So many are asking, so, I'll just post a new post. (Sorry for being an AW! Well, not really. Not today.
)
First and foremost, I had my first baby dream this month. If I remember correctly, it was right around ovulation time. I had a dream we had a dark haired little girl. I've had dreams about being pregnant before, but never of actually having a baby in my arms. I know this sounds weird, but, it stuck in my head and I just had a good feeling.
As for symptoms, looking back, collectively, I can see a pattern. But, as each was happening, I shoved them off as PMS or "No, this couldn't possibly be an actual symptom". Some days I was and still am a bit dizzy, the day after what I believe to be implantation, I was so sensitive to smells it was crazy. I was walking through the mall food court and could smell EVERYTHING. I've been sensitive to smell ever since. I've had a few headaches and that's not normal for me. Nothing bad, just kind of there. My boobs have been very sore, but, that's typically a PMS symptom for me. I've been very bloated, but again, attributed that to PMS. The fatigue has been crazy. But, my boss had knee surgery last month and I've been tired ever since. So, I didn't really think it could be pregnancy. The strangest thing for me? Not necessarily a pregnancy symptom, but, something not normal for me at all. Night sweats. Ever since guessed implantation day, I have been sweating like crazy at night. I wake up drenched. Normally I'm cold, so, this is the only thing that made me think, "Something is weird here." Then I had a HUGE temp spike this morning, so, I figured I'd better test and see if this all had a reason.
As for telling Brett. He didn't test with me, he's always said to just tell him when it happens. Which was fine with me, after so many negative months, it would have been daunting to do this with him each time. So, all along, we've been saying all we need to do is "catch the egg". Well, I took my 3 tests and when the digital said "Pregnant", I started to cry. Brett was alseep in the bedroom and I ran out there and woke him. He says he saw me crying but didn't realize what was happening. He thought Bailey died or something, since I was crying so hard. So, I then said, "Honey, we caught the egg!" He looked all confused and I said, "I'm pregnant!" He gave me a hug and we both cried. I was shocked that he cried. That kind of made me happy, I wasn't sure what his reaction would be. He didn't sob or anything, but, there were definite tears and that was nice to see.
So yeah, that's my story.
