thing almost automatically... maybe its a baby."

That was the first thing that came to my mind, Megan :) My two are 14yo and 17yo. I remember how my wife felt both times, and it sure sounds familiar. I really didn't want the second pregnancy (we were worried about money) but neither one of us are sorry now. The two fuss and fight . . . and protect each other. They are upset when the other doesn't do a chore . . . then they help the other one and work together. When one is doing something potentially dangerous, the other "rats" them out . . . but only after are sure that its the only way.

The two have been such a blessing to us and to each other.
Keep us informed Sis. We love you too :)
Larry

So... here is the news..

I took 2 pregnancy tests and they were positive! I am starting to get used to the idea of baby #2. I dug out some prenatal vitamins and in the next week or so I will be working out doctors and stuff. My morning sickness is worse than ever! I am really happy to have all of your positive thoughts and suggestions.

Obviously part of me is scared to death... although it is different than the fears I had with my first daughter. I know HOW to take care of an infant and whatnot... but being an only child myself- I am a little nervous about how my daughter will react to the new baby, and how the "sibling dynamic" works. I am so thankful my husband can help me out there. It will be an adventure, I am, sure.

The other part of my is SUPER excited. I love newborns... I love every minute of watching them learn and grow. As my daughter is leaving baby-hood behind and is officially a toddler... I have been missing that early bond, where she was always with me, and now she is off playing and running instead. I am grateful that she is healthy and independent and inquisitive, but it will be nice to get to hold a baby in my arms- without them wriggling out!

thankfully I know that morning sickness doesn't last forever. Once I was past the first trimester i actually kind of enjoyed being pregnant. It is a magical experience to feel a baby growing and changing inside of you, and to realize that a person is being formed that will have love, and happiness, and sadness and consciousness. It is amazing!

When I get to the doctor and get more info I will be back to tell more, of course. I love you all and I hope you all have an incredible samhain!

-Megan
