One set down!

Last night, Mom and Dad picked up Carter from daycare and took him to Dairy Queen for dinner. Chris and I decided to go out ourselves to eat. After we were done, we went to their house to pick him up. I whispered in Carter's ear to say that he was going to be a big brother. They were surprised but Emily was shocked. So, they know. We are probably going up to Delaware on Sunday to tell his parents.

I am just so tired. By the time I got home yesterday, I was wiped out. I laid on the couch while Chris got ready to go out. Then I crashed as soon as I got home. But, I know it just gets worse!!

Well, it's out now!

I took a digital test this morning and within seconds, it turned to "pregnant". That's enough proof for me! :) We are probably going to tell the grandparents this weekend. I know it's early still, but I can't keep secrets! Especially fun ones like this.

I'm still very crampy, but the dizziness seems to have gone away. The girls hurt still but not as bad as last week. I'm feeling stuffy but I'm not sure if I'm just fighting off the cold that many people around me have been dealing with or what.

Chris is excited. I am too, I'm just hesitant about what is in store for me. My last pregnancy was a breeze. Let's hope this one is too!!

First doctor's appointment is set

I called them today and was anxious to hear just how long it would be until they would want to see me. Surprisingly, I have an appointment for November 3rd. The nurse asked if I had a positive HPT and I said yes. I'm sure it is. And if for some reason I'm not, I'll just cancel the appointment.

So, yippie for another foray into the crazy world of being a fat, but good fat!

Well...

First of all, for some reason, Blogger is saying that my blog is locked for possible violations of TOS. WTF?!?! But, apparently, it's still letting me post, so who knows.

Well, I took another test this morning. I'm supposed to start either Friday or Saturday...possibly. I sat there waiting for it and then decided to go ahead and get in the shower and not stand around for it. I got out and saw the FAINTEST line indicating that it was positive. So, I guess I was right! I have one more and will take it on Friday or Saturday just to get a definite answer. But, I'm calling the doctor today to set up an appointment.

At least I have more hopes that I'm not going crazy. The feelings and the pains just were not right and if they were all in my head, wowzers.

Still nothing...

But, I'm still feeling stuff. Who knows. I'm trying not to worry about it. I bought another box of tests. I'll wait until late this week to take one though. 

That's it though. I'll update later if there is any other news to announce! :)

I caved...

So, I took one last night. I shouldn't have wasted it, but oh well. Of course it came out negative. But, I'm not discouraged...it was too early. I'm going to wait until next week now. Beth at work told me that I was not a patient person the other day about something else. I used to think that I was. Apparently in my advancing age (yeah, not really...I'm still a youngin!) I'm getting less and less patient. I think it's more when it comes to things involving myself. I can be patient with others...maybe not as much anymore, but when it comes to me, I have to know NOW!! Which is why I like to plan things...I want to have it all laid out well in advance. Oh well. This will allow me to practice my skills!

More feelings...

Okay, so I'm either really psyching myself out, or I'm having some nasty symptoms already. All day yesterday I was incredibly dizzy and had a massive headache. I went to bed last night at 8pm. Carter wasn't even totally asleep yet!! Today I feel more rested (better after sleeping ten hours!!) but I'm still very dizzy. I still have the weird twinges and slight cramps going. This waiting around just to find out if I'm totally going crazy or not is the worst! I have two expensive tests at home. I figured I would buy the higher quality ones to ensure getting a more accurate response. But even still, I really can't take one until at least Friday. Especially since I really have no idea when the big C actually happened due to my wacky cycles.

I will say, at least I know the possibility is there and I'm already being careful as to what I take and such. I'm supposed to take Aleve every day for my knee, but I haven't been lately. Yesterday with the headache, I did take one, but I didn't take anymore the rest of the day. I need to buy me a bottle of Tylenol...especially if I am and this PG is going to be as bad as it's starting out to be.

If I am, I think I may have a cute way of telling the grandparents. I think I'm going to get Carter to draw some pictures and then write on them, "Guess what, Nana and Papa/Pop and Coco!...(inside) I'm gonna be a big brother!" and then write his name. That way they have something to save if they wanted. This time around is so much more exciting. I don't have the stress of telling them and just the stress of Carter's creation on me. Now it's just how am I going to manage being a mom of two after the night I had last night with Carter. *sigh* Baby steps...I don't even know if it's the big event yet. Hurry up Friday.
