As of today, I am somewhere between 2 & 7 days late on my period. Had some trouble pinpointing ovulation exactly this time.
I've been putting off taking the test to find out. Usually, I want the information AS SOON as possible. But I know that it will set off this cascading to-do list in my mind - go to the doctors, plan who to tell, start changing my diet & meds, go back to my Google Drive folder and start organizing all my tips & tasks.
And we closed on the house yesterday, and that was such a big task list and what-if that is now done. We still have repairs and moving, but there is a bit more mental & emotional bandwidth available for this other enormous change.
I just got an email from my boss asking if I can go to Australia for 2 weeks in February. So that was the kick in the butt I needed to gather the information so I can make this decision. I'll pee on the stick tonight. (The tests I have expired two months ago, so if I get a negative, I may go buy a newer pack.)
I wish I could talk to some of my closest people about this (besides the hubby). Just the craziness of these 24 hours, and the changes. I don't know how I can say yes or no to Australia without telling my manager if I am, though I don't really want to bring it up so early. And I realllllyyyy want to go if I can.
But Thanksgiving is in one week, I'll tell my parents in person, and after they know, other people can know as needed.
I really kind of think I am pregnant. I don't feel bad (yet), but I do feel different. There are times when I am suddenly sleepy, and times that I am buzzing and overflowing with productive energy and thoughts so many thoughts! I'm sleeping well & craving healthy foods. If the whole first trimester is like this, that would be great.
Maybe some of the thyroid & PMS upheaval of this year will make the pregnancy - endocrine changes seem like nbd.
