I've been experiencing some pretty severe pain above my pubic region for over a week now. The Doctor orignally thought it might be a urinary tract infection but the test came back negative for any infection this morning. So he has me going back tomorrow morning for more tests. I believe he'll do an internal ultrasound to try and rule out an ectopic pregnancy so hopefully everything is fine and baby is where he/she needs to be!
How far along are you? 5 weeks today!
How big is baby? Apple Seed
Weight gain/loss? I'm up 3 pounds right now but it's all just bloat.
Stretch marks? None from the baby yet.
Maternity clothes? Nope – not yet. But I might cave and get some pants because of this bloat none of mine (other then yoga pants) fit comfortably.
Best moment this week? We told my family on Friday & Saturday and oh man were their tears of joy! That was last week but I'm counting it. On Monday my fabric samples for the baby's bedding arrived in the mail. We won't order it yet but I still asked for the sample anyway.
Gender? I think its a girl
Movement? No, way too early
Belly button? In
Symptoms? Severe pain above my pelvic area. I'm going to the Doctor at 10:30 tomorrow to rule out anything terrible (ie: ectopic) because the pain is making me vomit.
Cravings? Pasta & Potato
What do I miss? Wine & Chicken (Chicken makes me throw up right now)
What I’m looking forward to this week? Telling DH's one sister tomorrow night and possibly having an ultrasound tomorrow. Not for the best reason but I'll take it.
Milestones? I hit 5 weeks today. I have officially missed a period. To me, that made this a lot more real.

This is really happening!?!
I have severely slacked off on updating this. Now that I have my own laptop it should be a lot easier. I really need to get someone to design me a nicer layout. I think I'll look into that this weekend. In the meantime... here's an update :)
For the last week I haven't been feeling that well. I've been tired, nauseous and just all around feeling not so hot. We went away to our friends house last weekend and I really didn't feel right. When we got home Sunday night, I took a pregnancy test. Within 15 seconds a 2nd line showed up right away. I was shocked. We had been trying, but I really didn't think our timing was that great this cycle.
I ran out of the washroom laughing/crying and yelled at C that I saw two lines. His responce was 'What does that mean? Are you pregnant!?" to which I said "I think so!". He proceeded to grab the test, box and directions and read lol He didn't think the line was dark enough, even though I kept saying "A line is a line!". We decided I would test again the next morning.
So Monday morning rolls around, I tested again with another First Response Early Repsonce and a Digital for good measure :) Both were positive. I ran in the bedroom and was so excited I started waving them around like a crazy woman. C was half asleep and was like "I can't see them!" lol So I showed him and we were like "Okay, this is really happening...we think".
I called my Doctor Monday afternoon and they had me go in right away for blood work to confirm and get my HsG number. They called me yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon to tell me that Yup, I'm pregnant!!!! My HcG level was 38, perfectly normal for only being 10 DPO. Based on my charting with Fertility Friend, I'm 4 weeks along as of today!!
I told my two best friends yesterday. I couldn't keep it from them. I also told my sister. We'll be telling C's parents tomorrow night at dinner, mine on Saturday at dinner and C's sisters & BIL's next weekend. After they know, we're keeping it quiet until after Christmas. At that point we'll be 14 weeks along (give or take) and we'll tell everyone else then.
We're so excited. Cautiously optimistic also. It's still so early, so many things can go wrong, but for now, we love this little baby and pray he/she grows big, strong and healthy. My due date as of right now is June 29th, 2012. This is really happening!!! We are so blessed!!!!
So for now, this is my pregnancy blog :) Hope you'll stay with me through this journey!
