Nausea

Today isn't so bad. I had a little nausea in the afternoon. We had to get our car looked at because the check engine light came on as i was on the road today. As I was waiting for our car to get fixed and felt awful. Like I was going to puke but not really. I could feel my tummy doing weird things. They weren't cramps. It just felt like something was happening. My head was spinning and i just felt light headed and dizzy.

I actually woke up feeling pretty slim today. Not sure why. Maybe because it had to do with the new jeans I recently bought. I've noticed myself buying baggier jeans just cause it fits me better in the thigh area. When I put them on today, I felt so thin! :)

Jeremy has been very supportive. This morning he made sure I ate breakfast. I tend to skip breakfast on the weekends jsut cause I want to be out and about doing stuff. He made sure I had my calcium and asked me whether I wanted toast or if he could make me something. how sweet.

Well, tomorrow we go for a couple's massage. i always look forward to massages! Soooooooo relaxing!

When to tell?

Tonight Jeremy and i were looking up baby names. We have a few names that we like but it's still very early and haven't settled on any names yet. Obviously once we find out whether it's a boy or a girl, we'll have a better idea.

We're also still going back and forth as to when we want to tell our families. They've been waiting for this for a while since we have been married for 2 years now. We don't want to put them in the situation if we (god forbid) misscarry.

I think it would be a nice to tell them at Thanksgiving. By then it'll be about 14 weeks which is when the chance of misscarriage is lower.

I just want to tell the whole world!! :)

History

I found this site this morning trying to look for other women who may or may not have the symptom/feelings I've been having. I stumbled onto this site. I love it! I just wanted to back log all my experiences so far so I have it all somewhere and maybe if someone is going through the same things I am going through in the future they can read this and will know that someone else is experiencing what they are.

My husband and I decided to start trying back in May. My brother is getting married in 2 weeks and I wanted look good in pictures and fit in my dress so we put off trying until closer to his wedding.

In May and June we were unsucessful in concieving. The third month I felt a slight difference. I could sense somehow that I was pregnant. Perhaps some of it was wishful thinking but I think some of it was sort of a sixth sense.

My husband and I decided to take a pregnancy test on August 3rd (our 2nd anniversary) since it would be a nice anniversary present to find out that we were pregnant. With my anxiousness, at two minutes to midnight on August 2nd, 2005 I snuck and tookt he pregnancy test. I had misplaced the test result instructions so after the results showed in the window, I wasn't sure what it meant. I did some researching online on the Clear Blue site and it didn't have pictures, just descriptions. It still didn't make sense.

I could sense that I could be pregnant so we drove to a 24hrs shoppers drug mart and bought another test. took the instructions home and compared. It turned out i wasn't pregnant. I cried that night. we were both really disappointed.

A few days passed and I still didn't get my period. I had a sense I was pregnant tho. so I waited. I didn't want to be disappointed again. We agreed that we'd do it together this time and that I would take the test the morning of Saturday August 13th (10 days later).

I woke up at 7am. Excited and really having to go to the washroom... so I did. Took the test. It was positive. I showed Jeremy. He smiled. We hugged and stayed in bed most of the morning, talking. I was so happy. Throughout the day I kept checking the results to make sure it hadn't chanaged. :)

That afternoon I made an appointment to see our doctor. we had an appointment on monday. While waiting for the doctor i was so nervous. This was the true test to see whether i was really pregnant.

We had our first doctors visit and she verified that I was pregnant. we have to go back before 12 weeks to get blood work done and make another appointment at 12 weeks for our first ultrasound!

I can't wait!

Don't feel pregnant

This morning i woke up early. I don't feel pregnant today. My breasts aren't as sore or tender as they have been in the past few weeks.

The past two nights i've been getting cramps and yesterday i had lower back pains. I did some reading on the internet about miscarriages. I'm scared. It said that lower back pain and cramps are the signs of miscarriage. After further reading they are also signs of pregnancy as well. Jeremy says not to worry. Everyone is different.

6 weeks and 2 days :)
