Transcript

Take a pregnancy test with me at 16 weeks postpartum. We have an almost four month old here on the 17th. Reasons I think I'm pregnant. The other day I was in my car and I could smell my car air freshener, which is so random, but I haven't been able to smell it since I got it. And when my first symptoms with my first pregnancy with him was my increase of sense of smell. And then the other day I like gagged randomly, or almost gagged, I should say, when I was drinking my greens powder, but it is kind of gross, so maybe I just almost gagged because it was gross. But also I've like never really gagged or almost gagged except when I was pregnant with him. Twice last week I randomly felt nauseous and then yesterday I felt a little nauseous. And then TMI, are you doing? Um, I had a little diarrhea yesterday and in the first trimester with him I had diarrhea because I guess it's like a hormonal change thing. Are you ready for a brother or sister already? Obviously we weren't like trying to have another one already, but also we want them close in age. So I'd be happy. And I think I'll be sad if it's negative. I feel like I'm just always sad when the test is negative because I love babies so much, but but I also think I'd be a little bit stressed if it's positive. I think I have to wait a little bit longer. Also, this test expired a couple weeks ago and I Googled it and it said you shouldn't even take expired tests because you can get false negatives and false positives. But it's all we got. The last test I took was like a little more than three weeks ago, so it's been a little bit but not too long. I forget if with this test I'm supposed to wait three or five minutes. Okay. That looks pretty negative, but it's expired. Well, see now that doesn't help at all because it was expired, so now I'm like, well, what if I am?
