Big Boobs LP

Yes, they have gotten big already. Like I should be nursing again kind of big. Like, don't touch them because they hurt so much kind of big. Luckily, my bras were a little too big so now they are nice and snug. My boobs actually shrunk after I had Miss P (after nursing that is). Yeah, they turned into Droopy the dog and I could barely fit into a B cup. I used to be a C cup. So, at least I am not bursting out of my bras yet...I don't remember them being this big and sore this early on with #1. I guess they were already nice and stretched out so there wasn't much growing that needed to be done this time.

Ok, enough of the TMI...

I gained 1lb. That is it. And, based on my LMP, I should be 6 weeks this week. I wish I could remember when I started gaining weight with #1. I think it was right away though. Like, the week of because when I went back to the doc in week 5 to be weighed, I was like 5lbs heavier than I had been when I went for my annual pap (which happened to be the same week we conceived). Ironically, that is what happened this time too. The same week we conceived, I had my annual pap. Hmmm. Something fishy going on here.....

So, sore ta ta's. 1lb heavier (which means I still fit into my pants!!!). Some ongoing cramping that is just uncomfortable. Oh, and yesterday, yucky all around. I was sad and depressed and bummed all weekend (no obvious reason why), just felt like I wanted to crawl into a hole and not come out all weekend. Which is really what we did. Didn't get up to get dressed/take a shower until like 3pm each day. LAZY!! But, yesterday, I also felt a little nauseous. Not like sick I was going to have to run to the bathroom kind, but just, yucky. Nothing sounded good to eat, I was barely hungary. Maybe it was gas...Oh, yeah, the gas. Again, I don't remember being this gaseous this early on.

Guess my hormones are taking me for a ride this time around. And everything that kicked in like 2-3 months into to my pregnancy, are kicking in just a bit earlier (except the weight gain).

I can't wait until my doctor appt next week. When they can give me all the fun stuff and tell me for sure "yes, you are pregnant and here is where we go from here", and they give me the order to get the ultrasound. With #1, I got my first u/s at 7-weeks (6-weeks per their calendar because she was measuring small) But I knew the date of conception so we kept the date. And, we were only 1-day off.

I hope the u/s shows us either we are right on track or 4-weeks off so we can determine a real date. I would be happy with an October baby, that way my hubby would have a birthday buddy (the whole family has birthday buddies each month except DH who never had one). But, I guess September would be fine too. I just would feel better really knowing a date for sure. Then we can tell everyone!!

I confess, I already told some people. Besides you guys of course (which DH does not know about). He knows that Mrs BFW knows (she was the first I told...becuase I couldn't lie and she asked me straight out). Then I told my long time friend K who, really, I didn't need to tell because she could tell that I was over the phone...she is that good. I was on the phone with her, and my DH was in the room. K asked if we were trying for #2, and I said "mmm hmmmm", but I guess I said it with a "give-away" kind of tone because her next quesiton was "ARE YOU?", and I said "I am not at liberty to say". My DH looked at me like....duhh....if that wasn't a dead give away. Come one...you can be more discrete than that!! I just laughed. I also told our Cafe lunch lady, because she is ALWAYS asking me and keeps telling me it is my turn again. So, I let her in on the secret. I am sure she is busting at the seams to tell some of the other girls here at work...but not yet. Hopefully next week.

I just want to yell off the mountaintops that we are expecting #2!!! But, I can't quite yet. I know, all in due time. It just seems to be going so slow right now. I am not going to wish it away though. Because it will be over before I know it and I will be wanting to be PG again!!!

Have a great week!!

Oh, I can soooo remember the sore boobies! Thank goodness it goes aways, for a little while anyways, til the nursing starts up! :o) Glad you're doing well overall!

Betsy said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is such awesome news! I'm so excited to hear (well, READ) all about your pregnancy journey with #2! :-)

RecoveringCoffeeholic said...

Heh. This is why I am not ready for #2 yet. :)

Mrs. Taco said...

I have heard/read that with #2 everything comes early. You have already been through it and your body changes quickly. You will feel movements and kicks earlier than with the first as well. It's so exciting and I'm still so thrilled that I was the first to know! :p

Amy said...

I am so happy for you!!!

Mel said...

Ha! Your post made me laugh and I needed that today. Good to know, I'm not the only person who refers to them as "ta tas!" Also, my blog moved. I'm now at http://meltoinfinityandbeyond.blogspot.com/.

Sounds like things are happening a bit quicker this time!!! I hear that can sometimes be the case the second time around!!

I hope that you 1st trimester treats you well and I look forward to reading more about baby #2!!!

Destination Beautiful said...

Oh wow! I've been behind on all the things going on with you! CONGRATS to you and Mr. P for your new addition! I'm so excited for you guys! I look forward to reading about this other new wonderful journey in your life. Oh- andI hope the boobs feel better soon!

I would venture a guess that you may very well be 4 weeks further than you think, what with all the symptoms in high gear like that. I am on #3, and my bad stuff started at 6 weeks, but by 10 weeks, I was miserable with nausea, boobs, headaches, and exhaustion.... Then again, every woman is different! Either way, I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy!!

Of all the things I miss the most from pregnancy is my boobs! :-0 So I guess there is hope for them if I am ever able to conceive again. Clothes just seem to fit better if the girls are a little bigger - ya know what I mean.

Hope you start to feeling better, can't wait to hear what the doctor says next week.

Kristen Miller said...

So sorry you're feeling yucky early on this time around. I hear you on the shrunken boobs after baby number 1. What the heck is that about? I haven't bought new bras either so they're just loose. How sad is that?

I hope you're able to tell everyone soon. You must just be dying trying to hold it in. Congrats again! :)

Tiffany said...

I feel your pain! I have been feeling miserable! So tired too! I am either having a nap as soon as I come home or going to bed really early. It is hard not to tell people. My family and DH's family know and a few of my close friends. I can't wait until I am further along and can tell everybody. Hope you are feeling better soon!

I hear ya on the sore boobs. They still hurt like heck even now after entering the 2nd trimester. It will be so exciting to find out your actual due date, and then you can shout it from the rooftops!! I had most of the same symptoms in my 6th week, so you may very well be expecting a mid-October baby. :)
