Omg that's funny! Yes at times I feel like omg what if there's no heartbeat or what if there's something wrong? Or what if there are multiples?! I am just counting down the days until my appointment though and trying to stay positive! I would be so devastated if they say "sorry ma'am but you're not pregnant". I just know of that happening and I haven't had a blood test or anything but I'm definitely pregnant according to multiple brands of HPTs and I've had many symptoms. And the bloating, ughh. My husband is so excited though and is telling ANYONE who will listen that we are expecting, so I am praying extra hard that nothing goes wrong because now all those people are excited for us (he doesn't understand the whole wait until the first trimester is over so oh well!)
What about you???
Absolute basket case. I couldn't get an OB appointment before the 6th, so I went to my general physician to get the confirmation from a doctor that I was indeed knocked up. I've still taken 10 HPTs (I run out tomorrow, and we're out of town after that, so time to stop peeing on things I suppose), and yesterday I had an utter meltdown because I took one of those ClearBlue weeks predictor tests, and it told me I was 2-3 weeks, even though I'm 5+3, so it should have read 3+. Of course, I didn't use my first go of the day, and I'd had like, four glasses of water beforehand. Naturally, they're extremely sensitive to urine dilution. Sure enough, when I took another this morning with my first go, it popped up 3+ right away.
We're terrible at keeping secrets, plus I feel like my in-laws pressured us a little bit on telling my husband's side of the family, though ultimately I'm glad we told them. We're telling my family on Sunday, when we do our family Christmas in Colorado. After a sit down chat about it, we pretty much decided that we would tell anyone that would know about a miscarriage anyway, which means our families and close friends, and then our bosses. And we don't lie - one of my friends at work figured it out because she knew we were trying, and then I declined an alcoholic beverage at happy hour. If someone asks, we tell, but we don't run around spreading the news just yet.
I've always believed in God, but I was more of "say an Our Father" and then hit the sack kind of pray-er until this pregnancy. I've had some pretty involved chats since. I actually was finally so stressed out about everything yesterday that I was about to make myself come completely unhinged, so before bed, I said probably the most earnest prayer I have ever said in my life to be comforted, and then I had some quite wonderful dreams about my pregnancy, and could not feel any better today. I'm so much less anxious. I don't know how long it will last, but hopefully until I'm out of the first trimester!
This board has been a complete blessing, though, because it's allowed me to talk my little heart out about the little bean, so it's saved my husband's ears!
Also, I think if you've had positives on lots of different tests, you've definitely got a bun. It's hard to believe, though, isn't it?

I don't have very many symptoms just really extreme tiredness (especially with running after a toddler), a huge bloat belly, and somewhat sore boobs. But mostly it's just the tiredness.
