Yesterday and today has been interesting.
We had dinner with one of Babe's friend and his family last night. On the way, there I felt super hungry and became kind of queasy from the hunger. After dinner we stopped by the friend's house to visit for a bit. When we got there, he had the wood stove/ fireplace in the basement and it was a little smoky in there. After about 15 minutes my stomach didn't feel right. It felt odd, kind of knotty or queasy. I told Babe we needed to leave. We had agreed we couldn't stay long anyway as we needed to get home for my PIO shot. The smell of the smoke made me queasy. Again, on the way home, my stomach didn't feel right. Maybe it was the dinner..... could the shrimp or clams be bad?
Is it possible that is is a symptom of my pregnancy, or was I just imagining things? Am I feeling more "sensitive" now that I know I am pregnant? Would I have felt the same way if I didn't just find out that I am pregnant? I've heard that morning sickness doesn't start till 6 weeks along, but some have felt queasy before then. I do think that if I let myself get too hungry... my stomach doesn't feel quite right. But this has only happened yesterday and today, so we'll have to see if this continues, or if it's just my imagination.
On a different note, I think I have ever been so happy to get my PIO shot last night! It's amazing how different one can feel about the shot now that I know I am pregnant.
It still seems unreal that I am pregnant. I still tear up just thinking about it. I'm trying not to get TOO excited, at least not until Monday. Of course there are the other milestones... the 6 week and 9 week appointments. But let's just take one step at a time.

More (Sucky) Baby News
Guess what? I'm going to be an aunt again.
Yeah.... isn't it great news...... (hope you noticed the tinge of sarcasm!)
I just found out tonight that Babe's younger brother and his wife are having a baby. Again. This will be their second baby. They already have a little 3-year old girl.
Babe's parents were in town today. We took them out to dinner in honor of Father's Day tomorrow, and a belated Mother's Day celebration since they were on vacation on mother's day. We were talking about my sister-in-law, and my mother-in-law accidently mentioned "the baby". I said, "What baby? She's having a baby?" "Oops, I guess was I wasn't supposed to say anything yet" said my mother-in-law.
Of course it was a shocker to me! I just hope that shock did not show through too much! The only thing I could think of to say was "Congrats, you're going to be grandparents again!"
Of course I'm so happy that my BIL & SIL are having a baby again. They deserve it. They had a miscarriage before their daughter was born. And they are such great people. I can't wait to meet my next niece or nephew, with blonde hair and blue eyes.
But I can't help but feel the jealousy creeping up again. I thought we would have a baby before they had a second baby. They got pregnant with their first when we had been trying for a few years. Now their little girl is already 3. Now they are pregnant with baby number 2, and we are STILL trying.
The kicker though is their baby is due mid January. That means they conceived in April, a month or so after our failed IVF attempt in March. They beat us to it. Again. It would mean we could have been pregnant together. I was hoping that we would be at least pregnant before they conceived their second child. Maybe the kids could play together.
With our luck, they will probably have a boy, and they'll be the first to carry on the family last name. I had hoped that maybe we would be able to do that.
With the exception of Babe's youngest brother who is single and 10 years younger, we are the only ones among his siblings that don't have kids. Chances are, his youngest brother (I mean his girlfriend) will probably have a baby before we do.
Gosh, I hate feeling this way! Feeling upset about someone else getting pregnant. I should be happy for them. I AM happy for them. But yet as the same time, I am sad and upset. I feel left behind as everyone else is moving on with their lives. It's so unfair. And I have to pretend that I'm happy. I feel like such a whiner. I feel like a bad person.
This really sucks.

Travolta/Preston Expecting
I'm usually not big follower of celebrity news, but a friend sent me a link to the article on Peo.ple magazine that Kelly Preston, who is married to John Travolta, is pregnant at 47. I'm really happy for them as they'd just suffered the loss of their 16-year old son in January 2009. Plus, I'm a fan of both actors.
But I can't help thinking, at 47, did she do IVF? If so how many rounds did it take her?
Did she use donor eggs? I can't believe that at her age, egg quality is not an issue.
I'm not sure if it really matters, or if it's any of my business. But Hollywood sure makes it sound so easy to get pregnant at an older age. I wonder if they would share more details of the pregnancy.
But then, would I share with the whole world that my baby was conceived via IVF? Probably not. So why should I expect them to?
Either way, I am happy for John Travolta and Kelly Preston. I wish them a safe and happy pregnancy!

No Vagina, Still Knocked Up!
Thanks to Babybaker of Venting Vagina for sharing the craziest, one-in-a-gazillion-chance-of-happening, belongs-in-the-Ripley's-Believe-It-or-Not story about a girl with no vagina who got pregnant after oral sex, AND being stabbed. Check out the story from ABC News below......
Wow, with her luck, you think she would have won the Powe.rball if she bought a ticket?
