5 Weeks!

 A week has gone by already I cant believe it! I did have some brown spotting on Sunday after walking the treadmill at the gym it made me nervous so I decided to take it easy and rest. It cleared up the same day thankfully. This is the second time I have had brown spotting for an hour or so then it goes away so hopefully everything goes ok. I told the dr and they said if it turns red to head to the ER but that never happened. I also made my first apt on Monday they want to get me in for an ultrasound. I think it's too early since I'll be 5w6d but only time will tell. I'm so excited to hopefully see our little bean. My symptoms have faded this week still super bloated and achey boobs now and then but the fatigue is gone. Also I get super gassy at night (tmi?) Here's the latest pics I know there is nothing to see but it will be fun to see how this little bump grows.

4week update and new books!

Got my pregnancy journals today. One is more indepth with lots of info, and the other is more cutesy and fun. I originally ordered them both just to see what one I liked better then I could return it but I like them both, so I'm keeping both! 

Here is my 4 week update. I'll be doing this every Tuesday! This may seem a little silly posting already since I don't have any signs or symptoms really and it's still early but I'm excited for what is to come!! Still a bit disappointed at what my starting weight is and that I let myself gain 10lbs before getting pregnant but hoping to lose a few only in the next couple weeks since my eating will be back to normal and healthy again. 

just chubby haha

BFP!!

Never in a million years did I think I would be posting about our BFP already! Thankfully I have been temping and was able to catch that I O'd early this month vs. last month. We hit O-5, O-4, O-2, and O so needless to say we had great timing. I started testing with Wondfos at 8DPO of course that's normally too early but I am not one for patience. I repeatedly got BFN but noticed they were super streaky even when I would lay them flat right away. I had been having some weird symptoms such as heartburn, my  nipples killed me which is unusual and also one night when I went to bed I was laying on my stomach and I felt this tugging/pulling type feeling right under my belly button. It was so strange and I told hubby about it and he was like "what does that mean," obviously I said "I have no idea" but it was different.

After seeing the streakiness of the Wondfos and my symptoms I decided I should bust out my FRER just to be sure and see what happens. So I stuck it in my testing cup, set it on the counter and started brushing my teeth to get ready for church. I honestly wasn't expecting a BFP but I looked over as I was brushing them and saw the second line pop up. Hubby was out in the kitchen so I picked it up and walked it over to him mouth full of toothpaste and all and told him "I'm not kidding right now" and he smiled and I walked back into the bathroom and took another one and waited the line came up again I was freaking out. My little brother was at the house and so that made things a little less romantic but at the same time I didn't think I would have a positive.

Parents to be!

Darker in person

Sorry we look so messy haha we were still waking up/getting ready

So after that we headed to church and I knew I had to tell my mom right away. She teaches sunday school so we walked into her classroom and had my step dad follow and shut the door behind her. I had my sticks in my purse and told her we had something to tell her she started to get worried and asked what was wrong, I of course couldn't find the tests so that worried her even more then finally I got them and showed them to them and she started crying and my step dad said he knew it!

We then went to service and it was hard to stay quiet. My other little brother showed up to church a little bit late and of course I had to go pee so as I was walking to the bathroom he asked said "haha you're pregnant and have to pee" (we hadn't told him yet) and then when I came back he asked me how my Zygote was and I looked over at my husband if he told him and my brother was like "wait, what" so that slipped haha

After church we went to lunch to celebrate at olive garden. It was hard seeing everyone have beer and wine while I had my water but I know it's best!

When we got home we took some pictures that I had seen on Pinterest that I wanted to take when I found out I was pregnant 

The next day (Today) I was so exhausted I don't get how all of a sudden things can change, maybe it was in my head but maybe not. I'm also super bloated and crampy. Not period cramps but just uncomfortable. Every time I go to the bathroom I expect to be spotting but hopefully it's a sign of baby C getting nestled in! I of course took another test to confirm and I have a digi on the way! 

darker today!!

We told H mom and step dad as well at their work, they were so excited and we told his dad and step mom via skype. They go vacationing in California every summer for 4 months so we didn't want to make them wait. We are only telling the parents for now then will make the general announcement when I reach 12 weeks. 

I made my first appointment with my dr today. They said they have you come in between 6-10 weeks so I made the apt for 6 weeks of course, I'm not one for waiting : D Anyway we are so excited but of course nervous about all of this!! Tomorrow marks 4 weeks!

No More Crosshairs and weightloss progres!

