Why would I be excited about getting sick? Well, to me, it is a hopeful sign that my pregnancy is progressing as it should. Still, I am having a very difficult time imagining this pregnancy coming to fruition. Bathroom count today so far: 10. Not bad, considering all the days before. Byt 2:00 in the afternoon, I would normally have gone 30 or more times already. So, I am slowing down on the obsessive behavior. Still not on the paranoia and panic. I still check on the kids and pets every 5 minutes. Silence is NOT golden! Not right now, anyways.

My youngest, who is just 21 months, has predicted I am having a girl. He has always rubbed and hugged and kissed my belly, even before we knew we were pregnant again. The night before the miscarriage he cried and sobbed in his sleep all night. I think he has a deep connection with the babies. Well, today after his usual lovies he gives to the belly, he started waving at it and said, "Hi, Sissy!" So, I have interpreted that as he is predicting a sister. Therefore a daughter for me. Sure, it may just be wishful thinking. But I can remain optimistic about something.

I was reading something today about having twins. It said after your fourth or fifth pregnancy, your chances of having twins dramatically increases. Also, the older you are, your chances at least double. And, despite old wives tales, family history is not a determining factor. Anyone can have twins. Just more likely to have fraternal twins. I told my husband if they told me I was having twins, I'd probably fall off the table. I told him this at breakfast this morning and I think he almost fell off his chair! He just said, "Uh-huh." Then quickly followed with, "We'll have to hire help." But I reminded him that people do it without help all the time. He just rolled his eyes and went back to eating. I guess before he lost his appetite thinking about having 4 kids.

Well, I feel like pukinkg right now. That's why I picked this color. That's what it reminds me of. This is my mood color. My boobs are sore and my stomach is churning.....I'm in heaven....
