What a week!

This week has been a madhouse at work. I'm feeling exhausted, and looking forward to the weekend. Cousin Sam is graduating and we're throwing her a party at the house. Making hamburgers and hotdogs. Should be fun!

Took a pregnancy test yesterday.........came back negative. Not sure why I took one, because even if I am, it wouldn't test positive for another 2 weeks. I am just so anxious!!!! I looked up the symptoms of pregnancy, and I have all of them. Swollen boobies, slight cramping, lower back aches and feeling sooooooooo tired. Could be PMS though. HOPEFULLY soon, we'll know for sure. Find out on the 28th, which is my birthday :)

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day. It's hopefully, my last Mother's Day without children. Feeling a little sick today, not sure if it's something I ate or what but, ugh...feeling gross. We are in "ovulation" time, so it's excited to think I might be pregnant right now. I'm really trying not to get my hopes up but, it's hard. I don't want to be sad if I'm not.... I'll find out on my birthday, which is May 28th. Bryan and I have decided that we're not going to expect anything, and continue trying next month if we're not. He's been awesome, with letting me talk about it, and not being annoyed with the countless names I suggest for our future children. We like the names:

Sophia
Katie
Jackson
Kyle
Drew

We'll see which ones will stick. For anyone reading this, please feel free to suggest names!

I am grateful to have such wonderful people in my life, and amazing mothers. Sally, Donna and Sandi are excellent examples of a mother's love. Can't wait to make you all Grandmother's again!

Day 6

What a good day - cleaned the house, nice dinner. Bryan is the grill master. Opened all the windows and let the fresh air from the rain in. Spoke to Kendall, she's my best friend. She ran the Lincoln marathon today in 2 hours and 14 minutes. SOO proud of her. Wish I could run a marathon.... Going to work out in the morning, as part of my new healthy routine. They say ab muscles are good to have when you are carrying a baby, so I'd better get cracking. Because, I'm pretty sure I have some ab muscles, they are just covered by layers of pizza, fast food and other unhealthy stuff! Ha haha.. Seriously though, I am getting back on track with the healthier lifestyle. Tomorrow is a new day! Temp 97.7. 1 hot flash...and felt a weird pain in my abdomen today....I wonder if that means I am ovulating. They say I won't be ovulating for another 4 days...

Goodnight

Day 5

Went to Cinco De Mayo today in South Omaha. It was a great time! Awesome food, good music and beautiful weather. What can beat that??? Bryan worked this morning, but he's home now and we're trying to figure out what to do with our day. Temp is 98.2 now, which is a little higher than it's been but, a little closer to where it needs to be. Hot flashes have gone away, THANK GOD! Feeling good, loving life and grateful for this day.
