I feel like I have a lot to tell you my lovelies, well a ton of different topics to talk to you about. I might be breaking this up into smaller posts that I'll write today and then I won't have to worry about writing a post every day Monday - Friday. Sound good? Good.
This weekend was really good. I'll talk about that in another post when I can find my dumb camera cord so I can show you all the pictures. We were working on our lot, which will be given to us by Mr. Skinny's grandparents. It was Pop Pop Skinny's dream to have us home again and living out on our lot, so this weekend was a little bittersweet for us all. Knowing that Pop Pop would have loved seeing us home and working on out lot was hard, but it's exciting to be getting closer to actually having a lot for our house. It's getting there!
Second update? Running. Since I last blogged, I ran 3 times, all were pretty good runs. On Saturday I ran 2 miles straight! No walking breaks at all! I'm trying to trust my body and push myself, but not push myself too hard in case I am pregnant.
Speaking of that, I have a somewhat personal question for you ladies who have had kids. When do I take the pregnancy test? I have 3 of them under my sink. To be honest, I don't really feel any different than my normal self, but I've been googling "early pregnancy symptoms" like mad, hoping that I could come across one that I could say I was feeling. I know you're supposed to wait until after your missed period, but I have no idea when mine is supposed to come since going off the Pill! Before I started birth control, my cycle was around 5-6 weeks, ish. So should I play it safe and wait for like 7 weeks before taking it? Or go by how I feel?
I'm really trying not to stress, I know it doesn't help the whole process. Honestly, I don't even normally stress, and I really don't think I am. I'm just curious, and a little anxious about not knowing. It doesn't really help that for the first time ever my entire family wants to go on vacation next summer and we're already looking for a place to stay in VA Beach. Mr. Skinny and I want to go really bad, but we'll have to see when we get pregnant. My brother is graduating next year, so he gets to pick, and he wants everyone to go together. My family doesn't know we're TTC, so we can't really say anything. I just hope that we don't book the house before we know if we can go or not. I think I would be okay with taking a pretty small baby to the beach, but I wouldn't want it to be too soon.
Oh, and last by not least, we have our first Non-Scale Victory is quite some time! I was trying to think of something to wear to work last week and remembered these jean bermuda shorts that I had. I dug them out, and tried them on and look! They don't fit! It was a wonderful, wonderful feeling, for sure!

When did you take a pregnancy test?
When was your last NSV?
Way to go with getting in those 3 runs!!! You're doing awesome. I really need to get back into running. If only it would cool off down here because I don't really have access to a treadmill. As soon as Sept hits, I'm back at it!
ReplyDeleteI took a test when I was 5 days past my expected period. I pretty much already knew at that point though, but I had to wait for my husband to return from a business trip!
