6 Weeks
Hey everyone!
Well, it looks like this will be my last entry on the preconception website. I was going to wait until I had heaard the heartbeat before switching, but I'm making the move now for two reasons. First of all, the pregnancy today site went down last week and the web administartors are having to rebuild it. So for them, it is a very convenient time to move me over. Secondly, after looking through all of the Canadian medical information, I might not get the chance to hear the heardbeat until 16-20 weeks! I'm hoping I don't have to wait that long, but who knows?
I am still feeling perfectly fine, and of course that is still making me worry:) But I went back to read some of the pregnancy diary writers' stories, and many of them didn't develop symptoms until eight weeks or so. So check in with me in two weeks to see if I'm still singing the same tune!
I am still very hungry and my breasts have grown at insane rates. It's bra shopping for me this weekend! One of my friends at work (nobody here knows I'm pregnant) actually asked me if I was pregnant the other day. I sputtered and asked why? She replied that I was busting out of my shirt!! I made an excuse about shrinking it in the wash:)
Can I tell you how paranoid that I was yesterday? This is pathetic, but I had convinced myself that the blood test was wrong and I couldn't be pregnant. This was after yet another night of fitful sleeping. So I went out and bought a pregnancy test. Yes, I admit it! I brought it to work and immediately, nervously did my thing -- and of course the line was navy blue before I could even get the cap back on! OK -- I guess I really am pregnant.
I can't tell you how much this web site has meant to me over the past 15 months. I never thought I'd say that about a web site, I had never even been on a chat board until now! But I have made some great friends, gotten a lot of terrific support and received advice I really couldn't get anywhere else. Being honest with my hopes, dreams and fears was something I really needed to do -- and this website gave me the outlet to do it. I would like to have another peconception diary when we start trying for our second child.
I would like to wish everyone on this site the best of luck, be you trying "naturally", taking Clomid or other drugs, going through IVF, or taking a break. I can tell that your dark blue line is just around the corner!!
I would love it if you could send a few spare good thoughts my way that I make it through this first trimester, and eventually bring home a healthy, happy baby. I hope you will continue to follow my new oregnancy diary!
Positive thoughts to all!
