Lazy Weekend

I've pretty much done nothing this weekend, and to be honest, it's been kind of nice.  While Hubby has been out there coaching our tournament team in their first tournament of the season, I've stayed home and vegged.

I should have worked on my softball posters, and I have.  A little.  But I am nowhere near as far along as I had hoped to be.  Looks like I will have some late nights ahead of me this week.  I'm hoping I can whip them out quicker than I have in the best.  Wishful thinking, I'm sure.  We will see....

I have managed to do the dishes and a couple loads of laundry.  I did make dinner last night.  I showered. haha!  I've also watched a lot of college softball and a few Gerard Butler movies: The Ugly Truth, which I think is freaking hilarious, and Bounty Hunter, which is just okay.  I've played a lot of Candy Crush and Words with Friends.  I tried to catch up on my blog reading.  I'm still a week behind!  Ugh!  Throw in a few Lifetime Movies and there you have it.  That's been my weekend.  Oh.  And I took a nap!

Hubby came home yesterday after coaching four games and told me he was sorry I was stuck at home all day.  He asked if I was bored.  My response?  "NOT AT ALL!"  I thoroughly enjoyed being able to stay in my pj's all day and not have to do anything.  Today is a repeat.

I'm hoping that all this down time has allowed our two little embabies to burrow in.  I was a bit crampy yesterday.  Implantation?  I can only hope so. 

The last (and only) time I was pregnant, I had insomnia so bad.  I've always had to get up at least once in the middle of the night to pee.  That's pretty typical.  But I was having to get up 3-4 times a night during the short time I was pregnant, and I had an extremely difficult time going back to sleep.  I just couldn't seem to shut my brain off.  I was simultaneously excited and fearful and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Last night I got up to pee, and I couldn't go back to sleep.  Hhmmmm.  Is that a sign?  Or a symptom?  I'd like to think so, but who knows.  I've also been SO HUNGRY the last two days!  Maybe that is a good sign, but maybe it's just because I've been stuck at home and eating gives me something to do.  Ha!

Today I have been pregnant for 3 days.  I'm choosing to say I'm pregnant.  Yesterday would have been the 3 week mark in the 40 week countdown. 8 more days until that is confirmed.

Remember those 16 pounds I had gained after my miscarriage?  Well, by the day of transfer, I was back down 11 of those 16.  I am happy with that.  I feel pretty good about the fact that I was able to drop most of the weight while taking Lupron and Estrace, and then PIO the last week.

8 more days.

  10. We have a saying on one of the boards I was on for those going through IVF. You are PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise) and it definitely fits here.

    I'm tying myself in knots for you!
