week 7 I think that the calcutator for determining what week I'm in on this website is wrong. Cause if I'm due on October 27 and a pregnancy lasts 280 days (40 weeks) and counting backwards I am now on day 44 which is in my 7th week. But this website says that I'm in my 6th week. I guess it's not a big deal, just an observation.

Too much overtime I'm still feeling very tired. And I'm nausous all the time. I'm not throwing up though, it's just a constant nuseated feeling that won't leave. I'm trying to not work so much overtime at work. But it's hard. no one knows I'm pregnant, so to them it might be just comming off as lazy, or not a team player. I know they are all thinking why do they have to work all this overtime, but I'm not. I can do six days a week, that's not really the problem, it's just working more than the 8 hours a day is killing me. Johan doesn't want me to work a minute over 40 hours, but I don't know if that is possible, not now anyways, when I get further along. I don't know if I owe the boss a reason as to why I'm cutting back on the overtime. At least I don't know if I should tell him now. He's not the understanding type, but he'd be aware of why. When he finds out I'm due end of October I'm sure the first thing he'll think of is that I'll be out of work during the busy holiday season, and he won't hold back in telling me that either. I'm going to tell a few close friends a work, but other than that I want to not let it out until after my first doctor's appointment on March 24th.

The morning sickness is on it's way. I can feel that the morning sickness is on its way. I've had increasing nausea in the past few days, but it hasn't fully hit yet. Yesterday and today I woke up pretty naseated, having a few saltine crackers before I sit up has helped. Today at work I had a little bout with it too. I'm still feeling pretty tired all the time. But alteast I'm not working so much this week, and I'm definitely going to have two days off.
I've set up my first doctors appointment. It will be on Friday, March 24th at 2pm. That was the earliest Friday that they could get me in. I'll have to take the day off of work cause they didn't have any morning appointments unless I waited untill April and that is too far. I wanted to make sure that I got a Friday so that Johan could come with me. I hope they do an ultrasound at the first appointment. I can't wait to see my baby.

I'm Pregnant! 2/22/06
We decided on our 3rd wedding anniversary in July 2005 to try for a baby. The doctor advised us to wait three months before trying because I was just going off the pill. So the first month of trying was October 2005. It has only been five months since then, but the dissapointent each month made it seem much longer.
After four months I then decided to try keeping track of my Basal Body Temperature. (BBT tracking). It is ment to tell me when I ovulate. I am not entirely sure that this helped me get pregnant. We didn't do anything different in that regards as we had done in the previous months. However it was a very good indicator that I was pregnant. About five days after ovlutation my chart showed that I was triphasic. In researching that I found out that in almost all cases that was due to pregnancy. But it was the only month in which I had recorded my temperatures, so I couldn't be sure.
As the days went on though I had a pretty strong feelling that I was. On day 31 when I was to get my period I knew for sure that I was. I did wait 4 more days to take the test to make sure that the test came back postitive. Not becuase I had doubts whether or not I was pregnant, but because I thought that there might not be enough of the hormone in my system yet to show a postive result.
And so here we are day 35, Tuesday February 21, 2006. I'm not sure how to describe how I feel. I'm very excited, yet it still hasn't totally sunk in yet. We've told a few family members so far. We'll tell more in the next few days. I am five weeks pregnant. and according to the fertility website my due date will be October 27, 2006. I have to still set up my first appointment with my doctor. Overall I guess I feel okay. I'm very tired (and working so much doesn't help) but I haven't experience any morning sickness yet. But I'm afraid that that will be here soon.
