About to go lay down and try to get in a quick nap before DH gets home...
Been feeling pretty frequent aches coming from down below.
During a few of my period, I'll get this horrible aching feeling that goes from uterus all the way to my lower back. I wouldn't call it cramps, it's just a really sucky ache.
Anyway, that's what I'm feeling right now except not as bad. It's the same type of sensation just not as intense.
I just want to tell everyone RIGHT NOWS! lol
We won't though, but I don't know if I can wait until 12w again.
If everything goes ok, maybe we'll announce it on Zoe's birthday. Her birthday shirt will be the "Big Sister" shirt I've been wanting to get her for the announcement :)

Unbelievable...
I'm not physically shaking but I still feel shaky whenever I look at those 2 tests.
Here's another photo of the FRER just to show how dark the test line got. It is WAY after the time limit, but after about 10mins it stopped getting darker so this is what it looked like then.
And for comparison sake.. here is 9dpo 3mu pregnant with Zoe
When DH finally got up and after his shower. I told him he could have the rest of the sodas (diet Dr Pepper). When he asked why, I whipped out the HPT and gave it to him.
He smiled and then said "I don't see it." lol.... butthead :P
We hugged and got teary eyed. That was it but it was still sweet.
B/c the test line is so dark, I'm becoming a lot more optimistic that this is going to be a sticky bean. Especially after looking at Zoe's tests.
Heck, I even looked up what my due date would be... March 20th :D
Just so excited and happy right now, but I'm also REALLY nervous and scared. Just hoping everything is ok and stays that way.
Debating on when to call this in. Think I may wait until 12dpo which will be Wednesday. That way they can't try to bitch at me too much for testing early. Already going to be a PITA trying to explain to them that I ovulated late when they ask me when my last period was.
This has my brain spinning though. I'm already in plan mode.
Good thing we were going strict b/c I'm definitely going to be now.
Since I had GD with Zoe, I want to make sure I eat as healthy as I can right from the start.
____
In other news.... planning out Zoe's birthday cake. Want to go to the bakery tomorrow to give them the design idea and to get a price for it.
B/c Zoe loves her Stitch pillow pet so much, I want to get a stitch picture on the cake along w/ Hawaiian flowers on the top (2D and 3D) and an edible leis bordering the bottom.
Really colorful and bright. I'll only be able to eat a bite of it but oh well. Everyone else will be able to enjoy it. I'll just squirrel me a piece away and take a bite from it once a day ROFL.
____
OH! I also forgot to mention that Zoe bonked the hell out of her head yesterday at breakfast. We were finished and waiting for everyone to get out of the bathroom. Zoe was playing around and tripped on her shoe and went headfirst right in to the bench. I've never seen a bump develop that quickly.
MiL FREAKED the hell out and kept asking me if her pupils were dilating.
When I told her I couldn't tell.... she then started to tell me what pupils were..... *facepalm
Woman... I know what pupils are! :\
Zoe's fine though. She cried obviously but other than a nasty looking bump on her head, she was ok.
No bump and barely a discoloration/bruise there today.
My poor baby though.

Holy frackin crap
I'll save my ramblings for after....
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was NOT expecting to see this this morning. Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!!!
FRER line started to show about 20-30sec. I thought it was going to be like last cycle. Faulty crap test, but it just kept getting darker and pinker. The FRER photo was taken at the 3min mark. It got a little darker still after that and it is def a nice beautiful pink line.
I wanted to be sure though so used the target brand test too. Again, within 20-30sec... a faint line started to show that only got more visible. Photo was taken at 1min mark.
Started shaking and crying. Crying mostly b/c I don't want to lose this one and praying to whatever is out there listening to let this stick.
DH isn't even awake yet. I couldn't sleep last night AT ALL and our dog kept shaking its head (need to take to vet) so I got up to let them out and feed them so DH could sleep in.
Going to be a nice surprise when he does wake :D
Pls pls pls let this be a sticky bean!!
Will be buying more tests to keep an eye on things.
Oh and I've been feeling some minor aches coming from the uterus area. Didn't mention yesterday but when we were all laying on the bed, she pressed in to my uterus area and it hurt like hell. Actually made me catch my breath. It ached for a few mins after and then that was it. Tossing and turning last night, whenever I laid on my back, I could feel some minor aches coming from there. Thought maybe intestinal since we did pig out on some Chinese buffet before we go strict again.
And this morning, having the same feeling. So thinking it's the bean getting comfy. At least I hope so.

