Update on my "feeling icky" post
 

Yeah. Well. Um. It isn't often that I have to admit that I was wrong about something. But well...

I'm pregnant.

LOL I'm in COMPLETE shock and disbelief. I was on the pill! But God had other plans for us. We're completely thrilled, but we're just sorta walking around in a fog right now.

The morning (all-day) sickness is kicking my rear now. The nurse that I talked to on Monday said that I needed to take a home test. I told her, "I'm not pregnant, but I'll take it." You could've knocked me over with a feather when it came back positive. I was SURE I wasn't pg. So, I ran out, bought 2 more tests, and repeated JUST to make sure there wasn't a mistake. LOL A blood test today confirmed it.

So looks like we're going to have a little baby Pritchett around here come February or so! I'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers for both me and Jeff while we adjust to this little turn of events. Our 2 children are teenagers, so it's been a while since either of us have done this!

OMG! Congrats!

Hugs and prayers.

I can only imagine the shock.

Wow.

Hugs!

Libby, congrats. :-)

CONGRATS...so happy and I can relate to having a teenager and a baby :) It will ALL come back to you :)

as I've already said..huge congrats :)

Congrats Libby!!! (((HUGS))) and prayers for you and Jeff and your little babe!!!

I told you. :p LOL!!

CONGRATS!!!! You guys will do fine!

OH. MY. HEAVENS. I can only imagine how shocked you guys are. But, how completely exciting!!! I'm so excited for you.

I can understand the disbelief part as well. With our third, we got pregnant on purpose, but when actually got the positive tests back, we walked around for about a week in a fog -- kinda "oh my gosh, what are we doing?!"

Hope you have a great, uneventful pregnancy, and that the sickies go away quickly.

Yay!!!!! What awesome news. Congratulations to your whole family.

squeeeee!!! So happy for you guys!

Sending you P and PT too!

how awesome!! congrats!

Awwww, congrats Libby!!!

Oh wow! Congrats!

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :) :) :)

I'm really excited for you. I'm praying for you, and Jeff, and little baby Pritchett! And I'm praying for you and Jeff's older kids- that will be an adjustment for them, as well, I'm sure. <3

WOW!!!!! How exciting!!! Congrats! :) How fun that you will have a baby together. :)

Oh. And for the morning sickness. My mom and I both had HORRIBLE morning sickness for our pregnancies.

I highly recommend vitamin B. If you're not a vitamin girl, I suggest B-Natal pops
(I found mine at Babies R Us, but they sell them online, too).

If that doesn't help, and it's REALLY bad, ask your doctor. I had to keep bags in my car because I would get sick driving past fast food places and smelling them... so doc finally put me on Compazine as needed. It helped a LOT!

Hang in there with the morning sickness thing... it's SO not fun. :(

Oh Libby...congratulations!! Now that's some surprise on your digiversary week! I always thought the SSD designers went above and beyond ;D

Aw! What a great surprise!! Congrats Libby!

HOLY COW!!!!!! YAY Libby & Jeff :)

So excited for you guys! Yes it will definitely take sometime to get use to the idea - but how exciting :) I will definitely keep you all in my thoughts and prayers!

(and seriously - what is up with the SSD water?!)

Congrats Lib!! So excited for you and Jeff! :)

oh wow! CONGRATS! Sending all good thoughts your way!

:: picking jaw up off floor ::

Holy crap Libby! That is SO awesome! I'm so excited for you and Jeff!!

HUGE Congrats Libby & Jeff!!!

Wow!! Congratulations!!! I can only imagine how shocked you are, but that's a pretty good explanation for feeling icky!!

I hope you'll keep us posted, on how you are feeling and on the baby!! And, since you are starting over with a new little one, please let me know if I can help... I am actually finally in the process of putting away some of my wee baby things (as my wee baby is almost three). So, if you are having a boy, I can hook you up with clothes, a walker, a bath seat, toys... All very gently used (and I'm just west of St. Louis, with family in the Kansas City area). :)

You know I'm excited for you!! :) Praying your all-day sickness doesn't last long.

Oh.My.Word - LIBBY! HOW awesome is this?!?! What a shocker - I am so happy for you. I wish you 9 months of health.

Wow. Wow. :)

Slipped one past the goalie! lol :) I'm so excited for you.

I should tell you though, I was on the "patch" when Ethan was conceived. He was sort of planned, but not for that time. It was shocking at first, I was a little annoyed, but it was comforting to know that God had other plans for me...as He does with you. I look at Ethan now as my little angel from heaven (although he's so not an angel lol).

I wish you all the best over the next 7-8 months sweetpea.

congrats girlie!!

Congrats!!
I'm sure you guys will do just fine!

Awww. Congrats.

SHUT UP!! That is tooooooooo exciting!! Huge, huge, HUGE congrats to you & Jeff!! :thumbup:

congrats!

No Way!!! That's awesome!!! Congrats!!!!! :) But I hope you feel better and get into the glowing stage soon!!!

Oh, and Libby. By that time, Zach will be in bigger sizes, too, so I'm also totally happy to give you some clothes if you need them (if you have a boy or if you don't mind your girl wearing some boy-ish clothes. I'm sure I've got some gender-neutral stuff, too). :)

Oh my! HOW EXCITING! Yea, my kids are ten years apart, it's great to have a helper tho, really. Congratulations! I'm definitely adding you guys to my prayer list! :hugs:

oh i just got shivers reading this! how exciting! so happy for both of you. hope the sickies go away quick!

:wub: seriously just :wub:

oh and I really wanna tell you never say never but I know that will come back and bite me in the but...so I won't!!! :p :D

Congrats!! Hope the sickies go away soon!

Awwwww!!! Congratulations! So happy for you. Praying for an easy adjustment, healthful pregnancy for you (& Jeff, the kiddos & baby too)

Wow!!! How exciting!!!! :)

That is so flippin' fantastic! What a blessing!

WOW!! Congrats and good luck!

Oh.My.Goodness!!! CONGRATS! I wish you a healthy and happy 9 months!!! My oldest was 14 when DH and I started all over and now we have a 19 years old and three 5 and under!!!!!

Oh. My. Gosh!!!! What an amazing surprise! Congratulations!

Congrats Libby! Hope it goes easy from here on out and that the "icky" feeling goes away!

CONGRATS Libby!

Congratulations!!!!!
How very exciting!

Oh my goodness, congratulations, Libby! So excited for the both of you! ((hugs)) on the nausea...I had it 24/7 my entire pregnancy.

For the nausea, you might try some ginger, be it ginger tablets, ginger ale, whatnot. Gingersnaps helped for me (even though I don't care for them...they kicked the nausea away for awhile).

Um yeah...I'm in that camp too!

I'm pretty sure some of us told you that it was a possibility! Congratulations Libby!
