We had our first OB appt on Thursday morning and we got to see our little baby! It's still just a little sac so she say's I'm measuring less than 5 weeks. I go in again in 2 weeks to get a better idea of the due date and hopefully hear the heartbeat! I'm technically measuring a little over 6 weeks though, so I'm hoping the baby catches up! As soon as I saw the ultrasound images I just felt so much better. It made me so much more positive that this is going to take and go full term. I know we're still super early, but I just have a good feeling. And I've always just known I would have a boy first, ever since I was little, and as soon as I saw the little dot on the screen I can't help but feel like it's a girl. I can't wait to find out and start picking stuff out to prepare for him or her. I'll give my EDD was soon as I know a more official one. : )

I'm about 5 weeks 3 days today and nothing's happening yet! I'm waiting for the symptoms that'll really make me feel like this is happening. So far I'm peeing a lot more, I'm having trouble sleeping in the morning and I get really warm at night, I'm pretty tired in the afternoons, and I'm getting some weird almost pimple like bumps around my nipples. I've never heard of that but when I showed my husband he said he'd read about that happening. I've only had nausea a few times for just a minute, but I feel starving much faster and can't eat as much at once. A friend of mine did an u/s today but she said it was still too early to see the baby. She said my uterus looked nice and big though, definitely like something was happening in there. I feel like the only for sure thing I have to tell is taking a test every few days. It's just makes me feel better to see those little lines time after time, so I know I'm not just making it up. : ) My first Dr's appt is this Thursday morning, and then my friend said she's do another u/s next Monday. She said sometimes just a week can make a huge difference, especially if the baby's a few ays to a week smaller then my actual pregnancy weeks. So I'll probably measure a week or so smaller than I really am. But that's okay. As long as my little guy or girl is in there growing like they're supposed to. I'll keep posted after my appt Thursday morning.

So today was my 14 DPO and I still hadn't started my period by the time work was done so I came home and tested, and voila, I'm PREGNANT!!!!! I still can't believe it and I am in a state of shock. I'm just so used to seeing the little negative sign it really took me by surprise. I took a regular test from Target and the negative line instantly popped up, along with the control line, so I thought, great, I knew it, it didn't work this time. I'm kind of obsessive about looking at the test multiple times after to make sure I didn't miss a hidden line anywhere and laid it flat on the top of the garbage. I went back in about 10 minutes later and looked at it and was super surprised to see the faintest line making it a plus sign. It was so faint I thought I was either imaging it or someone was playing a mean trick on me. So I called my husband and told him and he said we'd go out and buy a digital test when he got home from work. So we buy the test and I had to pee really bad anyways, so I just took it as soon as I got home. I was afraid I hadn't been holding long enough for it to be concentrated enough to read, but sure enough, 3 minutes later the little Yes + popped up. I was freaking out because there's no way the misread that!! So this is it. And I knew I'd be looking back (just not this soon) and thinking how dramatic I'd been. According to my last period and clomid cycle, I'm about 4 weeks, due June, but I'm calling the Dr Monday to schedule an appt and get their official date and get this show on the road. I'm so excited for this baby to start growing!!! But I hope it stays in there as long as it feels necessary also. Ok, I'm falling asleep, but I'll be keeping updated.