So last time I had posted I had dotted CH on Fertility Friend then the following day I had a temp drop and they went away. I did another OPK test this morning with second urine and it looked close to being positive so I can honestly say I literally have no idea what is going on with my body so when in doubt, hump it out haha.

This week is my predicted fertile week with Fertility Friend and Ovia so our plan is ED sex until Monday then back to EOD and we will see what happens. We head out to Chicago on Wednesday so ED sex won't be an issue with being on vacation : D

Weightloss front has been nothing significant been sitting steady at the same weight which sucks but I have no one to blame but myself. I have been so lazy when it comes to food I just want to eat out and drink, I can't kick the laziness and can't get out of this funk and I don't know what will make me change my mind and get back in it. Hubby is going to enter his bulking faze when we get back from Chicago and I decided to reactivate my bodybugg which is a calorie counter and start mixing my Herbalife with my bodybugg and calorie counting and see if that helps. I know when I get into the routine I will stick with it it's just giving me that push. I want to look my best for mexico and really tone up my legs so that will be my ultimate goal.

Dotted Crosshairs today...

Well my temp fell back down a little bit today but when I put it in I got dotted cross hairs from fertility friend. If I take out my EWCM then they go away completely but I left them in. If that ends up being the proper CH then I am 3 dpo right now and hit cycle days -3, -1 and +2 but only time will tell. Also I took an OPK test this morning and is a blazing positive but I used FMU, I took one later in the day and nothing. So my body is acting all kinds of weird today so I guess only time will tell. We BD last night and also today but won't tomorrow since my H will be camping but back at it Sunday just in case.  It's so crazy to me how it can be so hard to get pregnant but then you have ppl out there who have one night stands and have a baby to show for it. I know God has his plan for everyone and that no matter what we want the timing to be its not ours to choose but I can't wait to ask him about it in heaven. (I'm sure that will be the last thing on my mind.

Today was a pretty slow day, I worked from home as always, hit the gym and got an awesome workout. I did 30 min cardio of HIIT training, did shoulders and triceps and then sat in the sauna and was literally fully covered in sweat when I left, it was awesome.

Tomorrow will be another lazy day but hitting the gym to do legs a little scared since my last leg day left me sore for almost a week!

CD14 wish I had answers.

So last night I had some EW mucus right before going to bed I put it into fertility friend and it gave me the green light saying I'm fertile even tho it has my fertile window as next week which is perfect with our vacation but then at under that it says probably not fertile. So it's giving me mixed ideas.

I never got a for sure O date last month due to dotted cross hairs on fertilit friend so I have no idea how relative my new possible O date is to that. Last month was my first month charting so at the beginning I kept waking up thinking I was going to miss the alarm so I think that sent everything for a loop all I know is I obviously missed my O date. I switched to vaginal temping this month due to being a mouth breather and I have seen a lot more consistency. So if I have another rise in temps tomorrow I think fertility friend will call it an O. More on that tomorrow.

So after all that I decided to take a OPK test in hopes of finding out what the deal was but I used FMU and got an almost positive. I've been told its not a good idea to use FMU so I took it with a grain of salt (is that the right saying?) and went and had some of my tea figured I might as well start the day with burning some calories due to it being a thermogenic and read some of my latest book called "The Cellar" love it so far but it's for sure a weird one

love overcast mornings

I have been lazy as far as how much I move now during the day since I work from home as I mentioned before and that has led to me putting on a few lbs with it. My goal weight was originally 135lbs and I reached that and now being at 145 I need to get back to that. I actually wanted to be a little under my goal, like around 125ish lbs before I got pregnant that way when I put on 20-30lbs it wouldn't be too detrimental to what my goals are. (A healthy weight range for my height is 115-154) so technically I am by no means overweight I just know I can feel better abut myself. That being said I went out and did some shopping today and bought some new workout clothes and hit the gym. 

A little retail therapy never hurt anyone 

I wish I could get these thighs to slim

I hit the weights and did some cardio followed by my favorite thing the sauna! I really want to make sure my body is used to working out and being fit that way when I get pregnant I can stay active. I am terrified of gaining a ton of weight while pregnant so I want to do what I can to keep it healthy and be ready for it. Obviously I know to expect a gain of 20-30lbs but I want it to stay in that range. I have focused so much on losing the last 4 years it will be hard for my brain to comprehend gaining. 

My kinda snaps

All in all it was a great day I hit over 11k steps after we walked our dogs and came home showered, and now I'm about to go BD to hopefully hit his O haha.
