Baby Steps

I took that photo this morning. I plan on using it my FB account once we go public. That's not for another 7 weeks though, but the plan is in place. ;)

I have been feeling pretty good. I am s.t.a.r.v.i.n.g. all the stinking time, but otherwise good. TJ told me the hunger is all in my head, and I tried to stop eating like a pig but it didn't help. It is not in my head, I am not crazy, I swear. I think the issue is the food I'm eating isn't very filling, I've been trying eat healthy snacks (fruit cups, etc.) and then I'm hungry again. So, I'm going to buy some cheese, and mini bagels, and see if that helps.

Because of the lack of bad I was starting to worry (ugh, yes, I'm one of them!!). I bought another box of HPT's (the one I took last weekend was the last one in our house). When I brought it home TJ looked at me like I was nuts, and then asked if I'd been secretly peeing on one each day. I haven't quite gotten there. . .yet. But, the lack of spotting had me thinking just mayyyyyybe I had my O date off and the positive was a false positive. (Yes, I know, that's not very likely).

So, POAS again this morning and, well, obviously we have the top picture. I told him my goal is to make it until February 12th without spotting, that will be the same point my m/c happened in my first pregnancy. He told me, very sensibly, that I shouldn't worry because I can't control it. Relax. Yeah, right.

I'm doing pretty good taking it a day at a time. I am encouraged more and more each day that passes without spotting. My first appointment is scheduled for February 26th. I will be nearly 8 weeks at that point and crossing everything that they might do an u/s to ease my mind. We shall see, like I said, one day at a time. Baby steps!
