I started to feel very gassy and tired on May 14th, three days before my period was due. I didn't think anything of it until I didn't have cramps on the 16th. My cycles are very regular and the last time I had any disruption to it, I was pregnant with the child I miscarried. I took a pregnancy test the morning of the 17th, and had a very faint, almost invisible plus sign. I figured I was just imagining things, especially since I desperately wanted a baby, so I went on with my life. May 19th was my husband and I's first anniversary, and the day I had my last cigarette.
On Monday, May 20th, I took another pregnancy test and, sure enough, I'm pregnant.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody, bless Jacob's heart. Though part of it can be blamed on the fact that we've postponed the closing date on our new house twice now, and I'm frustrated about living out of boxes.
Looking forward to: First OB appointment, and a visible bump!
