M=4, B=1

What is that crazy equation mean, well if you have not figured it out it means that Macie took 4 years to get pregnant with and Baby Hunsperger took 1 try. I am still in such shock and can't believe we are going to be a family of 4. It has taken me some time to get excited, as we really didn't want to get pregnant until September, but with Birth Control being the most horrific thing I have ever been on in my life and me having this wonderful disease called Endometriosis, once I went of the pill, trying for another seemed like the most logical choice. We thought the earliest we would be pregnant was April and thought for sure by June we would be knocked up, I was happy with that and that our kids would be just over 2 years apart. However that is not what the Lord had planned for us. It was funny how two days after we had some UMMMMM "fun", I was in the kitchen drinking a glass of water after eating healthy all day and just gone for a 5KM run when I felt so bloated. The thought of being pregnant crossed my mind, but I brushed it away quickly thinking it was impossible. For the next 5 days I experienced the same feelings and was starting to think I was going mental, I would talk to Mark about it and tell him how I really think I am pregnant but how I thought that was impossible. I tested on a sick the day my period was due and it came back negative, well I am not pregnant, thank goodness, but I am going crazy and my body is definitely not itself right now. 3 days later my period still hadn't come so I said one last try and if it comes back negative I really am not pregnant and I need to go see a doctor for whatever is going on with my body. Well 1 minute into peeing on that stick and there was a positive sign. Emotions were all over the place, YAY I am not going crazy, my body is not messed up, uh oh I am pregnant and due in October, what no way how is this possible there is no way. Now that I am almost 9 weeks, and we had a slight scare and thought we had lost it, and I got to see my baby and see it's heartbeat on an ultrasound I am filled with such joy and excitement to be snuggling my little baby boy or girl in less then 7 months.  This pregnancy has been totally different then Macie's. Sick, Sick and more Sick. Bloated every single minute of every single day, my complexion is terrible, my hair is a greasy dry mess. Yes I know I am complaining but I just want to remember the good and the bad of my pregnancies. Oh and the waistline is getting huge. No seriously huge. Not only do they say you grow bigger sooner with the second, but when you are nauseas and carbs are the only thing to settle your stomach and the doctor puts you on light activity, so that means no exercising my body just goes to crap, all my muscle tone is gone none of my clothes fit, and the scale yesterday had me putting on 4 lbs in two weeks. Can you just imagine the tears. I am trying not to think about it 24/7 but when you have spent the last three years of your life getting healthy, making huge lifestyle changes and being the skinniest and healthiest you have ever been in your life it definitely hits your pride when you feel like you have no control over your body. Let's just end that rant by saying I can't wait for the 2nd trimester to come, when I can work out again, and hopefully the nausea is gone and I can't eat as I please, and the belly growth is from baby and not fat.  Oh one last thing we are 100% not finding out the sex of the baby and I can't wait to be surprised in the delivery room, this is our last and I love the idea of being surprised.
