So excited...and worried at the same time...

I typically have a weird cycle shift 2x a year - once when we push the clocks ahead and once when we push the clocks back. I already had my weird cycle shift for 2012 and that happened in February. I was about 5 days late, but had all the symptoms of AF coming. 

Well, I am 4 days late with this cycle. I was due for AF on Friday and she never showed up.  I have had no symptoms of AF at all (spotting, cramping, tender(ish) boobs). Even when my bf and I have been intimate, there's no sign of AF at all (even when she is a few days away, I spot a little bit during sex). I'm bloated, have been having weird 'tingles' in my lower abdomen, boobs are super sore, heavy, (feels like extremely heavy water balloons) and hot, and I have had the urge to curl up in a ball and fall asleep a lot through out the day.

 Typically I've had bad luck with pee sticks...especially when I was pregnant with my son 11 years ago. I took a TON of them and it took me going to get a blood test to find out that I was pregnant (and almost 3 months along!). So, I had called my OB today to schedule an appt for blood work.  The nurse said "It sounds like you may be pregnant but let's schedule the appt to be sure."  Of course my inpatience is getting to me....

 So, I bit the bullet and went to the CVS to buy a FRER.  I know I should wait until tomorrow when I can use my FMU but I couldn't wait.  I sat and waited, impatiently as it was processing...first line...and an oh so faint but certainly is there 2nd line.  OMG I'm pregnant.  I go next Wednesday to have my blood work for confirmation, etc.   It's been 11 years (well...3 since my MC) since I was pregnant and this super happy.  So much has changed so I'm excited and worried all at the same time.  My BF is happy for us...but I can see the worry on his face.  We've been together for almost 2 years.  This is coming as a complete surprise and I'm sure we'll manage. 

Time for me to start doing some research...and figure out cute ways to tell my family...in 7 1/2 weeks....
