Pregnant!

Alright, it's another pregnancy blog. But this is *my* pregnancy blog, which no one else is ever going to read anyhow.

Backstory: we've been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months now. I broke down and bought some Pre-see lube to try since we hadn't been successful yet. The reviews seemed promising. We'd been using xanthum gum because it's a food product so we were pretty sure I wasn't going to be allergic to it. However, I wasn't sure how it was as a sperm-friendly lube. We went camping over 4th of July weekend and had sex twice with the new lube. I think we may have had sex one other time later that same cycle. I got what seemed like a really weird period when I was away with my mother for the weekend. Brownish, and it only lasted a day. I took a pregnancy test when I got home and it came up negative. I was suspicious and took another one a couple days later, and then a couple days after that. My breasts started hurting and I was having sort of period-like cramps, but still negative on the pregnancy test. Finally, more than a week after the fake period, which must have been implantation bleeding, I got a very faint positive. I tested again first thing the next morning and got a definite positive. That's the day I told M (boyfriend, soon to be husband) - July 25th. I marked it down in my calendar.

It's now a week after testing positive. Here's how things have shaken out:

I've had quite a bit of period-like cramping and have had very faint pinkish discharge twice. The cramping seems to be tapering off now, though.
My breasts were *way* sore for at least a week, mostly before the positive test. My nipples were hard during that whole period and then beyond. They've been pretty unhappy up until very recently. I'm just looking at them now and it seems like this is the first time they've relaxed since this whole thing started up.
I feel like I've gotten the tiniest hints of morning sickness. Often, I'll feel vaguely unsettled when I get hungry. A couple times I felt a bit like I was going to start thinking about throwing up, but nothing worse than that (so far).
I've been tired. The couple of days right after the positive test, I napped for at least an hour in the afternoon. I've been going to bed about an hour earlier than I normally do. A couple of times, I've felt like my energy was suddenly sucked out in the middle of doing something. It makes it harder to get things done (although I must admit that today, I haven't gotten much of anything done but it's been due entirely to laziness).
Today, I've been *starving* the entire day. I've been on a schedule where I'm eating breakfast (usually oatmeal), then an early lunch and an early dinner, with a couple of snacks in between. It seems like I'm pretty much done eating by 6 or so and I just don't much feel like eating after that. Today, I feel like I've eaten about 8 little meals:

1. Cheerios with blackberries
2. english muffin with peanut butter
3. half an avocado with pita chips
4. Activia peach yogurt
5. Yogurt with home-canned pears and blackberries

Well, maybe it's only 5 little meals. Still. At this point (5:00), I'm feel done eating. I'm going to go pick up the CSA and hope that M comes home soon.
