14 DPO

   I told my mom! She is super excited about being a grandmother. Originally, she was thinking about going on a cruise with me and my husband next summer, now she says she would rather stay home and babysit the newborn.

   Every other day, it seems, I go from feeling no symptoms at all to feeling super nauseous and cranky all day. Today is one of my no symptom days. Yesterday, I could barely make it through the day. All I wanted to do is just stay in bed. People have been telling me this is normal. It's just so weird.

My little baby, I can't wait to know you.
Are you a girl?
Or are you a boy?
What shall be your name?
What shall I call you?
Will you have my eyes?
Or your father's nose?
Will you smile constantly?
Or will you be the serious type?
Will you be a dreamer?
Or will you be an analytical thinker?
Oh my sweet baby, I can't wait to know you.

11 DPO POSITIVE TEST!!!!!!

    Today marks 11 days past ovulation, and I have gotten my positive test result at 5pm this evening. I am so excited! Today my boobs are sore and tingly, I have been nauseous since I first woke up this morning. Supposedly, I was supposed to test tomorrow morning, but I POAS (peed on a stick) right after I got home from school this evening just because I was getting antsy, but I was rewarded with a positive. I might post a picture of the test later just to show you.

   I had a presentation to make during one of my classes today. Nervousness and nauseousness really don't mix. Thankfully, I had bought a package of trail mix and a Sprite just beforehand which really helped me control it, but not 100%. I did my presentation, stomach somersaults and all.  I just hope my grade did not suffer from my obvious shaking and sweating. I tried several times to tell my instructor before class that I wasn't feeling well, I guess he has a short attention span because I don't think he listened to me. Oh well, its all over, I've got bigger fish to fry, or babies to hatch!

   I have found myself talking to my tummy this evening, is that weird? I don't care! Its my precious in there.

All Systems Go!

 Everything is playing out and on schedule. Are you ready? It wont be long now!
