Alright, I'm going to write this all down before I forget anything.
On Saturday morning I got my BFP. The weekend seemed to drag on forever because I was so anxious about the IUD and what was going on. I called my sister and best friend immediatly after testing postive (sister is 6 monthes pregnant and bf has a 1 year old boy). Jamie was still sleeping so after talking with both of them I went in to wake him up. My hands were shaking and I was really afraid of how he was going to react. We had not planned on having children for about another 3 years. I woke him up and told him "I know it's early and you don't have to get up right now but I have to show you something" and I handed him the test. He looked at it, didn't say a word and went out to smoke a cig. Needless to say the morning was a little tense in our house.
Later on that day I called my parents...they are beyond thrilled and have been 100% supportive. We also called Jamie's family..that is a different story. His mom didn't belive that I was actually pregnant she actally said to me "I think your hormones are just all messed up". To which my reply was "You do realize that it is next to impossible to get a false positive, right??" Well I think that his parents are starting to come around but his sister is completely on board and has been wonderful. She is already talking about buying diapers and onsies LOL!!
On Monday I asked Jamie to stay home because I had such a hard time with my IUD insertion that I was concered that taking it out would be the same way and I wouldn't be able to drive myself home. I went in to see the doctor at 4 and she had me take another pregnancy test and confirmed that yes indeed I am pregnant. When she went to take the IUD out she discovered that I had partially expelled the IUD. This is probably why I was able to become pregnant although it is possible that I got pregnant and that caused the IUD to expell..we will never know.
The next concern was that it was etopic (sp) pregnancy. My doctor took blood on Monday and wanted me to have more blood today. She called me today with the results of my first blood test and my beta was 9420 which she said was very good and that I didn't need to get a second blood draw unless I had already done it, which I had. She wanted me to come in for internal ultrasound at 2:30 today. So, I left work, again, and found out today that I am offically 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant due on May 28th...9 days after Jamie's birthday!
We are very excited although this was entirely unexecpted. My best friend said it best...there is a reason this baby has to be born...nothing is and accident!
Thanks so much for all your support and good wishes.

You all remember last month when I was freaking out because I thought I was pg?? Same thing this month..I took a test this morning and I am pg...with an IUD....DH is freaking out as am I...I'll update more later when my hands have stopped shaking and I can think straight.

Not much going on but I haven't posted in a while and I'm bored at work so why not?
DH is currently on his way home from Westchester NY, he has had to go up there several times for work and last time he was up there he didn't get home until almost midnight, I had to pick him up from the train station and still had to go to work the next day. Luckily he didn't have to go in so I didn't have to get up early and was able to sleep in a bit.
I went shoe shopping this past weekend. We are currently in debt repayment mode so all things *extra* have been cut out but I was in desperate need of black flats...I haven't had any in about 8 months and I cannot wear heels everyday with all the running around that my job requires. I managed to find exactly what I was looking for at DSW for $35.00, and I saved. $32.00 so I didn't think that was too bad.
This weekend we are going to buy DH some new *dress* sneakers ( he wears sneakers everyday for work but likes to have another pair that is nice for the weekends when we go out) and get our rings cleaned. I want them to look pretty for when we go to NH for his sister's wedding because knowing his family they will want pictures of all our rings together (sounds crazy but I am 99% sure it will happen). I also need to start packing I leave Oct 4th!!! I am soo excited I can't wait to see my sister. She is six months pg and so adorable.
On running and exercise in general. I got to the end of the C25K prgram and was really struggling with the longer runs, right about this same time my good friend and neighbor N decided that he would like to try and get in shape to join the army so I suggested that he do the C25k and said that I would do it with him since I was struggling with the longer runs, so we are currently on week 1.
That's all for now...

