***WARNING-Pregnancy announcement and symptoms mentioned. I know how much I hated reading about this on other blogs when I wasn't in a good place. I will never forget how hard this journey has been and know that it is far from over! I respect all of my fellow IF'ers.
I am still soaking in the fact that I am pregnant. I guess you could say I am cautiously optimistic. As an IF patient its so hard to wonder "what if." I am trying to bury that thought WAYYY back in my brain.
DH and I told our parents last night. My mom cried and screamed and my dad just laughed. If all goes well this will be the first grandbaby for my parents. It will be the 5th for DH's side. Hands down it was the best phone call of my life: )
Since yesterday I've had this dull nauseated feeling that I have chalked up to nerves. It woke me up a few times last night. It stuck around and seemed to get worse today. On my way to my car this afternoon I yaked in my mouth at the sight of a frozen yogurt spilled on the floor of the garage because it looked like vomit. I think it is WAYYY to early for morning sickness, but some of the girls on the message boards say they've had it this early. I don't think I'm willing to admit to it quite yet.
My boobs also seem huge today and there are definitely bright blue veins popping out of them. If I didn't know I was pregnant I would probably wouldn't think anything of it. But it's interesting to see that it really is a symptom!
Tomorrow is beta #2. I am praying for anything greater than 140!
I like to think that I have paid my dues and should have a completely uneventful pregnancy and take home a perfect bundle of joy in 252 days, but I am not stupid or naive. So I ask the good lord to watch over me and this baby and carry us through safely!
YAY YAY YAY! I am so excited for you! This is great news.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!

ReplyDelete(Ps.
