I got a super, super faint positive this morning. A serious squinter. By my guess, I'm 10DPO. I've gotten positives with other pregnancies at 9-11DPO, so I guess it's just fine being faint at this point. I'm not jumping for joy or getting too excited yet. Ill see how things progress. But it does look like we conceived. Sadly, I am also losing a very close friend this week to a devastating disease, so I'm not in a good place emotionally. But, on a positive note, if this baby does end up being a boy, we are planning to name the baby after this man, who is like family to us. So, in lots of ways, ill be very happy if we have a boy. Funny how life gives you little "gifts" in negative experiences. I told him when I visited him last night and I think it meant a lot to him. So, ill stalk around, but will probably be off to a DDC soon. Good luck to all the ladies in here. I hope you get your hearts wish!

Geez hotdogz! Congrats! Did you have an oops?? So sorry to hear about your dear friend. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

hotdogz, Sending you love and strength. What a tough thing to be going through. Oooo, so it sounds like congrats are in order :)

Rosie: Yes, we had an oops. Lol. I randomly ovulated a few days early and it just so happened that we pretty much nailed a 2-day-cut off. Alls well that ends well. I am good with it.
Thanks for the thoughts ladies. It's a hard week. It's tough to even be excited, but I figure it will come after I grieve my friend.
My lines are darker tonight, so I'm off to a DDC. Good luck ladies!

Congrats hotdogz!!! What wonderful news to come in such a difficult time. I wish you all the best :)
Everyone is sick here. Both boys got a stomach bug on what was for us a long holiday weekend. Older son was throwing up Sat night every hour and since he has only thrown up about twice in his life he never knew when it was coming and always just threw up all over himself. Thankfully he seems to be fine now but younger son threw up on Sunday and now has terrible diarrhea. He is so sensitive when it comes to this stuff that I am sure he will have diarrhea for weeks which is really frustrating. He is in a super great mood, feels fine, but has awful diarrhea and it makes it hard to know when it is OK to send him to daycare or do activities with other kids which he loves. Plus we leave for holidays on Mon so it would be very nice if it would be gone by then (are you listening universe? :) ) And now on Mon DH has been throwing up,etc. So I'm exhausted and with my mom flying in tomorrow it has been terrible timing. I've not exercised since Friday but just haven't had the energy, I've also not been great with the diet. But I always knew I would have to relax on the rules for the time my mom is visiting.
How is everyone else doing?

I had my first acupuncture appointment today. The needles weren't anything like I thought. It was pretty good. I will go back in two weeks :)
Oh no Junie :( Nothing worse then a family full of sickness. I hope everyone gets better soon.
-
I'm glad you liked the acupuncture. My mom did it for years after a car accident and felt like it really helped.
It's official, we're now all sick! Except older son who is now over it. Of course since hubby is also sick I get to suck it up and take care of everything. I hope we all feel good soon!

Junie, Oh no :( Let's hope it finishes with every one and buggers off! It's hard when you have to look after everything else but do your best to rest and keep up the fluids.
I kind of expected the acupuncture to hurt a little. I only had one needle feel like I was being pinched, that's it!
I also had to take Miss 4 with me. Thankfully she was fantastic the whole time. She quite happily had some food and coloured in.

Thank you boysway, i will look at it after my son goes to school :)

hotdogz&boyz- Sending you lots of strength & hugs. You must be having so many conflicting thoughts/feelings right now. Feel free to come to us for support. I don't know if this helps at all, but. I'm native American and we believe that when someone passes before the birth of a baby, the baby aquires the soul of the person who passed. My great great grandmother passed very close to my birth, and my family has always told me that she and I are one in the same, everything from the way we wear our hair to the things we like to do to the way we talk to people. I know many have found comfort in her passing through my birth, and maybe you can look at your little bundle the same way. Even if you don't believe the same thing spiritually, you can always pass on little stories of this man you love so dearly, so that in one way or another your child grows up knowing them too. Again, sending lots of love and thoughts your way <3
