I feel even more anxious now then I did before getting a BFP! I called the local OBGYN office today and they scheduled my first appointments. They said they'll have a nurse call me on Sept 21st to go over my history and then a confirmation appointment on Oct 6th. I should be 7w+6 then. It seems so far away!

Overall, I feel decent. I'm 4w+2 today and my bbs are sore, a little crampy and tired, but having some insomnia the last few nights and have been running hot. Thank goodness the majority of the pregnancy will be in the winter...if I stay this hot my hubby is going to find me laying in the snowbanks to cool off.

Originally, I didn't think I'd bother to call my primary care doctor who offered to do a confirmation and congratulations appointment, but since even talking to the other office is so far out, I might give them a call so I have someone to talk to and field the irrational questions sooner rather than later!

I'm still wrapping my brain around it all! Hoping to do something kind of fun/creative for telling my parents as this will be their first grandchild and they have both been hinting hard for a few years and aren't aware we were actively trying. I've got some white onsies ordered and going to make custom iron on transfers for them to their interests-- for my mom one with a cow that say "farm help" arriving and for my dad one with a fish that says "fishing buddy" arriving. Not sure when I'll send them....we are 500 miles apart so if I can contain myself I can probably wait until after my Oct 6 apt and include ultrasound photos with it. But...I also want to shout it from the rooftops right now as well! So...I'm blabbing here instead! Thanks ladies.

Congratulations @SheilAnneSmith!
So this is my third pregnancy and this is the first time that I am already thinking about losing the weight afterward. Like, I have a 10K I want to do 3 months after my due date, I'm still reading weight loss success stories here and on Pinterest... compared to previous pregnancies where I happily gorged on whatever I wanted and told myself that I'd worry about the weight later. So weird.

@SheilAnneSmith That is a really cute idea with the onesies in the mail. Farm help! Haha. Also, the snowbank comment. Looool. Also, I agree with calling your primary doc. Since they are closer, it might be easier and cheaper to see them for minor things while pregnant, right? Plus it's just fun sharing good news.

@marianlyn Wow. I can't imagine running a 10K right now, let alone right after delivering. If you do it, please post a pic!

@WifiresGettingFit I don't know how long I can contain myself...I think I'll do the onsie project this weekend...they might get sent out early next week and pray all continues to go well. I fear mailing it and then miscarrying the day it arrives to them or something crazy like that. Having a hard time being super positive instead of fearing the worst and the days are crawling by so slow! I kind of felt like crap yesterday afternoon but feel significantly better today, which should be a good thing but instead I am worried it's because something isn't right. My brain needs an off switch and I need to ban myself from google--for my sanity and my work productivity!

@Kristie155 I don't think we'll use skype, I don't think either of us have even ever used it. We both live in pretty rural areas and mainly text as phone calls get dropped most of the time as well. We both still have landlines though! lol

I see the primary care doctor on Monday. It may be more a counseling that medical appointment, but it'll be so nice to talk to someone! Hopefully she can ease some fears and provide some positive feedback on the OBGYN office, or help me explore other area options I may have overlooked.

I have been craving spicy foods, I made a giant pot of Jambalaya last night...I hope I continue to want spicy foods for at least the next 5 days, because it'll take me that long to eat the leftovers. Yummy! My usual sweet tooth is pretty quiet. I hope that stays true, it'll make it a lot easier not to gain 50 pounds!

I didn't tell that story! It wasn't anything real planned out and pretty silly/awkward...lol...

He goes to bed way later than me, so we have a routine of him coming to bed with me to talk and cuddle until I fall asleep. So, as we were cuddling and talking about the next day he eventually groped my chest, so I asked him, "Does it feel any bigger? Because it will be before long," he caught on right quick, but that was after he missed a comment about how I wasn't going to drink any free beer at the rodeo the next night earlier in the conversation. I left him the positive digital test the next morning with a shirt that says "Worlds Greatest Farter..I mean Father" on it that I bought a few months ago.

You're crackin' me up!

@SheilAnneSmith HUGS! I'm sending positive vibes your way! (and definitely nix google) I liked how you told your husband, such a cute story!

This may be the first day the hormones bite my husband's head-off......

I'm waiting for him to get into town to help him shuttle rigs from the repair shop and am taking a long lunch break to help him out, it's 20-25 minutes to the repair shop, so I have no time but to eat in the car. I've told him several times this morning I didn't eat much for breakfast, didn't have any good snacks and am absolutely starving....i.e. come get me at 11am not noon or later so I can grab lunch....it's 11:25....he hasn't left the house and is no less that 20 minutes away. I'm not sure if I want to scream or cry or chew off my hand because I'm so hungry. Grrrrr!!

It's totally legit to blame hormones right?! lol

Yesterday was even worse, everything made me cry....happy, sad, mad....all of it. Gah, today is much better.

We decided to tell my parents on Monday. I'll be just over 6 weeks and it's our 6th anniversary. I'm ready for some moral support as we wait for the appointment on Oct 6.

Here are the onesies I made. Included with them a note that said, "Here is a little something so you can help us celebrate our 6th anniversary" and explained they have to wait to open them together! They are individually wrapped and labeled. I mailed them today and they'll arrive on Monday.

Sheila, I just love it...what a special way to tell them! It's so sweet to do a reveal even though they are so far away!
