Yesterday's on top and today's on bottom


Closeup


Really crappy pic of yesterday's by itself - it's more visible IRL


Today's by itself - it's 2 or 3 times darker today LOL



I am overwhelmed by all the love and congrats on my BFP thread!

I plan to do belly pics for sure. I am waiting for my current bloating to pass because at the moment, I look about 3 months pregnant already. (Constipated terribly and water doesn't seem to help because 10 min later I'm peeing it all out again).

I haven't joined a DDC yet. I will probably go for June and be a May part-time refugee. I'm in no hurry to join one right now though. June's is still pretty empty. I don't wanna go make new friends! *pouting*

I totally forgot about preggy tickers. I am going to go "shop" for one later on today. I will also need to get a new siggy made... so much to do LOL.

Besides my JM post, the only other person I have told is my friend Ann. She's a real life friend from graduate school but she is also the person who introduced me to JM - AnnD for anyone who knows her. Which is why she knew I was TTC and she has been pretty much stalking me about it LOL. She has a 20 month old daughter and she is used to be my mommy role model, but now she is my mommy mentor. She talked to me for over an hour yesterday which was really sweet and helpful.

So Eric and I went to the bookstore last night. Ann had suggested I do a pregnancy journal, she had done one and is happy that she recorded her preggy thoughts and pictures for her daughter. So my pregnancy journal is the yellow book. The blue one is the one Eric picked out! Which I found this morning set open on the coffee table... he must have started reading it after I crashed last night.


Now I need to go get ready for work.... work, that giant waste of time and distraction from all of the pregnancy related things I should be doing instead. I can't believe I have to go there and act normal all day long. It's so surreal. This afternoon I have a blood test with my regular doc to confirm pregnancy. I am going to ask them about progesterone, and hopefully they will take levels for me.

Oh I LOVE looking at BFP pics. :-) So happy for you! And I don't blame you for not joining a DDC yet, this early in the month it is all just full of congrats and people who are still waiting for AF. (Says the girls still waiting for AF).

Thanks for sharing!

Man I love reading these threads! BFPs look great! I remember AnnD from on debates. I think it's wonderful you have her as your mommy role model, I remember hearing you talk about her before. I'm sure a pg journal is a great idea... not just for future LO but for you to go back and re-read, especially in your next pregnancies so you can compare, over analyze (lol) etc. Good stuff! And that's totally sweet that Eric has already cracked open the book! Reading what you and Eric are doing/thinking/talking about so freshly after getting a bfp makes me mentally picture Ben & I and if anyone can stir the baby fever beneath the wedding planning monster within me, it's apparently you! haha! I'm just thrilled for you, Kyle!

sticky



and good luck with them stealing your blood! *shudders*

Shannon... don't worry... I have good VEINS. Sorry, I just had to.

So girls... I took a shower, dried my hair, put on makeup and got dressed, made my lunch, walked out to my car and... I just couldn't do it. I called in sick to work. Eric has the day off today (because he alternates Saturdays and Wednesdays). I could not stomach going to work today, and I feel like I have so many millions of things to do, and I won't be in town this weekend. Once Eric wakes up I'm going to run around and do errands and spend the day with him.

Yay for playing hookie! Maybe one of the errands could be going to the store and getting a FRER, lol. I love looking at positive FRERS. I will Western Union you the cash for it!

It is so cute Eric is already reading about being a daddy And I am liking those BFPs. It for sure is darker today which is always a bonus! Have a great day together!

[ScottishBrit]

[Hoosier Kitty]

I just love BFP pics--and yours are gorgeous! yay for playing hooky. I was lucky to still be on summer break when I got my BFP, and when I got the 1st one it was a Sunday, so I can imagine not wanting to be at work on such a momentous occasion!
