Week 4

Today I am officially 4 weeks into this creating life thing we're doing. We got a + on my birthday. I went to the bathroom around 0830 that morning and used the stick. The line showed up before the control line even did. I ran into the bedroom and woke my Wife and told her to go look in the bathroom. She screamed like I've never heard her before. We are both still in shock. It doesn't seem real yet, even with a few symptoms. 

I've had reflux, a few pimples-boob/back/face/neck (unusual for me), and I am extremely tired. About 3 pm every day I have shut down mentally and physically. That's tough since I don't get off work until 5:30 pm. I keep reminding myself they say to sleep now, while I can. I've had a few bouts with nausea. It comes/goes quickly, but it's noticeable. I'm also urinating frequently. I don't think it's more than normal because my bladder seems to be on the small side. 

I've had some days of irritability. Hopefully that passes as the hormones get settled into growing our bean. 

It's bizarre to call ourselves 4 weeks because all the baby calendars use your LMP (last menstrual period) even if you know your conceive date. 

Looks like the psychic might have been right after all, our due date is July 30. 

I am going to enjoy every single moment of this. Tiredness, nausea, growing belly, and anything else that comes along. 

Closing thoughts...

TWINS? 

We have our 6 week ultrasound Dec 6. We meet to interview an OB the following day. We have one other in mind, and we'll choose between the two. One is a male, one is a female. We've got what is important to us in our heads...hopefully one will be on board with it during labor.
