I just realized I'm gonna be one of those - I'm totally making photo Christmas cards with our baby's face on it next year! Proud mama....to the extreme? I hope not. Who am I kidding...of course it'll be to the extreme! Can't wait.
I can't believe how ridiculously excited I am this time. Like seriously. I think last time it was more scary because I wasn't sure I was ready. This time I just wanted to be pregnant again so bad! I'm not even that worried anymore. Just happy. Feels good. 2 weeks till our first appointment and ultrasound. Can't wait!

Gender Predictions
Ok, I know. You cannot really predict the gender of your baby [maybe after a few]. But for some reason, this time around I really feel we could be having a boy. Last time I was convinced it was a girl. I was having baby girl dreams. But this time it's different. I know I'm just crazy, but we'll see.

And then there were three...AGAIN!
And man it feels fanfuckentastic! I'm pregnant! And I could not be anymore happy.
I had been feeling really tired and nauseous all last week, but I didn't think much of it. G and I had decided that we would stop preventing this month since I had already had 2 regular cycles. But we totally thought we missed out chance! Well by the grace of God I ovulated late and coincidently did the deed on that very day. It was so mean to be because we thought our chance had come and gone.
I immediately become consumed with the idea that I may be pregnant after all. I decided I would wait until Sunday to test. AF was due on Saturday. As always, that didn't work out. I ended up taking a test Friday morning. I couldn't sleep! Sure enough it came up positive right away. I was in such shock I didn't even react to it all until later that night when I told G.But I decided I'd tell my sister right then because I had to tell some one. G worked all morning and then I left to visit my friend A before he got home. I didn't want to tell him over the phone either. Since I wanted him to know first I didn't even tell A. Boy was that hard! I was bursting with exciting on the inside, but had to keep my cool.
On my way home that night I stopped at CVS by our home and bought G a card. I went home and wrote a long ass note about how our time had finally came again. I put the note on his pillow and waited for him to get home. It was great once he finally read it. He was floored.
On Sunday I took another test. G wanted to see one and it was our anniversary, so it was cool to do. Like our gift to ourselves! ;) I started getting really scared after that and had been holding off on calling my doctor. I was so paranoid. But I finally went in for a urine test to get the referral to go back to my lady doctor. The positive came right up at the doctor's office and felt really good.
I made my first prenatal appointment right away. They told me they were booked until after Christmas, but I decided to play th e"miscarriage card" to get an earlier appt. The girl on the phone totally sympathized and was able to squeeze me in in 2 weeks. Assome! Should be enough time to see a heartbeat as I'll almost be 7 weeks.
So this time around we are going to make sure to keep this our secret until we at least see a heartbeat. If all goes well at my first ultrasound on Dec. 13th then we may make an announcement at Christmas. I haven't decided yet though, since I would only be 8 weeks. With everything that has happened we are definitely taking this one day at a time. Living in the moment and trying to not to worry about the future. Filling our heads with positive thoughts. This is why I have made this blog completely private....for now. I want to write everything here, but I'm not ready for the world to know. Soon enough.
As for the stats -
I'm 4 weeks 4 days
EDD: August 2, 2008
Symptoms so far:
- Lots of nausea [almost got sick at a party Saturday]
- Sore Nipples [started yesterday]
- Mild cramps all last week but have tapered off.
- Emotional wreck

- and fatigue....I am SO tired. Usually hits after lunch and gets really bad around 4pm.

Very Late Update
I forgot to come back and update. I ended up getting a visit from AF on friday the 26th. I had a 28 day cycle which is assome. My body isn't all fucked up afterall. However, AF has been sticking around a little longer than usual. I'm at CD7 and still spotting.
Nothing else to report. All has been well in the emotional front. Except that maybe we won't be trying for a baby just yet. At least not this cycle. I need to get back that sense of normalcy for getting back on the baby making track. But this is an issue that continues to flip flop in my head. Only time will tell.
