Sandman

So they say, third times a charm...let's hope so. It's been approximately 4 months since we lost our twins, four months and three days to be exact. So imagine my thought process as I'm in the mountains of Peru, realizing that my period is way late, and then realizing that it's not coming because I'm pregnant. Thousands of miles away from home, in high altitude, with foods different than what I'm accustomed to. Everyone around me enjoying Pisco Sours (a delicious Peruvian drink), while I'm thinking on how many drinks I've had since October...

If my calculations are correct, I am 7weeks and 2days pregnant. Already this pregnancy is feeling different than the last one, and different than my first one. I'm super fatigued, my sense of smell is completely hightened, and the sandman likes to punch me in the face and knock me out at random times of the day. A given is right after a meal, but it also seems that after a few hours awake, I get instantly fatigued and want to do nothing but sleep. Another difference is the nausea that I feel. It's weird, because I don' t necessarily want to vomit, but it just seems that nothing sits right on my stomach. I also can easily feel hungry every few hours, but never too full because my stopping point makes me nauseous. Symptoms of pregnancy I guess...

So overall, very excited, and very nervous all in one. Can't wait to go to my first OB appointment next month to see what they say after the sonogram... hoping and praying for the best, prepared for the worst...
