Today's Thoughts

I’m looking forward to the time that I actually feel like I’m pregnant. I kinda feel like it in the mornings – when I get up and my breasts are sore and feel heavy, but that feeling goes away when I’ve been up for a while. They still feel sensitive, but not sore.

I talked the nurse yesterday afternoon (in my vanpool because that’s when she called me back) about the whole constipation issue, and she suggested some things I already knew like whole grains, veggies, fruit, etc., but she also said apple juice might help too. So I’m seeing if the frosted mini wheats, the banana, the sandwich with whole wheat bread, and the apple juice will help. I hope so. Otherwise, she suggested that I try Metamucil. I hope everything else works. The thought of Metamucil makes me feel icky.


I had a couple other people in my department come up to me and say congratulations. I really expected to be telling everyone in a much different way. I had this whole big idea in my head how I was going to tell family and friends, but that all changed when I started with the blog. I didn’t know I would be telling people this early, but after (nearly) 5 years of trying, I doubt I would have been able to hold it in that long. I still haven’t told my vanpool though I had a good opening yesterday. Someone asked me if I was going to watch Lost, and I said, I’m way too tired. I doubt I’ll be able to stay awake. I could have continued to explain why, but I didn’t. I fell asleep on my couch at 7 and woke up again at 8:20 when Tyra was being annoying on the TV on America’s Next Top Model.

I kinda wish I had done the 2nd beta today. Oh well. And I almost bought a pregnancy test last night, but I didn’t. I wasn’t sure if I should spend my money on something just so I can see it say “pregnant” or give me double lines or whatever the specific test says. But I think I will sometime this weekend.
