Hi! So I have only been trying to conceive for a month now. My period is due tomorrow and I am hoping it does not come. I have taken a few pregnancy tests and they are negative so maybe it is too early. I will have to update when I find out if I am preggers or not. I am keeping my fingers crossed. :) 9-12-07

Ok I am 3 days late for my period. I still have not gotten a postive home pregnancy test. I feel like crap though. I got up at 11 a.m. and then slept for 2 hours in the afternoon. I feel so sick to my stomach. I keep thinking I am hungry and that is why my tummy hurts. So I eat and then I feel worse. My husband wants to go grocery shopping so I hope I feel up to it later today. I think I am going to see the doctor tomorrow for a blood test. I feel silly going in though when I have not had a postive test. They will probably think I am crazy. 9-16-07

So, a few hours before my doctors appt. my period started. I knew I was going to jinx myself. Well I of course did not got to the doctor. I forgot how bad my periods were before I took birth control. I have really bad cramps. I am laying in bed with a heating pad and I am miserable. I am not sure how many periods like this I can take. Well maybe I need to be off birth control longer. I also am going to try an ovulation test this next time. Well I am back to square one. I will keep you updated. 9-17-07 Baby dust to all!

Reality has set in and I am really sad. My husband and I have agreed to try for one more month. I really want a baby that is born in the summer time when I have a break from school/teaching. So, if we try again and conceive the due date will be around June 20th. I am not sure I want my baby due after that because I will not get enough time off with it. It is funny how complicated life can be and how plans never work. My mom got pregnant with me the first month she tried so I wish it was that easy for me. Well if it does not happen this month I might be waiting up to two years before we try again. Only because I have student teaching in a year and I do not want to be pregnant during that super stressful time. Wish me luck. 9-17-07

I am so ready for AF to go away. I want to start BDing again. I am really hoping I can relax and not stress out so much this time. I just really want a baby of my own. I watch an 11 month old (I am a nanny) I really wish I could bring her home and keep her. I also am always jealous of people that are expecting or have kids. My husband is always telling me who is expecting at his office and I am always upset that it is not me. I also am so jealous of his siblings they all have lots of kids. We have 10 nieces and nephews between his 3 siblings. They are all quite a bit older than us though so they got a head start when I was in middle school. His closest sibling is 9 years older than him and he is 2 years older than me. Still I just want one baby. My friend who is my age just had a baby Monday and she is not married and it was not planned. I get so frusterated on why she can have a child and I can't ahhhhh! Thanks I just needed to vent. 9-19-07

So I found out today that I might be lossing my job come the new year. My spring class schedule conflicts with my bosses work schedule. I am a nanny. I am thinking about substituting though and that has me really excited. I really want some experience teaching on my own. I just did not know when I would have time. Sometimes God works in mysterious way. I also might still watch the little girl I am watching now one day a week which would be perfect because I adore her. I just have to make sure that I have some sort of income especially if we have a baby on the way. Question I am using the ovulation predictor strip things and I was wondering when I should start using them in my cycle because I am not sure if I am regular? 9-22-07

Today I fell down a flight of cement stairs. I scraped my knee up really bad and did something to my ankle/foot. I have not gone to the doctor yet. I figured that I would have cried if I broke something and so far I just see swelling and lots of bruises. I think if I am still in pain in a few days I will let my doctor see it. I was leaving my apartment and I was all dressed up to observe in an elementary classroom and they had the sprinkers going on the outside set of stairs. So I thought that I would get less wet if I ran threw them. I must have missed a step because I ending up flying down them and landing at the bottom. I still ended up all wet. I am such a clutz:)
Anyways update of the baby luck. I did the ovulation strips as soon as my period ended and I ended up ovulating on day 10 of my cycle which was way earlier than I thought I would. This was last weekend. So now I am in the 2 week wait. I think we did not baby dance at the right time last month. Anyways we got this time covered. I keep doing more strips just in case that time was wrong it seemed so early for a 31 day cycle oh well I guess it has to be confusing. 10-4-07

So I was impatient and yesterday (Sun) I tested. I knew it was at least a week early maybe only five days I guess it depends on how long my cycle is. Well I saw a really faint positive line. I showed it to my husband and he saw it too. So since I did the test in the afternoon, I thought I would retest this morning. I did not see any line this morning. I am wondering if it is too early and that is why it did not show up again? I will have to test later this week. I am keeping my fingers crossed:) 10-8-07

On Wednesday I got another faint postive and on thursday I got a dark postive and the word pregnant on a digital test. I am so happy. We have already told all of our family. Everyone is so excited. The only symptoms I have are acne (which I hope goes away) and greasy hair. I think I am producing a lot of oil on my head hmmm. I also feel like my stomach/uterus is stretching. I can handle all of this so far no really bad symptons. 10-12-07

Today is my first doctors appointment. Wish me luck! 11-7-07

I know you were hoping we weren't going to say this, but don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.0 pounds and that your labor will be about 13 hours long.
