me vs. my boobs

i think that my girls are fighting to escape the confines of my bra... for some reason, i was under the impression that for your first pregnancy you don't really notice too many changes in your body until the latter months. i was sadly mistaken.

for those of you that know me, i am very blessed in the breasticle region. everyone always thinks that its so great to have big boobs. let me tell you, it is not. nothing ever fits right, you can't wear the same cute outfits that your friends can, and they are heavy as hell. its really like you're lugging around two ten pound rocks all day... i have no idea how much they actually weigh, but i feel like in a fight between one of my boobs and a 5 lb. bag of sugar, my boob would win.

in the fight between myself and my ever growing breasts, im not sure who the winner will be, but if i were a betting woman, i would put my money down on them. the smaller one is already as big as the bigger one used to be! 6 weeks and they're already swollen and hurting and fighting my support system. how can i win?

popcorn, pickles, & rootbeer

after spending the day crying to my mom after my second blood test yesterday, today is fabulous! i spoke with the doc earlier and my numbers were great! everything is right on track and we go in for our first ultrasound on friday. we should even get to see the little sweet pea's heartbeat... we can't wait!

in other news: i ate fiber one cereal for breakfast because no one tells you that when you get all preggo, you cant poop. you get gassy, bloaty, and no poop. i understand why no one tells this glorious secret of pregnancy, but come on! so i've been eating fiber one and disgusting ugly prunes. prunes look like poop.

for lunch i had a pickle, popcorn, and a rootbeer. it was pretty good, mom laughed when i told her, apparently this lunch doesn't sound so appetizing to everyone? well it definitely did the trick for this girl.

i peed on a stick!

so, after a year of trying and obsessively testing on the exact day i was supposed to start my period with no luck, i had finally given up. i told wade that i wanted to put the whole 'trying' thing on hold.

they say as soon as you stop trying...
i was more than four days late before i took even one test this time! that is amazing, you have no idea what its like for a woman trying to conceive... every month spending no less than $20 on pregnancy tests, taking and charting your temperature every single day, taking crazy fertility meds, and thinking every single symptom of regular old pms is a sign of pregnancy... it literally turns you into a crazy hormonal mess.

SO.... after deciding to put everything on hold for awhile, we finally got a positive! i really didnt even believe it at first, i was on the phone with my mom when i read the results and could barely even tell her what it said. and since then my only thoughts on the subject have been 'that its so crazy.'
