BFP!!!!!!

Sooooo....I took a test this morning. I must have stood and watched it as it turned into a big fat positive. Jeff was sleeping or I might have screamed for joy. I was a little dumbfounded so I decided to take another test. Again it was positive. I went to kiss Jeff goodbye before I left for my job. He woke up. I said, "Come here and give your baby a kiss." (and like I suspected, he kissed me on the lips). I looked at him and said, "You don't follow directions very well. I said for you to give your baby a kiss, maybe I should have said give your Hadley (the name we have called baby Boak forever) a kiss." He sat straight up and was like no way. He was like take a test. I told him that I already had. He was still in disbelief and I was like go look. He was like no. This went on for about 3 minutes before he finally got up and went and looked.  He came back to the bedroom and held out his arms. I went to him and he picked me up and hugged me. I think we both were fighting tears. It was really personal and sweet and I don't think that moment will ever leave my mind or heart. I called and made an appointment. I have blood work next Monday and in 2 weeks the Doctors appointment. It was actually scheduled well because he is off on the Thursday. I am overjoyed, nervous, excited, happy, scared...I didn't know this many emotions could exist in my heart. We are planning how we are going to tell my mom and dad. This has been a dream for them ever since I was like 21. They never thought I would have a baby so they are going to be in for a big, big surprise.

Sunday Funday

I enjoy lazy Sundays. However, I enjoy working in the house with my hubby to get it ready to sell as well. I am still staying positive as no signs of AF are around. I have been looking at houses today, in addition to the ones that we have already picked to look at on our ...what now like third or fourth house hunting trip. We are soooooo ready to find something that is just exactly right for us and our "little" family. Hopefully, we have lots of good news very soon.

Negative

So I know curiosity killed the cat....but I couldn't help myself this morning. I thought that since my last visit from AF was a little off, then it was possible to see a "positive" result. But, no such luck or joy. My husband says still too early, so we will wait a couple more days. I woke this morning with some awful cramps, like it was time for me to start but the funny thing is I have never been a person to really experience cramps. So it was very odd. I read on 2ww websites that that occurs sometimes. So I still have my fingers crossed that we will still have a BFP this month. 

Fears

I have a serious fear of the upcoming days as I wait on something that may or may not come. I feel  a little sick even as I sit here and wait. My husband is picking up a pizza, and I am looking forward to veggin' on the coach with him and maybe watch a movie or play cards or something. He hasn't been feeling all that great lately, so I may have caught what he had but I guess I am still hopeful that it is "something" else. I have to admit that last night, while looking online for a yellow/golden cardigan, I bounded upon a section of maternity clearance. I began imagining if I was pregnant, what types of clothes I would need. (It would be September so summer-y type things would be what I would need). I found myself daydreaming about baby Boak. I even had a very vivid dream that I found out that I was pregnant with a girl. I am crossing my fingers that it is true.

LET IT SNOW

Was only expecting flurries and got quite a bit. I have felt super tired today for some reason, spent most of my day on the couch watching movies, searching pinterest and etsy. I did manage to fix a caramelized onion bisque, which was surprising good (Hungry girl recipe).

My DIY Chalkboard

After a inspiring look on pinterest, I got inspired to try my hand at making a chalkboard. It turned out great and I am already planning on creating another (hopefully bigger). Thanks to pinterest, I got the idea to use it in the baby's room whenever we get pregnant. I plan on using it to document my weekly "baby bump". I have to get some colored chalk, as  right now I only have the white but still, I LOVE it!
