We are expecting another GIRL!!!! Oh, how fun :) If I would have known I would have had 3 girls in a row, I wouldn't have bought a unisex car seat...and every other addition to take care of a baby with! HA! Who would have known. So needless to say I am buying girl things now :)
Hear this phenomenon. One that I finally put my finger on this past month. For Charlotte's and this pregnancy, during the 1st trimester, I am not only sick, but am out of my mind...The only way to express the intensity of feelings, that I cannot control, is to say that I turn in to the Incredible Hulk. Excepting I am pale, not green, and sick, not strong. My controlling feeling is amplified anger towards anyone. All I want is for people to leave me alone, I want to run away.
Whereas the comic book character just needs to be alone to calm himself down in order to change back, my change just has to wait for the clock to read "Congratulations you're in the 2nd trimester, welcome back to being normal." I hate the whole thing. I hate feeling powerless against myself... Good news though, I did talk to my Doctor about it last time I was in (I would have asked sooner, but angry people aren't always logical) and he said there are cases of this and there is a way to treat it, to help balance out the brain during this time. Hooray!! I am happy to report that this phenomenon is real and treatable. You probably won't hear me getting pregnant anytime soon after this one, just in case the natural medication doesn't work.
Joe and the girls miss their wife and mommy. They have a hard time living with a pale sick couch monster for 3 months. And I miss me too.

Thanks!

Three girls, that is crazy, you supply the girls and I will supply the boys! :0) Congrats on having another girl.
3 of a kind, eh? Just like us! Congrats to all of you!
Oh, Jenni, I SO relate to the monster thing. Except, for me, my anger/depression lasted almost my entire 3rd pregnancy. I didn't have it with the other 2, but I sure had it this last time. It was rough. But as soon as I hit the 3rd trimester, I got happier and happier until the end. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?
Then I was worried that I'd have post-partum depression, but actually, I've been nearly ecstatic since the birth. Just a few cranky days here and there.
May the same happen to you (the good parts, not the bad).
Love,
Jessie and all these boys
Hang in there friend!
Congrats on having another girl! It's nice to already have the stuff. The first trimester is really rough. I was sick everyday of mine so I kind of know what you are going through. Hang in there! You're amazing!
Congratulations! Any name ideas? I've always liked "Marie" :)! I'm sorry it sounds like you've been through the ringer lately. But I'm willing to bet your "incredible hulk" is probably a lot like my "normal marie", but because you're so sweet and nice it seems much worse to you than it really is. And I'm really sorry to hear about the job loss. Financial stress is not fun. At all. But it does give me a little hope that I can get you to possibly move further west! I'll keep my eyes out!!! Love you!!!
wow, you've got a lot on your plate. Congrats on the girl. We love girls. I hope you can find a job for Joe soon. And I hope you find it in Idaho:) That would be fun! Good luck.
Congratulations on a third girl! I'm so sorry you haven't been doing so well in your first trimester. I hope the first trimester goes fast for you.
