Pregnancy Symptoms??

Though many women never feel a thing--even weeks AFTER they miss a period--there are a few things some women claim to feel during the Two Week Wait.  One of them is sore boobs.  Another is having weird baby dreams...

My right boob is sore.  
A little.  
Ok, barely.
And only the right one. 


Last night I had a weird baby dream.  
I dreamed I had this baby crocodile for a pet!  It was about a foot long and bumpy and cold and green!  And the worst part about it was that it would bite!  So everywhere I'd go around my house, I'd be searching frantically for the damn thing--afraid it would get me!  I got so stressed out, I woke myself up.  Now why it never occurred to me to put the thing in some sort of tank with water or something (or to have a damn reptile for a pet in the first place!!!) is beyond me.  But, I had the dream, nonetheless.

Now I say all of this facetiously...  There is actually no possible way I could be feeling pregnancy symptoms this early on.  (It's only been 3 days since the insemination!)  Believe it or not, if one of the spermies reached my egg, then the fertilized egg (a.k.a. dividing mass of cells) is still making its long, arduous journey through my fallopian tube.  It will still be a few days before it will find a comfy home in my uterus and implant there.  That, my friends, is when you are technically preggers.  
You're welcome.  :)  

I made myself a couple of promises.  
One, that I wouldn't get too caught up on the Crazy Baby Train--freaking myself out and wondering if every little thing is a sign of pregnancy.  We knew going into this round, that the conditions weren't perfect and that it may take a second "go" if the injections were going to work.
And two, that I would keep a sense of humor about it all.  
I figure if I can do those two things I just might survive until March 30th: Day of the Pregnancy Blood Test.  12 more days to go....

Ha! A crocodile sister? Maybe your little mini-me will be a biter! Perhaps the croc was trying to tell you he was hungry. A lesson learned for when your shnookie is here: don't forget to feed the baby!
