HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I had a great Mother's Day. I woke up to breakfast in bed and 2 bouqeouts of flowers, one from daddy and one from my little man. It was really sweet! After my last post people probably think I'm crazy but I think there is an explanation to my being a huge whack-o. Tyson yesterday said, I read your post honey and it's ok to write about stuff like that if you're really frustrated but maybe you should wait a day when things look a little better in a different light. He is probably right. So here's my explanation....I'm PREGNANT! We are super excited but I have been a total wreck emotionally. ESPECIALLY if I haven't been getting much sleep. So the other day when I had my little break down I was running on no sleep for 2 days and dealing with my little defiant 2 year old which I normally can handle but for some reason I couldn't. Tyson and I literally decided to try and have a baby and bam we were pregnant. Same month. It is a blessing I think that it happened so fast. It took us a little while to get Pratt and I felt way more ready with this one so I think if it didn't happen fast it would've been a long hard road for me and Ty. We feel very very blessed! So there's my little bit of explanation. I still feel like my feelings were valid because there are many days I feel that way with Pratt...BUT I think my feelings have been very magnified in the last couple of weeks. In fact yesterday I started crying during a Budweiser commercial. REALLY??? I'm not usually a huge cryer but this baby has thrown me for a loop. I haven't really felt too sick. In fact, with Pratt at about 4 weeks pregnant I was nauseous 24/7 up until 14 weeks. This baby I haven't noticed much nausea but am really tired and REALLY emotional. Poor Tyson!






Anyways, I am now only 6 weeks along but we were so so excited we've been having a really hard time keeping it in. I took the test on April 29 (Ty's birthday) And wrapped it up for him as his present. He was shocked! We told our immediate families that night after Ty's surprise birthday party...He turned the BIG 30! And when we changed Pratt into his pj's he was wearing this shirt (pictured below). It was so fun to see everyone's reactions. He again wore the same shirt yesterday for the extended family to see at the mother's day celebration. We didn't say anything and just wanted to see who noticed. People caught on pretty quick and it was so fun! I can't wait to meet this new little person growing inside me and it seems like it will take FOREVER! But I'm sure it will creep up on me in no time. So there is my little explanation for my aforementioned rant. Thank you all for the advice though. It will really help I think. I've been doing most of those things already but it's really nice to know that I'm not the only one. I'm so blessed to have such good friends and family! I hope everybody had a wonderful Mother's Day. Just one more little thing. I want my mom to know how much I love and appreciate her! She is seriously the best mom I could ever ask for. She is my voice of reason and such a rock in my life. I love you mom! I also have an incredible mother-in-law that helps so much with Pratt and is a great person. I love you too Chris! Happy Mother's Day!

Melissa said...

Congrats again Jilly! And as I read through all your other posts (I haven't been keeping up on my friends lately sorry) I completely sympathize with your rant. I feel that way most days since my oldest two are constantly at it and Miah won't sleep anymore. I guess it's just those rare moments when they are angles that you forget about all that other stuff. And p.s. next time you're in St. George you had best be giving me a call! :)

So does that make you due in Jan?

Jill said...

Jan 1 according to the calculators online. I go to the dr the first week in June so we'll know for sure then. I already feel like a look 4 months pregnant and I'm only 6 weeks though. I know you pop out sooner but that seems too soon to me.
