I just wanted to take the time to tell you THANK YOU for all of the support & kindness that you, my bloggie friends, have shown over the past week. It has been a whirlwind of events & we feel so blessed to have loving, caring people in our lives (both old friends & new acquaintances) to continually pray and offer words of encouragement! Gregg and I were just talking and commenting on how awesome it is to think about how many people know about our situation and are praying for us...it actually made me kind of teary & emotional...so what I'm trying to say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
On a related note, this 2ww is KILLING ME! It seems like so long ago since I've been hopeful during the 2ww that I forgot what it was like to over-analyze every twinge, pang, and twang of my body...like today, I've experienced a cramp in my side that's lasted for several hours now (like you would get during a long run...not that I would know what that's like or anything), two dizzy spells, and a wave of nausea. It's probably nothing different than I would ever experience during "normal life" but of course, I go back and forth between taking them as positive signs and negative signs depending on my mood...and in reality, they probably mean NOTHING, considering I'm only 4dpd3t (four days past a day 3 transfer), which basically means 7 days past ovulation...and symptoms aren't really expected yet. So grrrr....we continue to wait for another whole, stinking, crazy-long, seemingly never-ending week! Beta is on Tuesday 5/13.
Finally, let me tell you what a humbling experience bed rest really is. I was definitely looking forward to it, but by mid-day on Saturday, I had about had it! I felt like a slave-driver asking my mom and dad to do everything for me (G, of course, was out on a golf outing - how convenient for him! haha). Of course, they didn't mind doing and doing and doing for me at all...in fact, my mom was going around the house weighing all of my heavier items (laptop, school bag, etc) to make sure that they didn't exceed my 10-lb weight limit for lifting...so Gregg has been joking now, picking up paper clips and specks of dust, asking if they weigh too much for me to carry...haha what a FUNNY guy! But, as I knew I would, I am wishing for those two days back (well, not the no-shower part of the two days) because now I am back to work and wishing that I didn't have to be...
Thanks again for your continued prayers! We are so blessed!

I've had my fair share of bedrest experience and I know it can be very difficult at times. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for all the best. :)
I am praying for you during this roller-coaster of waiting. I totally get the overanalyzing... last month DH and I had IUI #2 but this past Monday-- a day early-- AF arrived. I hope you will get wonderful news this Tuesday!
Well, symptoms aren't expected, but I will tell you that with my first son, I knew a week before a missed period that something was up. My husband was home from Korea on mid-tour for one month and we decided we were ready to start a family. He returned to Korea on Feb. 2 and I told him before he left that I was pretty certain I was pregnant. I just didn't feel right. We had gone out to eat the night before and I kept having to leave the table because I thought I was going to be sick--but never was. Anyway, I had a positive pregnancy test on Feb. 14th--which was a few days before my period was expected. With my second son, I had NO clue. I was 4 days late and didn't even realize it. I woke up sick in the middle of the night and mentioned it to my friend the next day. She said that maybe I was pregnant. I took a test and about fell over when it said pregnant!!
All that to say. You can never really say what is normal--no two pregnancies are the same--even when they are from the same person!!
