It's kicking in

So, for all the worrying I did about betas yesterday (and today really), I have been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms. I have that constant queasiness, and my hips are KILLING me--especially when I went out to dinner and shopping with friends tonight.

No one ever told me how bad your hips will hurt--even at this stage in the game. I know it can't be weight because I've lost 13 lbs recently. I broke down and bought a pregnancy pillow. I know I'm only 4 weeks in and it is a little ridiculous, but my hips can't take it. Heck, I can't take the insomnia much longer.

I did end up telling my bff last night, and I told our other bff today (because she guessed and I didn't want to lie). It's really weird. Sometimes I feel really bloated and pregnant, but other times I'll get wrapped up with work and totally forget about it. I love it when I come to the realization--"Hey, I'm pregnant. Yeah!"

Another strange thing about pregnancy--bowel movements. How is it that you can be totally constipated for hours, then have an episode of diarrhea, then go right back to being constipated--I don't get it.

I'm so excited and full of plans for this child. I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, but I really want to think it's going to happen for us this time. I know my hubby will be such a good daddy, and I can't wait to make him one. It makes me tear up just to think about it.

In the meantime, I will keep POAS to make sure it's getting darker and darker--and so far, so good.:)
