Well yesterday evening I didn't get to write the post that I wanted to b/c I got stuck at work until almost 7! I usually get off at about 4:30ish. So that was no fun.. I was actually pretty pissed. It didn't help that I'm trying to quit smoking &I've totally cut caffiene. I did end up having 2 cigs yesterday though. 1 at about 5PM & another before bed. I'm pretty proud about that. I know it wasn't 0, but going from half a pack a day down to 2 in 3 days is pretty good. Especially with the day I had. I might be stuck at work tongiht. I'll be SO pissed if I'm stuck here until 8. Glee is on tonight & they've been airing the new episodes every-other week.. and it's a new episode this week so I'll be so entirely outraged if I miss even a single minute of it. It's the only show I realllly look forward too.
Otherwise, the pregnancy is going well. there's been a huge decrease in the spotting & it's mostly dark brown now, so I'm no longer worried. I have a bit of a backache today, sitting in my chair isn't helping, but I'll deal with it. Also had some mild cramping yesterday, but that's not bothering me either. Otherwise, I'm hungry again.. & I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, but I'm not peeing a lot during the day.. nipples are a little sore, but not too bad. I've noticed since I got the positive that I've been noticing these things, that I had blatently been ignoring before it. I was actually psyching myself up this month for 'failure'. Considering the 'stars were in order' for a wonderful birthday gift & a 2 yr wedding anniversary! It was just too perfect... IT IS too perfect. Which is why I was so worried about having a chemical pregnancy, why I'm still worried about miscarriage, but I will take it day by day because that's all I can do. I haven't told anyone new yet, but I might call my dad sometime this week. I can't imagine waiting until December 8th. I'll tell him when Kevin decides to tell his parents. He is so funny. Last night he kept saying 'if you are' or 'you probably are'.. I kept giving him the look & saying.. "if!? probably!?" - "That was a pretty damn clear positive." ..
We've already started talking about finances & moving. We were planning on moving closer to home sometime next summer. (Probably July cause that's when our lease was up), but it looks like that'll have to wait. Which is .. okay, but I don't want to stay here for much longer than next August. I mean we also talked about using our taxes and moving early. We'll also have the money that I'm going to be saving.. but I don't know how much that'll be. I dunno it's really up in the air at this point.
I just realized I'll be 5 months along when easter rolls around! AHH!!! That's crazy! And last night we realized that not only will we be due around our 2yr anniversary, but also around My MIL's birthday (July 15th) I hope to God that he doesn't let my baby come that day. Kevin is already thinking it'll be July 14th. I say the Fourth of July. I'm so excited I'm going to be having a Summer/July baby! My sister's and I all had fall & winter birthdays & so does Kevin.. So I'm totally psyched that I'll get to plan birthday bashes with water fights & fireworks, camping trips, bon-fires & roasting marshmallows!
I don't know if I've previously posted about our names or not, but we've already had them picked out for awhile. If it's a Boy: William Douglas (after his grandpa's!) or if it's a Girl: Rachel Madeline. I already have a feeling it's gonna be a girl, why I don't know. It just seems like it. I'm still kind of in shock that I actually am pregnant. I just can't believe it. I have gone back to the trash can and looked at the pregnancy test at least several times. Each time it sinks in a little deeper.
Our first appointment will be at 8 weeks on December 8th. :) <3
