Look Ma! No panty liner!

Things are kind of boring here except for the wonder of not having to wear a panty liner every.damn.day. I stopped using the progesterone (finished off last week using Endometrin because I ran out of the Prometrium capsules) last Friday at 10weeks on the dot (Dr.Dry said I could, I swear!) Good riddance! It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but the oozing at random times of the day was really a little annoying.

Otherwise, feeling not much of anything. Breasts are consistently a bit more sore. I'm starting to believe that might be a real symptom. I'm popping out a little bit in the lower abdomen, but nothing that's making me have trouble buttoning my shorts/pants yet. Although, that's probably because my pants are always big in the waist - to accommodate the hips those same pants have to fit around.

Had a very happy 4th of July weekend telling our parents. First up: MIL on Friday night after we arrived ~ 7:30 p.m. for dinner. She was very happy for us and excited. She was funny too. If you recall, we conceived with an IUI the day after my MIL's foot surgery - for which I ran back and forth to her house (2.5 hours drive). Her comment was: I'm not having surgery again just so you can get pregnant! :-)

We went onwards Saturday to my parents' cottage and got to tell them over lunch that day. They were both pretty happy, although I think they already suspected. I guess after all we've been through none of this is really a surprise to those in the know. We had also been together so many times since our first BFP beta and they, of course, noticed me not drinking alcohol or caffeine, but, of course, didn't say anything.

We also called Mr.Right's sister to let her know. We'll see her and our two nephews in 2 weeks at our house, but didn't want to leave her hanging (since we'd told my MIL - so they could gossip, you know.)

It was a little weird starting to talk with other people than Mr.Right about the baby and calendars and such. Mr.Right and I have not really talked that much about what we'll be doing at certain points over the next 30 weeks. But my SIL immediately started talking about how great it will be to have the baby in January and I can just hibernate inside for the first several weeks, and wondered with me whether any of my friends still have maternity clothes I might borrow for winter months, etc. etc.

I think Mr.Right and I just haven't wanted to go there out loud yet (although I do think about the timing of it all in my head quite a bit.) We did start talking on the drive home on Monday, though, about getting a dog this fall and how the timing of that might play out with a new baby at the end of January. I guess we're more willing to talk about dog plans than baby plans right now!

Next up: blood draw on Monday that is part of the NT test (NT ultrasound not for another 2 weeks! gah!!)
