I need to call and get a dr/appt.......

Hi ladies, I'm going to try to join you over here!
I'm not feeling pregnant enough either lol. The only "real" symptoms I have is no af and sensitive boobs. I kind of want to take some more frers and see how dark they are.
I've been having trouble sleeping too which is so annoying when I have to work. I don't have trouble falling asleep but I wake up super early and can't fall back asleep or I just wake up a lot. And yesterday I had to work 9-4 then go to a class from 6:30-9. Blah I was so tired. I have to do that every tuesday for the next like 8 weeks.

I hear ya. My breast are pretty tender this morning. I put my bikini top on for a belly pic and I was like OUCH when it touched me!

I had trouble waking up early last week too, but I think my brain was going a million miles a minute. I still can't believe we got pg so fast this time!

Hey Whitney, I'm 5 weeks today too! We're pg buddies! That being said, I'm going to the midwife this morning so we'll see if they change my due date. You know how 'they' are. :P

My allergies are awful. I usually take Claritin, but I stopped so it wouldn't interfere with CM. *achoo!*

Whitney, ugh...that's a long day! I had a project going out on Monday and didn't leave work until 9 pm and then last night I stayed up until after midnight just trying to catch up on some cleaning, particularly the kitchen since I worked late Monday night, oh and playing online excited about my BFP. It's amazing how quick the dishes stack up...DH will load/unload the dishwasher but doesn't seem to be able to do anything when he is alone with the boys

Heather, I usually ignore my docs office due date if I know I O'd way off of CD14 since mine usually just use the wheel with my LMP. I'm like not everyone has a 28 day cycle with CD 14 ovulation.

AFM, I work in a small office...there are 3 of us...I am planning to not tell my boss I'm preggers until he figures it out. I'm sure he's already watching supiciously b/c he knows I had the recent m/c and he'll suspect I'll want to be pregnant again ASAP but as far as he knows DH still hasn't agreed to #3 so there is some room for doubt. Anyway, this morning I forgot my breakfast at home and the only thing I had was some dill pickle chips...so I was having chips for breakfast. I'm off to a healthy start for this pregnancy, lol. But he asked me "Dill pickle chips for breakfast? Is that some sort of sign?" I said "Yes, it's a sign that I'm hungry and I don't have anything else to eat" I wonder how long I'll be able to make it before he figures it out.

[babywings1]

LOL at the Dill Pickle chips. Have you read the chat thread under PGAL? There's a lady I work with that constantly berates whatever I'm eating. I kinda want to go in there with like 3 Monster drinks, a cup of coffee, a mountain dew, candy, chips and a bag of marshmallows.

[Clarkton]

Yes, Jessica...LOL She would totally be all over me and tossing out my food.

I hear ya on the ovulation thing. I am VERY data driven (I am a software developer) and it so bugs me when dates are off. Luckily the midwife took my chart to heart and calculated my due date based on my O date...so it's June 11th. Yay!

OMG, I had salt & vinegar chips the other day and they were SO GOOD! Everything tastes better when you're pg. Last time I was pg I would be heard saying "This is the BEST Big Mac I've ever had". "This pumpkin pie is the BEST I've ever had". I pretty much said it about everything. Everything tastes better when you're pg. I so missed that.

I'm not telling my boss for a while. We work from home but our boss is on the other side of the country. LOL. He won't know if I don't tell. I could be 38 weeks and he wouldn't know! That being said, conference is in Vegas again this year and it's early May. I very much doubt I'll be 'allowed' to go.

[tink9702]

I'm not telling my work if I can help it either! especially since I'll be resigning at the end of the pregnancy!

[whitney1]

Heather, it's weird cuz even though you're due date is 2 days earlier than mine our tickers are only 1 day apart. I thought it was putting me at one day more pregnant than I am but I double checked and I typed in the right due date so I dunno. But either way our due dates are super close to each other

I'm very worried about work finding out since I just started a new job and I feel like a dork for finding out I'm pregnant the same freaking week. I think they will be cool and I will have accrued at least 3 weeks in personal leave by then. so I believe it will all work out but I just don't want them to view me as not taking the job seriously because I do and I am planning on staying there long term.
