Why am I not hungry?

Written 8/24/2011

I noticed a few weeks ago a drastic change in my appetite. Typically I can hold my own at the dinner table but all of a sudden things were left on my plate. Then came this strange belly ache and nausea. My boob(right) is in pain and what do you know I cant go to the bathroom. On my 15 mile run I feel sort of dizzy and then on a 10 miler have indigestion. I have this weird stuffiness in my head but no cold. I haven't slept in about 3 weeks through the night. Coffee tastes funny, so does coconut creamer which is my favorite thing on earth.

I chalk appetite and potty problems to some meds I was taking for my hair falling out. I blamed the indigestion on my run on some late night Oreo snacking(only had half a cookie.) And the rest well just figured I'm always noticing something.

I had called my doctor a few weeks ago to let them know about some meds I was taking. We started chatting and she actually was concerned I may not be ovulating, so in a couple more weeks take a prego test if I don't get the blessed of events or if I do, go to the dollar store and get the ovu sticks and pee everyday.

No we come to August 22. I'm getting ready to head out the door and notice its been a long time since my last period, if you can even call it that. So I do the diddle, then forget and leave it on the floor of the bathroom and go to lunch. I come home a few hours later and rush in, because low and behold I finally have to go to the bathroom!! I look down at my feet, holy shit 2 lines!!!!!

I call Todd- I need to tell you something
Todd- What
Me- The test came back positive
Todd- What
Me- The pregnancy test, I peed on  it a while ago, I forgot about it, its positive, oh my god, I'm going to pee on another one
Todd- Congrats
Me- Congrats? What? I didn't get a job, we are having a baby
Todd- I know, I'm at work
Me- oh yeah, DON'T TELL ANYONE!!!
Todd- OK I need to finish up this tax return. Very excited. Talk later
Me- OK I'm going to take another test.

So I pee on another stick. There's a truism that if you leave one of those tests for a while it can give a false positive. By myself at home the scenario went something like this, stare at self in mirror, drink water, more staring, why cant i pee? Ok have to go. Now have to wait 3 minutes. But not even 5 seconds later, BAM 2nd line. Take pic, text to Todd. Sit for a bit and freak. Its 1:50. Dr office isn't open until 2pm. I don't want to tell anybody but need to talk to somebody. But who? AHHH, so I call my friend Jess. Wise, calm, and can keep a secret. She is so pumped but we chat about the initial stuff. Who to tell? When to tell? Downs Syndrome? What to eat?

So here it starts. Somewhere between 4 and 7 weeks. Sonogram to come. Posts to come. Here is the diary.

Cost: $24 for a  pack of prego tests
Food: Oh god who knows. But Todd and I did share a yellow cake with Fudge Icing from Publix.
Exercise: 3 mile morning run
