How did I just know I was pregnant??? Here's how -

After Ovulation I had some mild cramping which lasted about 3 days. After that I began noticing that the cramping was getting worse. I had AF like cramps in my lower back and abdomen and also sharp, shooting pains in my lower abdomen that lasted for a few seconds and then went away. Around 6DPO I notices that my boobs were getting a little sore and by the next day they were swollen, heavy, and hurt terribly!!! I couldn't even walk without holding them to support them. I was also having bad leg cramps in the evenings especially in my calves. My body felt like AF was coming, but I just *KNEW* in my mind that I was pregnant. I also noticed major changes in my emotions. I was crying at everything and mad one minute and happy the next. I just felt like everything was caving in on me!! I was (and still am) a total mess!!!!!! I also was so exhausted!! I was going to bed early, getting up later, and taking naps during the evening. I just knew that there was a little bean growing in there causing me these discomforts.

**Finding Out**

The day I found out I was only 10DPO and totally expecting to see another since it was so early. DH left for work and I got up at 7:30am to take my temp, chart my temp, and POAS. I grabbed a dollar store test out of the closet, peed, dipped it, and sat and waited. After 5 minutes I looked the test and swore that I saw a second line!! NO WAY - you have got to be kidding me?!?!? So I grabbed an Equate test out of the closet and dipped it, waited, and there was a + sign!!! I took a picture and posted it here and everyone told me it wasn't in my imagination, it was definitely a I was SHAKING and in total shock!!! Even after everyone was telling me that it was a I was still not convinced!! I ran to the store and got a Clear Blue Digital, came home, peed again, dipped it, and watched. Within 30 seconds it came up with that beautiful word, "pregnant". I was shaking like leaf and crying like a baby!!!!!!

My periods are sorta irregular since coming off the pill - they range from 28-34 days, so when I calculated my due date, I went with an average of 31 days. My last period was March 28th, so as best I can tell my Estimated Due Date is January 2, 2009 which makes me 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant!!!!

How cute! I was like that when I was pregy with jayden (aged 2)...I knew straight away as my hips suddenly shot outwards (I have VERY narrow hips and cant deliver naturally...so babies have to born via C-Section!) anyway...I took a test and it said But I knew...and I was right!

Anyway, congrats darl...is this your first bubby? Yay we can be pregy buddies!

My mom!!!! I tested around 7:30am and she was supposed to come over to my house at 9am. I was so nervous about telling her!! I was literally shaking all over and almost crying! I know I'm an adult, and I know I'm married, but still..... When I first announced my engagement she didn't want us to get married until I was out of college, but we did. Then she was very adamant about us not having a baby until after I graduated. She literally says something about it every week!!! She knocked on my door and I had 4 positive pregnancy tests in the bathroom. She came in, took one look at me, and immediately asked me what was wrong. I didn't want to jump on her immediately so I told her nothing. She didn't believe me..... I asked her if she promised not to be upset, to love me no matter what, and to be supportive no matter what. She looked very worried and told me yes. Then I started to cry and she said "You're pregnant, aren't you?" I told her yes and she was so excited!! She told me that there was nothing to cry about and everything would be perfectly fine! I was so relieved!!!! She was really sweet and reassuring and made me feel tons better

SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom asked me could she please go buy me at least one maternity outfit and look around at the baby things. Of course I agreed!! We went to a few stores and looked around at bedding, clothes, bottles, ect.... Then she asked me how I was planning on telling my hubby. I told her I wasn't sure yet. She said we should buy something cute to give him, so of course I agreed. Our favorite college football team is the Clemson Tigers - we found 2 unisex onesies that were Clemson Tigers and decided to buy those. Then we found an "I Love Daddy" bib which we also bought. When I got home I wrapped the digi test that said "Pregnant" up in tissue paper and put it in a gift bag, then put the onesies and bib on top of it. When hubby got home I told him I had something for him. I occasionally buy baby things, so when he saw the onesies and bib he loved them, but really didn't think too much about them. He went and put the things away and came back into the room. I told him that he had forgotten something and that if was breakable and wrapped in tissue paper. He started to unwrap it and realized that it was a P-test. He looked at it, looked at me, looked at it, looked at me (this went on for about 2 minutes) and the asked me was it for real?!? I told him it was right there in black and white! He picked me up, swung me around, then promptly put me down and rubbed my tummy and asked it I thought he made the baby dizzy!! It was so cute!! He got really emotional on me and even shed a tear or two. It was so precious and a moment I will never forget!
