Ooh HP EWCM on day 13 and a second temp jump - all clasic signs of a textbook mid cycle ovulation. Encouraging signs that the HP-SP ovavries are performing as they ought.
I noticed an increased desire to leap on my DH at ovulation too. Aren't our bodies clever in the way that everything comes togther (no pun intended) at the ripe time?
One of the facinating things about TTC and now being pregnant, is the way you are no longer n control of your body. You take away the pill and the artifical cycles that ome with it and suddenly are aware of a whole pattern that your body is designed to repeat, all for the purpose of reproducing. And then once one of DH's litle swimmers finally makes it through and we have lift off, there's a really fantastic process starts, all of which I have no control over at all. Occassionally this is terrifying, but tonight I'm not feeling sick, am not too tired and am happy to be in awe of the whole process.
My little bean is 6 weeks old today (fertility friend pregancy site calculates both pregnancy length and age of feotus) and measures between 14 and 20mm. It has a face, arms and lags, a heart and all other major organs now in place. Am feeling quite proud of his progress.
LQ was quite tickled by the snakes in teh car. I've been 5 hpours in the car this afternoon - and the passenger seat was loaded with 'em - been munching on the little blighters all day! Continous eating is a pretty good way of keeping the sickness at bay, although if I continue in this vein, the pregnancy sickness could be replaced by the real thing!!
I think you should maybe try and give yorself a week or so to get back into the swing of things at work before telling them. I am planning to wait until after the 12 week scan before making it official. However, I ended up telling my boss on Friday. But that was partly to explain why I needed to take half a working day to make the four hour journey up to the North West for our thre day training event (I am Travel Lodging for the next 3 days - deep joy!) when all my colleagues were working as normal and travelling up in the evening. I wanted him to know that I was being feeble rather than lazy! But I have a good relationship with my boss and he is a realy nice guy, so I as confident I could tell him and know it would go no further.
Confused glad to hear your friends have defrosted towards you. I don't think new parents are the best subjects for comedy. My friends with the early arrival are looking pretty knackered and their little one does at least sleep quite well between his 3 hourly feeds. It's all pretty overwheleming.
However, as with birth, I am blocking all this out. For now, I'm just going to be excited cos my embryo has a face!!
