Well, so far, so good. I am feeling pretty calm about this. Not too excited, and not too horribly terrified either. I have been trying to keep myself pretty busy and distracted, just so I'm not constantly evaluating whether or not I have cramps or running to the bathroom every 5 minutes to make sure I'm not bleeding. It's a really weird feeling that this has never ended well for me, but since we still have not found anything wrong, there's no reason to give up hope. I'm not even trying to keep it a secret this time. Pretty much everyone I've come in contact with over the last 36 hours knows my big news. I don't know that I'll be blabbing about it much at work right away but really, this blog isn't private so the cat is pretty much out of the bag for anyone who happens across it.
A couple of random observations...this is at least the second time that I've been kind of sick when I found out. I've been battling a sore throat and a cold all week and I definitely remember one previous pregnancy where I was sick and took some Nyquil before I knew. This time I have just taken ibuprofen, and a couple of days I took an allergy pill that had pseudoephedrine, which is a category "C". So I switched to one that only had the antihistamine in it and I haven't noticed the difference really. Loratadine is a category B which means it hasn't caused any problems in pregnant animals, but they don't have any human studies to back it up.
Also, I have been cleaning like crazy, which I think has happened all 4 times now. Normally I am pretty oblivious to my messy house. But lately I have been compulsively cleaning out closets and throwing stuff away and organizing papers and CDs/DVDs, vacuuming constantly, etc. And I wipe things down, which is weird (for me). I guess I just notice dirty stuff more these days.
Also this is pretty funny, but both Natalie and Eric said in hindsight that I was acting really weird this week and they thought I might be pregnant but didn't want to say anything. Eric said he "couldn't get a read on me" - whereas usually he said he can tell when I am about to get my period. And Natalie said I was being weird too - not bitchy, just weird.
This is all so amazing to me considering that I am only about 4 weeks. I suppose some of it could be all in my head, but I don't care.
