TMI Series: End of Month Three aka We're Pregnant!

That's right! Month three was a successful month for us and we couldn't be happier. Yay!!

I kind of knew I was pregnant before I even tested. I used Fertility Friend to chart my cycle and was also able to access the charts of other TTC women. I had a VIP trial on the site so I was able to chart my symptoms as well. I think this helped a lot and gave me a visual, which helped me keep track of everything.

I test on cycle day 25 and got a faint positive! So of course, I kept testing (just to be completely sure) and kept getting positive tests. This is definitely an exciting time for us but it is also a little scary. We are planning a move to Germany and our new baby will be born while we're living overseas. I'm sure things will be great but I wouldn't be me if I didn't worry just a bit. Thanks to everyone who sent us some baby dust. Now here's to a healthy pregnancy!

Way to Go Will (And Our New Furry Addition)!!

Yesterday was a big day for the C. family. Will was notified a couple weeks ago that he would be going before the promotion board so until yesterday evening, our household was pretty tense. Will was doing a lot of studying as well as getting his Army dress uniform, or Class As, together. Then Will found out that he had to take a Physical Training test the morning of the board. This definitely added to his stress levels. But after all his hard work and preparation, Will passed the board!

To celebrate, I found a gift for him: A Shorkie (Shih Tzu and Yorkie mix) puppy!
"Puppy's" (she doesn't have an official name yet) old mom told me that she did not fit their lifestyle (not really sure what that means) but we were excited to invite her into ours. So far, she's a good puppy (although I had forgotten what life was like with a puppy). Artemus isn't too happy though. I really hope that she grows on him but until then, we'll just try to make sure to keep an eye on them. Well, here's the new addition!

She looks like an Artemus/Mitzi love baby!
