I Do Love to Shop!

Since the bottles I'm intent on using don't seem to be available in stores anymore, I just bought a double pack of Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 bottles! I'm guessing it's a decent start! I wouldn't normally buy things like that so early... but I'm afraid they're not going to be around for much longer! So, we do what we have to do in order to get our way, don't we! LOL

I know this is going to sound childish... but they feel like a boob... and it fascinates me! LOL They're the Adiri Natural Nursers... White Stage 1, Blue Stage 2, Orange Stage 3!

If only all baby purchases were so quick and easy! Who wants to buy me a crib and changing table? No one? Oh... :(

Boobs ache more right now than I remember them aching this morning. But sometimes it's hard to keep track of just how unpleasantly sore they are from one moment to the next! I feel a bit short on sleep today! I got about 7.5-8 hours last night... which is a far cry from the 10 I'd have liked. Then, my nap today was only about 1 hour! I prefer 2-3! LOL So, I'm tired... but surviving! Early to bed for me tonight!

Also managed to go buy some new clothes (for me) yesterday... I made sure they were all relatively future-bump friendly though! In fact, 2 of the shirts would be super cute with a bump! Now, if only I can turn this mass of fatty tissue into something more baby-related! HA!

Off to dinner for us, I think! Cracker Barrel! YUM! Then, maybe a movie... if I'm still awake!

An Introduction!

My name is Megg. My husband is Kevin. We're both 29, and have been working on starting a family (off and on) for a few years. We were delighted in October of last year when I got a positive pregnancy test. But, at my 10 week appointment, all the sonographer found was a gestational sac measuring 5w2d. She thought I should be really happy, because I was trying to get pregnant and the ultrasound showed that I was. She didn't seem to care that I knew things were terribly wrong. But, I got follow-up for the next week and (of course) it showed no new growth. The sonographer was the only one in the room who was surprised. So, I took the pills to get things moving since my body wasn't doing it on its own... and then back to trying!

Cycle Zero (the days following a miscarriage bleed before the first actual period after it) was a HUGE mind-trip! It dragged on and on and on! No sign of my period. No sign of a 2nd line on tests. I knew in my heart that I wasn't pregnant again... but I had to wait and see what would happen. Well, it never showed on its own. So, eventually, I took pills again to bring it on.

I had never been so happy to get my period! And, I went into Cycle One (starting Feb 19) with a VERY positive attitude! I was taking Soy Isoflavones (200mg CD5-9)... and I just knew it would be my cycle! The Soy did its thing. Ovulation came right on time! I felt like it was good and strong based on the very welcomed pain! LOL My temperatures were the best I'd ever seen... mostly! I had a few dips that drove me to near insanity! I just knew I was out a few times... but somewhere inside I had a feeling.

I was having strange dreams, craving milk, had an achy back and hips... all very peculiar! Then I started to get some very familiar feelings in my lower abdomen that I was happy to be feeling! Then, on March 21 (just a few days ago), I got another positive test! It was faint, but definitely there. And, now that its dry... There is NO mistake! :)

I honesty never thought it would happen for me again. I just couldn't be that lucky twice! But, here I am! I'm about 4.5 weeks based on ovulation date... and not a hitch yet! Of course, I can't see what's going on in there... but things feel as if they're going well enough. I have plenty of little twingy feelings... achy boobs... ability to sleep wicked amounts of time! Just hoping my little Soy Bean sticks around this time!

That's about all I have for the moment! There's only so much that can be said at 4w4d pregnant! But, I'm trying to be hopeful... and I don't want to miss a single thing this time!

Until next time!
