My Reproductive Nightmare, Pregnant

Houston? We have a House and a Heartbeat!

First? They accepted our offer. So – pending inspection, we will close on the deal no later than April 30th.

Second? We saw the heartbeat (120-130bpm)-He’s ALIVE! (I’m calling him “he” because I’m scared of having a daughter). He measured at 7w1d, so we’re only ONE day off this week. He’s no longer grounded, as long as he keeps up the good work.

Dr. SoNice wants to see me again NEXT Thursday as a “New OB” patient. That means, I will get treated like a normal pregnant woman instead of a “Repeat Aborter Who Happens To Be Pregnant.” He stressed that I must take it EASY and continue with my Prometrium, Baby Aspirin, and PreNatal Vitamins. No stress (read: No Doing Crazy Things Like Buying Houses), No excercise (Ha), No sex (Ha Ha). “We MUST make it to 12 weeks,” is what he said. AMEN. WE MUST.

I cried like a little baby.

  1. OH YAY!!!!

    I am exploding with joy for you!!!! Dancing and singing, except it would wake up my roommate…

    YAY!!!!!!!

  4. I’m doing the Happy Dance and singing Sir’s I’m so happy song for you!!!!!!!!!! I’m thrilled everything looks good. Now, it’s my turn to start buying presents for your new baby 🙂
    Congrats Mommy and Daddy!

  8. I have goosebumps–that is such exciting news! I think I will do nothing and not exercise too–just to help out a bit.

  13. Congrats! I am so happy for you! (I’m scared of having a daughter as well, because if she’s a girly girl I will not know what to do. At all.)

  14. Hurray for you, girl! Am jumping up and down for you. Which means I’ll probably fall and hurt myself, but it’s totally worth it!! 🙂

  16. Oh…happy tears! Really, they are. I have to go to work…and my face’ll be all red. *doh*

  18. Damn… I’m sitting here at work crying for you and people are walking by asking me what’s wrong. So I tell them that Zoot’s baby has a heartbeat! Of course they ask me who Zoot is and I’m not quite sure how to explain that I’m crying tears of happiness for someone whose blog I read and have never even met! SO… SO… SO… HAPPY FOR YOU ALL!!!!

  19. I’m crying like a baby too, but you know how being pregnant does that to you. Congratulations!!! (And really, the no sex thing will probably be a nice break after all the forced, you must get me pregnant right now buster, sex.)

  21. WOO HOO!!!!

    I’m so excited for you! A new baby *and* a new house. This is a red-letter year for the Zoots!

    Isn’t that heartbeat THE MOST precious sound ever!? All my congrats to you all!

  22. I had some long, fabulous comment a few minutes ago, but then it wouldn’t let me leave it so now all you get is……girl, I love you and NOTHING could make me happier than to hear this!

  23. awesome awesome awesome!!! Congrats! haha, i’d jump for joy for you but i think people might get suspicious 😉 But, CONGRATS! ^_^ I’m sooo happy for you!

  26. YES!!! You had me crying with heartbeat. I’m so freaking happy for you all.

    We will continue to hold you guys in our prayers!

  28. Oh, I’m so happy and excited for you! I’ll keep you and yours in my thoughts!

    This means you can have all the Krispy Kremes you want, now, right?

  32. I’m so happy for you! Ok, so I am DEFINATELY sending you the Krispy Kreme onesie, ok???

    Now, can I be next, please??? Can I, Can I, Can I????

  33. I am so fucking happy and relieved for you. Tears, yesss…

    And I bet she is going to be a wonderful new Zoot!

  34. I am crying over here! Yaaaaaay!!! (And I had a premonition this morning that you were going to have a boy….I can usually get a good bead on these things)

  37. that’s fabulous! and about the house-buying? I told you so 😉 Make Mr. Zoot do all the worrying on that end.

  38. YAY! YAY! YAY! I am crying tears of happiness for you and your family! Wow a new house and a new baby all at once!!!

    Guess that baby dust works!

    Congratulations!!!!

  41. Little drops of water are forming in my eyes for you! I should make a Krispy Kreme Cake (is there such a thing?) and send it to you! This has been one hell of a week! Congratulations!

  42. I’ll be more than happy to help you out in the sex department…wink wink nudge nudge say no more 😉

    YIPPEE!!!!

  44. Ohhhhh, Zoot! I’m so happy for you guys! You were having quite a week already, but this takes the cake. Congrats!

  45. I am a long time reader but first time commenter. I just have to tell you that I started crying when I read this post. It took me a long time to get pregnant with my Jackson and I have been following your progress while holding my breath. I think you are a terrific mom and BabyZoot (or is it FetusZoot now) is very lucky to have you.

  47. I feel like such a copycat, but here goes…

    Congrats Zoot! (And to all the rest of the Zoot household! Although I do feel kind of bad for MrZ and the whole no sex thing.)

    Now just rest easy there will ya???

  48. CONGRATULATIONS!

    This means, of course, that between both of the good news stuff you’ve had this week, Mr. Z owes you one awesomely awesome dinner out!

  50. Oh, Zoot (and MrZoot and LilZoot, too)!!! What good news – such good news that BellaBelly called and told me! I won’t stop praying, but I’m so happy for you!

  55. Man! All you pregnant chicks on the Interbunny! It better not be catchy.

    But for you and the rest of the Zoots? So cool. Much joy and love.

  58. Okay, happy dances all around! Annnd… go!

    (I firmly believe in the power of a good happy dance, and given the amazing number of people who are doing them right now, you are going to have a 10-pound baby who’s born speaking three languages and solving advanced calculus. ) Yaay for Zooties!

  60. Damn! I’m always the last one to arrive at the party!

    Yaaaaaaaaaaay for little heartbeats!! I’m so excited and happy for you guys! What a great week! 🙂
