Oops, I did it again!


I played with my birth control, got lost in the dark....oh baby baby..

I mean, oops. I'm pregnant.

So, now that all of you have picked your jaws up off the floor. It's true. I didn't pay anyone and I still got pregnant! I have triplets, which means I get to have sex maybe once every 4 months? And I still got pregnant.

Silly me.

I am actually very excited. Apparently the universe must think I'm doing an ok job to throw another helpless infant at me. Or maybe they were caught looking the other way but how fun is this? I get to see what being pregnant with one baby is like! (So far? Sucks.) I get to sleep with a baby, possibly breastfeed, give birth 'naturally' (why am I excited about that? Who knows), and generally allow my children to do the bulk of the childcare. I mean, why else have three older kids? Babysitting? Check.

No really. I am terrified too, but if you must know, I wanted another one. Pregnancy is weird and woman hormones are weird. It wasn't too long after I gave birth that I wanted to be pregnant again. Which is pretty pathetic considering I spend every single second of every minute complaining while pregnant. Triplet pregnancies suck. But this time, lucky for you, I'm finding the second trimester to be a bit nicer on me. I'm only 3 days in, but forgive me for enjoying the fact that the first trimester exhaustion, nausea and mood swings have been gone for 3 days.

And count yourselves extremely lucky that you missed all the whining that went with that period. Expect, however, third trimester to be a nightmare. Especially as I get closer and closer to the possibility that a large sized baby (this family makes none other) will be exiting by a method I have not experienced as of yet.

Ok, let's hear it. Only, if you're going to berate me for being pregnant again? Don't bother. I'm too happy.

  1. How very exciting! If you know you can do it, and it's very apparent that you can, then it shouldn't matter to anyone else how many you have! I wish I have the mental and physical strength to get through just having ONE! Glad that you are feeling well. Stopping by from SITS. Thank you for sharing this great news!

  12. Mira,
    I don't know if you remember me from the triplet board forever ago during your last pregnancy, but I just stumbled across your blog through Amy's. Congrats! I thought I was the only triplet mom this was happened to and the only one crazy enough to be happy about it! Good luck with everything! The kiddos are cute!

  13. Woo Hoo! And congratulations ... I wish I could talk my triplet mommy friend Debbie into having another because she makes such ADORABLE babies ... kind of like you, btw :) And I think a singleton pregnancy is a delight ... despite the fact that I went on bedrest with the first ... hoping my second time around (due on Christmas) doesn't include bedrest ... how does a mommy chase around a toddler (or three in your case) whilst laying on the couch? Anyway, just thoughts ... I just "met" you and I am super excited for you and can't wait to check back to see how things are going :)
