I am now 5 weeks pregnant. Early huh? I woke up this morning at 4:30am to nurse Lucy and now I am wide awake thinking about this pregnancy. I know I shouldn't worry and just enjoy this time but I really can't help myself. I wish I could keep finding out every single day how things are going but I know that's not possible. I think I am going to get my HCG numbers re-drawn next week to see if they are still doubling. I feel like after miscarry and going through infertility I have a REALLY hard time trusting my body. Really the only pregnancy symptom I have had so far is just being tired in the evening. Very tired. I know I usually complain about being tired anyways but now I really feel much more tired if that were possible, haha! Dh also says I have been really irritable. Maybe I have :) Poor guy!
I have been debating about weaning Lucy while I am pregnant at the moment. I think I am going to start cutting her back to a couple nursings a day. Right now she still nurses about 6 times a day give or take. She really is a big nurser so I am not quite sure how to go about weaning her. Any advice??? I should find out my progesterone results today from PPVI. I am kind of anxious to hear how they are. I am on the progesterone shots but still I just can't help but worry how my levels are doing.
Right now being pregnant feels like a dream. Like it's not really "real" yet. Probably because it is so early. But I am already talking to this new baby growing inside me just like I did with Lucy. I feel so blessed right now. Thank you girls for your prayers. I really need them at the moment ;)
Awwww so wonderful! Praying for you guys.
ReplyDeleteI am so so happy for you!! Just allow yourself to feel the joy and find peace that you are where God wants you to be.
ReplyDeleteI think you don't have to stress about weaning. Your body will do it for you. My milk slowly began to dry up during my second pregnancy and as it did, my daughter nursed less and less. By 20 weeks there was nothing left, and all I had to do was offer her Craisins a couple of times as a substitute for nursing. She never asked again. She was 16 mos old at the time. I am pregnant now and my second is only 9 mos old so I am really hoping to maintain lactation through the pregnancy and tandem nurse, but we'll see. My body might not be able to do that, considering what happened last time. Whatever you choose to do, don't make it too hard on yourself or your daughter. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your newest blessing!
SO SO SO happy for you!!! I am praying for you!
