4 freaking days early! I guess I was dead wrong when in my symptom evaluations...
I did get a pos opk kind of late..and then af came early. I'm upset because this would have been good timing with my work schedule. But that's life I guess.

7dpo (7 days after positive opk)
More symptoms:
1. The main symptom I'm experiencing is darker nipples and small bumps on the areolas
2. Gassy, bloated.
3. Woke up with a headache that lingered all day at 5dpo
4. While I was preg with my son, my vagina had a smell that I ABSOLUTELY HATED (and my husband loved) I got a slight wiff of that wiping after peeing at 5dpo
5. SLIGHT SLIGHT SLIGHT, Random nausea
All my symptoms are incredibly subtle but I just know I'm pregnant!

ttc round 2!
Hello! Pregnancy was not an easy fun time for me...so that's why I completely stopped blogging in the middle of my last one. But I'm happy to report I now have a beautiful 1 year old (13 months) who I am still breastfeeding. But he seems to be tapering off.
Dh and I started ttcing this cycle and I got a pos opk on cd 18 which was monday...I think today is 5 dpo....though I'm not sure. ..could be less. But I am SURE I'm pregnant. I'll tell you why:
1 2 days ago...right away, my nipples started to darken, spread, get the little bumps on the areolas and I have brown splotches on my breasts close to the areolas.
2 Today I woke up with a headache that is still lingering ( I don't commonly get headaches)
3. Yesterday I was feeling that breatheless feeling again.
4. Bloated and gassy
I know its extremely early but I KNOW what I feel! And I'm pretty sure I'm preggers.

week 27-Hello again I'm having a boy!
It's been a looong time!
Pregnancy is not easy...at least not for me! Some people love being pregnant. I have learned I am NOT one of those people.
The last time I was here I was still in my first trimester. I am now about 6 months preg. I'll be entering my final trimester soon!
I won't do a long recap because I haven't been here in soo long, it would take ages to type everything I neglected to talk about. I'll just mention the main points and posts a few pics.
Why I have hated being pregnant:
1. I have suffered from nausea continuously. I am still taking the zofran for nausea my dr gave me way back when and I am still unable to stomach my prenatals. Dr says its ok I haven't taken prenatals because they are only supplemental vitamins. She say they can not replace the nutrients and vitamins we get from real food. So I'm gonna go with that.
2. I gained a lot of weight right off the bat. I gained something like 18 pounds during the 1st and 2nd trimester. I started showing earlier than most of the other preg ladies at my job. I was scared of my weight gain though my dr wasn't concerned. And I swear I wasn't eating a lot! Each monthly dr appmt I had my weight would jump 3-5 lbs. Well the last visit I hadn't gained any weight at all. I was relieved and my Dr said I should be right in the target 30lbs total by delivery if I keep it up. She said some people gain a lot at the end other gain a lot at the beginning due to water retention bloating etc. I must have been one of those who gain at the beginning because the weight has leveled off now.
3. A new adventure in pregnancy is hemorrhoids. I haven't felt constipated or anything but there they are. I have had problems with hemorrhoids in the past so I guess it was inevitable I would get them while pregnant. I'll have to wait and see what will happen with that.
4. Achy hips!
5. Easily out of breathe!
6. Laziness!
7. Often tired! I find it hard to keep up on my normal routine.
8. Excessive MUCUS!! Constantly spitting, blowing my nose! TONS of vaginal fluids soiling my underwears constantly!!!! Gross!!
9. All of a sudden, can't process dairy! I love milk! But it hurts coming out!
10. Mood swings!!! Crying easily! I'm not normally a crier but this pregnancy has definitely brought that out of me. Also I feel anger..A LOT.
11. Just general yucky feeling ALL THE TIME, even when I'm having a relatively good day. That yucky undertone is always there.
Why I love being pregnant:
1. My nails are strong and long and just all over lovely! No chipping AT ALL!!
2. My hair is sooo strong. I haven't had a perm in so long (I've decided to transition to natural hair during this pregnancy). I can wash my hair with the 2 textures (new growth and permed ends) and I hardly have ANY hairs come out in the comb when I detangle!!!!!! That NEVER happened to me before!
3. Clear skin!!! Beautiful, bright, clear skin. I haven't changed my routine one bit. My skin just loves being preg.
4. Feeling my baby kick!!!! It's miraculous!!!! My baby's in there playing around, growing! It's AMAZING!!! What a miracle!
And now time for some pics:

Being pregnant SUCKS!
Yup! This is going to be one of those terribly negative posts. If you don't want to hear a pregnant woman complain, x out now.
K, I am soooo miserable! The nausea is unbearable. I'm nauseous all day every day. It started October 1st and I have been sick ever since! Nothing helps! All I want to do is stay home in bed and hope to sleep for the rest of the 1st trimester. I pray. I PRAY for the end of nausea in the 2nd trimester!
I've tried everything to combat it. Crackers, ginger, ginger snaps, sex, vitamin b6, small spread out meals, sitting still, breathing, laying still... NOTHING.
unfortunately I still have to go to work. Kids dont really understand that teacher needs a moment of peace and quiet! I also haven't officially told the adults yet either. I did tell a few other teachers who I'm friends with outside of work as well as a few other teachers who announced they were preg. I just told a few teachers who don't know me well and their reaction was a little negative "who's the father!?". I didn't think about how people would react negatively because I'm not married. To the second lady who asked me that I said "My fiancé, (his name) but I don't think you know him. I mean want do they think of me!? But any way, that's besides the point. I'm going to tell everyone about it next week after my drs appt. I will be 11 weeks then. Not quite 12 weeks but damn close considering all the nausea and vomitting I've lived with, silently.
The nausea has taken a steady yet slow progression towards torture. Finally week 9 and 10 has included projectile vomitting. Its almost like anything I eat comes right back up. But if I don't eat I throw up any way. It's like nasty acidic bile. And I feel sick all day long. I get little to no break. Nothing sound particularly appealing to eat. I try to eat things on the bland side because even though there is a good chance I'll throw it up, for the time it stays in my stomach it will remain some what settled.
This morning on the way to work, as I was driving I was gagging and finally had the strong urge to throw up. I put my hazards on and pulled over to the emergency lane opened up my door leaned over and spewed my guts out. Cars were honking there horns as they passed so I got out of the car and stood in a safer place and let her rip. I felt relief for a little while until i got hunger nausea.
Anyway, pregnancy, sucks!

btw my first OB visit is
Oct 26th. It's for an ultrasound, nurse visit and dr visit. The dr I chose just came back from amternity leave. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. But I have a good feeling about it.
