Ah things have been so crazy this past week! I will write a longer update later but I just wanted to say hey and thanks for all the congrats!!!!

I leave for WA this Saturday! I’m sooooo excited!!! Then the wedding is on July 29th hehe yay! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Everything is all ready to go and now I’m just sitting back, relaxing, and waiting! My mom and Aunt have been working on some things for me so some of it will be a surprise to me. I can’t wait to see my family again!

…the test line is darker than the control line. The test line is on the LEFT. Haha This was my last pregnancy test so I just had to take it. No more though. What am I going to do all day now that I don’t have any sticks to pee on?!

Today I’m 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant yay! I still can’t get over it! I’m so excited! Now, I know I’m only 4 weeks but I seriously think my lower ab is pushing out more than normal and let me tell you why. I got this tattoo of 5 stars on my hip bone because my hip bones usually stick out and so the stars curve around the bone and look kind of like shooting stars. Great. But as of lately I’m noticing my hip bones aren’t sticking out and instead the stars are actually pushing slightly outward instead of caving in around the bone. Also, you know how normally you sort of hold your stomach up (maybe you don’t lol but I usually do… not sucking it in but you know, not all relaxed and sticking out, right? Well I seriously cannot hold it up anymore. It just won’t go in! And if I try to then suck it in, it makes me feel sick. No, I’m not getting fat because I haven’t been eating any differently than normal. I know you’re not supposed to “show” at 4 weeks but maybe it’s because I have such a flat lower ab usually that it’s sticking out? Or… Preston just decided to tell me the other day that twins run in his family and so I was joking about it with my Mom and she was like “Sarah… they run in ours too but we just haven’t had any for a long time”. So great. Maybe I’m having twins? I did get a positive pregnancy test one week before my period should of started. That’s pretty early right? I really don’t think I am though. I would be very surprised if that were the case. Maybe I’m just making this shit up or maybe I’m bloated. Who knows lol

Okay I seriously want to make a new layout but my Mac is at the office and I haven’t been going to the office lately because I haven’t needed to, Preston goes every day though and I miss him (just thought I’d throw that in there) so I haven’t been able to do a new layout. I have my laptop but I have this thing where I just can’t do anything web design related without my Mac. So I might bring it home. But then I would want to bring my whole desk home and that’s not happening. Everything I do is so simple anyway I might as well just do it on my laptop. But I miss my Mac. But this layout is bugging me, so I guess we’ll see!

I can’t take it any more! I’m officially 3 weeks and 5 days…

YESSSSSSSSSSS! I have been trying to get pregnant since May It was so crazy to me to actually try to get pregnant after 7 years of birth control and trying not to get pregnant. I am actually extremely blessed because I got pregnant my 2nd cycle of birth control pills. It takes on average about 4-5 cycles after birth control pills to conceive, and in the not so average world it actually takes a lot longer for most. Since we started trying, I joined a message board called Two Week Wait, and it’s so sad to see all the women on there who have been trying for years to get pregnant and here’s little ol me, I think about getting pregnant and BAM! It happens! But, once I have my mind set on doing something, I do it, and I do it excessively. Not only did I excessively have sex (too much info, sorry!) but I read into extreme detail just exactly how you actually conceive. It’s so amazing. And it turns out, (this was news to me, maybe you know this lol) you can take your temperature at the same time every morning before even getting out of bed, chart it each day, and figure out exactly when you ovulate, and if you conceive you can usually see a drop (or spike - spike in my case!) in temperature when implantation occurs in your uterus, and then your temp goes back up and remains elevated throughout your pregnancy. Needless to say, I have become addicted to two things in the past two months: “charting”, and peeing on a stick. Yes. I am a pregnancy test taking addict. As soon as I got my positive the first time, I couldn’t believe my eyes! So of course, I did what any excessive mommy wanna-be would do and I took 3 tests. And I continue to take multiple tests every day “just to make sure”. It’s not surprising that early pregnancy symptoms just happen to be very similar to PMS symptoms, and I’m sure feeling those. I’ve had cramps and a horrible back ache for days, which oddly enough, makes me really, really happy!