8dpo today.. maybe
So today was filled with... stuff and nothing.
SiL & her hubs went back to Cali. Had breakfast with them.
They had brought with them a pillow pet Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch... a movie Zoe LOVES).
Zoe frickin LOOOOOOOOVES that thing. She carries it around everywhere with her. And it's just as big as she is so it's totally adorable :) Will have to get photos before she moves on to something else. She carries it around along w/ a Santa hat wearing Yoda plush lol. That's my girl ;)
Oh and last night, we didn't get to bed until after midnight. Didn't actually get home until 11:30. Zoe was wrecked so went right to sleep in the car and right to sleep after we got her ready for bed.
She still woke up at 7 though.. grrr.
I guess that was ok though b/c today was her first class of Water Babies! YAY! :D
She had fun for the most part and we learned some stuff we can practice with her at the neighborhood pool.
Water babies was held at the local YMCA. That place was NICE. Helps to be smack in the middle of million dollar home neighborhoods I guess lol. (the ymca, not us ;) )
Zoe doesn't really seem to get the concept of kicking or a scooping motion with her arms and legs yet. Guess she will when she gets older :)
We came home, went to breakfast like I mentioned. Went to Petsmart.... then came back home and rested.
DH let Zoe up on to our bed to play w/ the kindle some. I went in there, and DH and I both snuck in some quick naps LOL. I kept waking up b/c the fan was turned on and blowing right on me making me cold. And Zoe would say something which always wakes me. That was nice though. Just a relaxing family moment where us parents can get some more rest hehe
Anywho... My temp hasn't been the best. It's dropped some and I really wasn't going to test.
But I caved anyway and used a wondfo this afternoon. It was a pretty good hold and... a shadow line appeared.
Damn wondfos and their shadows!
Just one of those things. Could be something or it could just be typical bad batch of wondfo tests.
Here are 2 pics. It's the same test, 2 different photos and of course tweaked w/ contrast and brightness b/c our camera sucks at picking up faint lines.
I know it's still hard to see even when tweaked.
The line came up within 30seconds and while it was faint, it wasn't THAT hard to see either (at least for a POASaholic/ line eyer)
Took another one a couple hours ago and the same thing happened. Faint shadowy line within 30seconds.
Wish I could say that I wasn't getting my hopes up b/c I know how these tests can be, but... yeah, I'm getting my hopes up. Wish I wasn't but I am.
Already told DH that if I get more shadow lines tomorrow that I'm using my last FRER ;) heh
He's fine with that.
When I told him that I got a shadowy line, but it could just be bad tests, he said "Well, lets hope it isn't." Awwww, love hearing that so much.
Just love that he wants another baby as much as I do. Even though Zoe is becoming quite the handful... we're so ready for more and to add even more wonderful chaos in to our lives.
Oh we'll be dying for more sleep, but it will be worth it... and that's what caffeine is for right? ;)

