No news

It's normal to have an irregular cycle when you stop taking birth control pills. I guess that is what my body is going through. I skipped a September cycle and I guess I will skip a November cycle too. Oh well. I shouldn't be complaining...who wants a period anyway?? LOL.

Waiting once again

The one thing that bothers me the most about being off the pill is the uncertainty of when my period will start.  It's Nov 15 - over a month since my last period - and still no period.  Am I pregnant? Well according to the  4 pregnancy tests I've took already, that would be a no.

I got really excited with one result this weekend.  I thought I could see this VERY faint blue line.  I scrutinized over that thing forever. I even had Charlie to check behind me. I was sure it was supposed to be positive but I got another just in case.  This one didn't show ANY lines. Oh well. 

Charlie is sure that I am pregnant. It's so cute. He talks to my belly like there's a baby in there already. I thought I was too. I've been super emotional. Not the crying kind. The ugly tempermental kind. I got into one of my wild rampages the other day.  Charlie is so good about handling them. He'll just bear hug me and insist I look at him.  99.9% of the time I will end up cracking up because I know how stupid I'm being and then that's that.  I've also had these weird cringes of pain in my breasts..I know they're supposed to be sore, so I think I was reading too much into them once again.  Also, I've been bleeding a whole lot when I brush my teeth.  I know there's an increase of bleeding in the gums during pregnancy due to the increase in estrogen. LOL. I might just have gingivitis. It would probably be better if I didn't know all the signs and symptoms of pregnancy.  I need to chill out and let it be. :0)

The baby fever has dwindled some what because I'm no longer in the nursery for clinicals.  However, I've done some peds rotations.  I LOVE children sooo much.  In fact, doing the peds rotations made me want to be a teacher for younger children.  I actually second guess my decision of being a nurse.  All I want in life is to make a huge impact in other people's lives. Teaching and being a mentor for young children is pretty intense. I mean, a teacher is the foundation of that young child's education.  I love my job though so I think I'll stick with nursing and help to save people's lives.  Sorry for that slight tangent.

By the way, I've gain three pounds..so now I'm at 115 lbs prepregnancy weight
Until the next time...