Actually I have 2 confessions and they are probably flameworthy so beat me if you must.
I know next to nothing about the Presidental canidates and I don't understand everything that has been going on with Leman Brothers and AIG.
I just don't find this interesting. I mean I hang out on the money matters board and am interested in my own finances but whenever I try and read something about the government it's like giberish (sp).
As for the Barack and McCain I have read one article in my Glamour magazine that I was able to understand but that's it.
Does anyone have any good sites that are easy to understand so that I can educate myself and have an appropriate response when these topics of conversation should arise?
Many thanks.

Either that or I gained all but 2 pounds of it back over Labor day weekend. So I'm back at my orginal starting point...it's dissapointing but I am noticing changes in the way my body looks so that is good news.
I wish I had an "honest" person to tell me if they can see a difference. DH loves me but he won't tell me the truth, either that or he doesn't notice.

This entry will probably be a mish mash of thoughts so bear with me.
This weekend was pretty good.
Friday night we got home and did the bills and money transfering together. It was a good learning experience for DH but I don't think that we will be paying the bills together on a regular basis. Usually I pay the bills and I have system that works for me. I probably couldn't explain it and have it make sense to anyone else but it only has to work for me so that's that. Well with DH there "helping" he asked a lot of questions (which is good) but I had to explain every. little. detail. in the the most basic form to make him understand why I did it. Like I said...not a bad thing but takes much much longer.
Saturday DH woke up grumpy because he didn't have any cigs. He had helped me do the bills the night before and knew that there was not any extra money for him to run to the store and buy a pack (we budget enough money for a carton but not individual packs). My thought was, and I did manage to keep it to myself, was "if you knew you were this low then why didn't we go to PA after I picked you up last night?". Anyway I had a hair appointment that morning that I could walk to but I needed the car to go to the bank to get money for my hair cut. He ended up going and getting me money so that he could go to PA and stop at Halo to get a few things. After my hair appt we layed low because we were expecting TS Hanna to come and beat on us and beat on us she did. I haven't seen it rain that hard in a long time. It was raining and blowing like crazy. We stayed snuggled on the couches relaxing and mostly enjoying each other.
Sunday we got up relatively early to get laundry and errands done so that we could watch football. *Side note...anyone else completely bummed that Tom Brady is done for the year?!?
This weekend coming up I am looking forward to. DH has to work OT on Saturday, and I am looking forward to spending the day by myself. I will get all the errands done in the morning, get the house picked up and then spend the rest of the day watching "girly" tv with the kitties.
On another random note I talked with my boss for almost an hour today. I am begining to understand that she is a very misunderstood woman and even when she seems like she is making irrational requests there is a reason for it.
That's all for today. Hope you all had a good Tuesday.

I repeat this phrase atleast 100 times a day...I am trying to convince myself and remind myself that there are many people who would gladly take the crap that I deal with just to have the regular paycheck.
Truth be told...I can't stand this place. I feel dumped on, manipulated and consistly inadeqet (sp?). My boss loves me one day and won't speak to me the next.
Maybe all jobs are like this?
I thought that when I graduated from college I was going to be living the dream life. Awesome apartment (check) Fabulous DH (check) steady paycheck (check) and a wonderful fufilling career....and we come to a grinding halt.
All I want is a career that I enjoy and feel passionate about. I feel that 24 years old is too young to be stuck in a job that I am miserable about.
So this blog begs the question what do I want to do with my life? Short of winning the lottery and spending the rest of my days on an island with a margarita and DH..I would love to be an event planner or interior designer. I am investigating different things and applying for jobs. If anyone has any leads or connections in Central New Jersey that they would like to share I would be forever greatful. If not I'll take all the job dust I can get. 
Thanks for reading and letting me vent..sorry it's so littered with sarcasm.

I don't own a scale but there are two in my office at work. They were there before I was employed here. Since I have been running I have been checking my weight periodically. This morning I was getting ready for work and noticed that I looked a little slimmer through the belly area. I kinda forgot about it and went on with getting ready. So while I was procrastinating at work waiting for lunch to get here I jumped on the scale.
I am down 10 pounds!!! I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks!!!
This totally makes my day. Hopefully I don't blow it over the long weekend.
Hope you all are having a great Thursday.
