Seriously?

Normally, I am a very lazy person. I don't much care for cleaning and all that jazz. But lately, I have been feeling very productive. It is a very unsettling experience to actually WANT to clean something.

I have been spotted washing laundry and FOLDING it. Amazing! There is a rumor going around that I actually mopped the kitchen floor. Shocking! And according to my husband, I volunteered to change and wash all of the bed sheets. Scandalous!

In addition to all of this productiveness, one night I woke up feeling a little nauseous. The next night I woke up with hip pain. And the next day, I started to FREAK out. Have you ever seen that movie Idiocracy? No? Well, go rent it. Anyways, I was beginning to think that we were the dumb white-trash people with 12 kids from that movie.

So, I packed up my two BABIES and went to buy a home pregnancy test. Let me just say, those were the longest three minutes of the damn life. SERIOUSLY.

The test was negative.

Now let's all breathe a sigh of relief.

Yikes! I can see why the breathing wasn't top priority.

At least your laundry is done!

Oh you poor thing! I did something simiilar about 6 months after having my twins. I was so frantic that I couldn't wait until after work. I drove to mall that had a CVS and then beelined for the food court bathroom. I actually did my pregnancy test on the spot - couldn't even wait until I got back to the office.

Thank god it was negative.

Haveing 4 kids in less than 2.5 years has NEVER been on my to do list (actually - having 3 in 1.5 wasn't either...)

Prior to being pregnant I always cleaned, now I don't give a crap if the toilet is clean or not. It is liberating I must say.

Amanda said...

There must be a cleaning bug in the water your drinking!! haha!
Another baby wouldn't be all that bad though:)

Whoa! You don't want to try for 3 under 3? Just kidding!

I had a close call just like this a couple weeks ago. I couldn't decide if i would be excited or freaked out. Luckily it was negative. I want another one... just not yet!!!

Dooneybug said...

I'm laughing because you know that was me last month. A pregnancy scare is always that more frightening when you've had two under two.

Rachel said...

Before I got to the end of the post-I thought maybe you were pregnant. UGh thank goodness momma. Even though you love your babies, wow-that would be a lot.

Anyway, maybe it just is fall cleaning.

Oh my.....I was thinking that as you kept going......hahaha.....

Stephanie said...

hahahaa, glad it is negative. I have a hard time cleaning...I hate it. I would love to hire someone to clean but can't justify doing as much. Suck...

Congratulations on not being knocked up!

Melissa said...

Exactly! Congrats!

I would just DIE if I had another one right now. Mine are 11 and 9 and just the thought of going back aaaalllllll the way to baby is just too frightening for words.

Chris said...

Good news... Breathe easy. :)

Kris said...

LOL - Congrats then I suppose. Those freak out thinking we're pg moments are fun aren't they? I had a dream I was the other night, so it's on my mind too... I prob won't write about it (or the test that I'll prob take in a few weeks lol) though because my MIL will go off on a tangent that I really don't wanna hear.

I totally understand your relief. But at least if you were, you know you make cute babies.

Tabitha said...

Glad things turned out ok!
