meh.

Well, I got a bit antsy and took a pregnancy test early again. It came up negative-no surprise there...

So tired...

7 dpo and I'm completely exhausted. My tatas start hurting sporadically throughout the day. And I'm eating everything in sight...If I'm not pregnant, there is something wrong, lol!

The boys have been going extra baby gaga lately. They are both lovin' on every baby they come across! It's so cute to watch Ickie waddle up to a kid not much smaller than him and give a hug and gently rub their head :D

Still trying to stay stress free about ttc...so far, I'm succeeding (for the most part...)

Stress-Free Zone

I know I'm supposed to be taking a stress-free/worry-free approach to this, but that's something that is easier said than done. Especially right now. Yesterday, I got a positive opk, we did our deed, and I was really confident. I did another opk right before bed (not sure why I did use another one, though) and it was already negative.

So now I'm worrying if I was already done ovulating by the time the hubby got home :( This. Sucks.

I obviously won't know either way for another couple of weeks, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to get another negative preg test this month.

Why does this have to be so complicated?

+ OPK!

Just got my positive for this cycle :D I wish my ovulation was a bit more consistent, but hey, that's what OPK's are for, right?

I've noticed something, too. Every time I have a naughty dream about the hubby I get a positive opk the next day. This amuses me ^_^

Round 2

Attention uterus & ovaries: You will cooperate with me, or I will keep up the onslaught of spermies. This is gonna happen one way or another, so keep it easy on yourselves and just cooperate already!


Bleagh. My new mantra is "I will not stress".

Not this time

So, I'm not pregnant. Yet. I started spotting today, and by the time the hubby got home it was full-on. I'm sad and disappointed, but I kept having this nagging feeling that I might not be, so I'm not 100% devastated. I'm heartbroken, but I'm handling it better than I thought I would.

Each time I've gotten pregnant I knew immediately and without doubt. I was pretty sure this time, but I kept thinking that maybe I was just so "sure" just because I wanted it so badly. I guess that's exactly what it was. All my "symptoms" were just PMS. Blargh.

Hubby says this just means we get to try twice as hard this cycle. I know most people aren't successful the first month they try, but I always seem to get my hopes up :( We were originally aiming for a May conception/February baby anyway, but we got too antsy last month, so I guess this is just how it's meant to be. I hope so at least.

And on the bright side, this way we'll have our tax return right after the baby is born, so we'll be able to splurge and get some nice nursery furniture. Bickie's crib is not worth using again, and the boys are still using the other furniture, so we have to start from scratch again anyway. Babies 'R Us, here I come :D

Again...

I took another test today...either it's still to early (it is), or I'm just not pregnant. I'm hoping that I'm just being impatient. AF isn't until Wednesday :( This has been the longest week and a half I've ever had to wait through. Still a half a week left to wait, though I'm sure I'll take at least one more test before then :P

From the beginning...

I'm a 24yo SAHM of 2 absolutely adorable boys. My husband and I are currently working on adding our 3rd and final love-monster to the bunch. I've always said I'm going to have 2 boys and a girl, so lets see if I'm right a third time!

Right now I'm in my 2 week wait, and I am bo-ored...My AF isn't due until around the 12th, and I've already tested at least 4 times!! I get so impatient with things like this and it just drives me crazy :P

It may sound kind of weird, but I've already bought some of my maternity clothes, too. I'm a crazy-awesome sale shopper, and the clothing for the season I'll have a biggo preggo belly in is all on clearance right now-That equals awesome deals i have a hard time passing up. I still have some of my clothes from being pregnant with the boys (read: almost all the maternity clothes from being pregnant with the boys), but sadly that is still only a couple of outfits...and maternity clothes are expensive, so I'd rather start my shopping now anyway!

Monkey, the older brother, has been begging for a new baby. A baby sister more specifically. He actually asked for a sister for his 3rd birthday, but I don't think I can pop out a baby in less than a month, hahaha :D Since he could walk, he'd go straight to any girl he could see, hold her hand, and they'd just start walking off together. Now he's finding girls to try to take home as a sister!

Bickie, the current baby, has gotten all baby obsessed himself. Every baby he sees he tries to love on, and he has taken to carrying around a baby doll when he's in his room.

They are only 16-ish months apart, so this big of an age gap has it feeling almost like I'm starting all over again...I'm hoping everything is still just as easy as it was the last 2 times!

I still have a bare minimum of 3 days before I'll be able to test (and get an accurate result), but it's still 6 days until AF...So this is probably going to be the longest week I've had in ages!
