Test Two Positive

And I have an appointment with "my" radiologist (I've been there 3 times - I feel I can say that now) for next Monday at 10:30 to see, well, basically to see if/that there's a heartbeat. I know that doesn't guarantee a thing, but, it's something for right now.

And when I was on the phone with my OB/GYN's office, and the receptionist asked me the usual question - "What was the date of the first day of your last menstrual period" - ah. Well. I'm not really sure, since there was no bleeding when I should have had it in August. So...??? July?

So she used July. And by that calculation, she put my possible due date at May 11th. "I think that's Mother's Day," she said happily, "Wouldn't that be nice?"

But then later on in the day I was thinking - if I'm not that far along...then I'd be due about a month later, right? So wouldn't that be early June? Just like my first child....hmmm.

Well, I should know something - no, strike that, I will know something more on Monday.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

And next I told...

My sister-in-law, Diane. She has sworn not to tell anyone until I let her know it's okay. Of course, at the rate I'm going, that could be tomorrow.

I've been ravenous lately - and stupidly wondering why...

I was suddenly TIRED today - and stupidly wondered why...

I've been almost constantly happy today - and stupidly wondered why...

I still "feel" pregnant. No morning sickness (yet) but I also don't remember how soon that kicked in with my first child...I remember hearing all sorts of theories about if you're VERY nauseous, it's a girl, because of the extra female hormones surging through your system, and if you're not sick it's a boy. Well, I was mildly queasy with my son...guess that qualifies as "not" in someone's book...also heard that symptoms are worse with the second one, or easier...so who knows. I've noticed a lot of hair coming out in the shower and on the hairbrush - but that could be because my hair's getting too long and I'm just noticing it more...or it's falling out because pregnancy is a weird, weird state to be in sometimes.
