CD23 (yesterday) was the first day I haven't felt any sort of activity from my uterus area. I've been complaining about how the cramps and back aches continued even after O, but now that they are stopped, I feel like knocking on my abdomen, "Hello, can anybody hear me?" I'm grateful for the break from discomfort, but the discomfort was some sort of reassurance in my mind that maybe I was pregnant. Many women tell me they didn't have any symptoms during their 2WW and still got their BFP. I'm crossing my fingers I still get mine!
Last night I wanted to take a 3mg tablet of melatonin to help me sleep and go to bed early (8:30pm). I read the warning on the label and pregnant women should not take it. I told DH, and his response was, "Ok, don't take it then." That made me feel good for a moment; I'm glad he's optimistic. I was bummed that I was going to try to get 10 hours of sleep without assistance, and I knew it wasn't going to be very successful. DH lied down next to me and held me. I was feeling a little emotional and had the desire to vomit, but I think the later feeling may have been from taking my prenatal pill too early in the evening.
I woke up at 2:30 to temp, which was 96.88 degrees. I tried going back to bed but my mind woke up. I went to FF and put in my temp and entered in my cervix data for yesterday as well (LFC). Then I went to FB and saw a post from my brother's girlfriend about their baby boy's name being in their most recent blog post. Of course I had to check it out. Christopher Dale. Her favorite name is Christopher, which happens to be my brother's middle name and our father's first name as well. She had told me through a text a few weeks ago that she really wanted to use it but wasn't quite sure how to fit it in as a fn or mn. I saw "Dale" and got jealous. I want to use Dale for a second son's mn because our first son will be Merrick Rainier. In our case, Dale is for DH's maternal grandfather, my maternal grandfather, and is also my step-dad's middle name. I sent her a message through FB telling her that I liked the name, and asked her if they chose Dale because it was our grandfather's name. Her response, "It is your step-dad's middle name." Duh, Sweetie, you don't have to tell me. So, I guess they chose Dale for the same reasons I would have. I have to tell myself that they are the ones with the REAL baby, and I just have an imaginative baby that is probably 6 years away if we're lucky, meaning we have a girl followed by 2 boys. I'm the genealogy nerd in the family, so I'm also very pleased that the name they chose has meaning in that regard as well.
I am starting to feel a little bit more emotional, which is probably due to my hormones during this phase of my cycle, but it's a good reminder that I definitely need to think before I speak, to take a deep breath and think about what I want to say and how I want to say it.
Today is Friday, and I'm definitely going to be working on some baby projects. This should be fun.