Chlorine??
Ok, this is going to be gross but I have to share it b/c.. wtf?
I just farted and it smelled JUST like a swimming pool o_O ROFL
Ok enough of that silliness :P
____
Got a call back finally today and they've increased my femara dose for next cycle :D WOO! So excited and hopeful.
Also hopeful for this cycle too and starting to really think that I did ovulate. I don't know if that one BDing or if it was a strong ovulation, but my temps are looking more and more like I did ovulate.
But again, may not have been the strongest ovulation but we'll see.
I could be 6dpo today.
Maybe I got a bad batch of wondfo OPKs. I see people using wondfo and then another brand and they get 2 totally different results. A lot of the time one will be an obvious positive while the other isn't (usually the wondfo), so maybe that could've happened with the ones I have. *shrugs* Just a thought.
____
Zoe seems to be going down for a nap much better now. I keep her up until around 11 and then put her to bed. She'll cry a little but will usually stop within a minute or 2. SO frickin glad for that.
Took 2 showers with her. She didn't seem to mind it that much except for when my shampoo would splash on her face and in to her eyes. Oops...
She did well both times though :) Only did it both times b/c I REALLY needed a shower and she had already taken a nap. It was just easier to bring her with me than remain funky for a few more hours until DH got home lol.
____
Looks like brother and wife are still going to comic con.... whatever. Their money but I wish they would save it and spend it more wisely. Especially now that my brother isn't working b/c of his possible seizure thing.
They just never plan ahead and it irks the shit out of me b/c they end up borrowing money that they never intend to pay back.
Anyway, I was asked if I would watch their baby and UGH I don't want to. I love seeing him, don't get me wrong, but he is not the easiest baby. He's super fussy and demanding and I have no idea where he's going to sleep. We'll see what happens though.

Hope?
Allowing myself to hope... just a little.
I'm still leaning more towards not ovulating (more temps will show me whether I did or not)...
looking back at the chart where I definitely did (Zoe's chart)... my temps look kind of similar... at least w/ what they're doing post-O.
That cycle, they rose pretty slow and weren't very high at first. I had a dip at 5dpo then it shot up after that and stayed above 98 most of the time... there was one day when it dropped to just below, but I had already gotten multiple positives by then.
Anyway, IF I did ovulate when FF says I did, I'd be 5dpo today and I had a dip.
It could be nothing though. While the EWCM was there, that +opk wasn't.
My breasts did start becoming sore a few days ago when I would've been... maybe 1 or 2dpo and they were sore for the TWW last cycle too.
Just have to wait and see... which BLOWS.

Back and... EW
Ok so, the beach trip... probably just shouldn't have happened b/c it was kind of pointless. At least for me.
DH, MiL, FiL, SiL and her husband went deep sea fishing. Only FiL caught anything large enough to keep.
So while they had fun, the rest of us... not so much.
We were basically just left to hang out at the hotel.... which wasn't on the beach.
I THOUGHT we were going to go to the beach while they were fishing but no.
That's one problem with the inlaws. While they love going places... they also love just hanging out in the hotel rooms. I can see relaxing but that was just a huge waste of time.
Also... holy shit SiL and her husband (DH's younger sister) are terrible frickin snorers who seriously need those apnea machines at night.
Their snoring kept me up almost ALL night long. Didn't help that we had to sleep w/ Zoe and she kept crowding me and tossing and turning lol.
But their snoring... holy shit.... I wanted DH to smother them both. I laid there and actually contemplated sleeping in the hot ass car or going to walmart all night long just to get some peace. Keep in mind that we went to bed at 11pm......
They did eventually quiet down at around 3 or 4am and I did get to sleep until 6am :\
So yeah, after typing this out I'm going to go crash.
That was just.... nope. Never again. Ear plugs wouldn't have drowned those 2 motorboats out.
I can fall asleep with a lot of noise, but snoring is not one of them. Snoring is like electrical hum to me... it drives me absolutely frickin crazy when I'm trying to sleep.
When DH and crew got back from fishing, we went out to eat. The buffet was good. Expensive but good.
I wanted to go to the beach after, and we would have if we had gotten any sleep but we were too tired and knew we had a 2hr road trip ahead of us so we just got everything from the hotel, said our goodbyes and left.
We didn't have anyone watching the dogs. We gated them in to the kitchen area... aka no carpet area.
They still managed to push their way out. Funny thing though.... there were only 2 pee spots (on the carpet of course *grumble*) and absolutely NO POO. Not even poo smell.
Why? Well b/c our smaller dog is a total poo eater and apparently had himself a mighty fine fresh snack *BARF*
On one hand... woot, no poo or poo smell to deal with... on the other hand *GAG*
Just need to make sure he doesn't try to lick us.... bleh.
Anyway... meh. It was a pointless trip IMO. Waste of gas. We went to the beach and didn't actually GO to the beach. Hell, we didn't even see the frickin ocean.
But Zoe got to play with her cousin and visit with everyone so that was a plus.
