QOTW: How did you find out you were pregnant (other than just peeing on a stick)? We actually were NTNP the month we got pregnant- I wasn't tracking ovulation or really paying any attention to my cycle. We went hiking one Saturday and it kicked my butt- it was a difficult trail but I kept getting super winded and nauseous which was weird b/c we had been hiking almost every weekend at that time. I got home and didn't think anything about it until I went to take a bath and then i noticed my boobs seemed bigger. I got on my chart and realized I was several days late...so i got a test the next day and sure enough it was a BFP.

renegadewhit, yay for 2nd trimester, and for maternity pants...i was so excited to be able to wear those again- they're so much more comfortable than regular pants, lol!

Enjoy your vacation, tbonequeen13 ! I can try to take over the next two weeks. FX I remember LOL

renegadewhit - Telling people is so exciting Glad you had a nice visit home, too.


How far along are you? 17w tomorrow!

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? We lined up a freezer for our basement so I have somewhere to store breast milk. There's no way our small freezer upstairs has room for food plus storage. And it was free from my ILs!

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Maternity dresses for sure. I swapped out my regular wardrobe for my maternity wardrobe over the weekend. No regrets.

Any updates/news from last week? I had a good appointment on Tuesday. Heard a heartbeat

QOTW: We had two CPs since we started trying. Then, we went on kind of a dry spell where we just weren't doing it very often. All the sudden I realized I was 3 days late and *bam* BFP! I was shocked. I mean, I think we had sex, like, 3 times the whole month.

QOTW: How did you find out you were pregnant (other than just peeing on a stick)?
Our adoption profile was live and we were being considered by a few families so the last thing on my mind was being pregnant. I was about 4 days late to I decided to test and it turned positive right away! And I turned 2-3weeks on a dig so I knew something was different about this time!
