Day 2

My coconut flavored syrup came in the mail today. Too bad I won't be using it to make Dirty Diet Cokes until I know whether I'm pregnant or not.

Well..it's been a full 24 hours since my husband and I tried to conceive. The biggest change in my body thus far is fatigue. I attribute it to caffeine withdrawals. By 4:00 pm today I couldn't keep my eyes open. I even took a late nap til I decided I should wake up and eat. It's 1:00 am now and I'm hoping I can hop back into bed and melt away.

I'm on a light schedule this week. I only work 3 hours a day, and S only goes to daycare for those hours, so I'm not stressing too much about separation anxiety. I hope to taper off at work and do occasional Saturdays or not work at all. Taylor's new schedule will also allow him to take S to daycare in the morning before class, then I can pick him up around noon (on those rough mornings), or at the latest I can pick him up at 3:00 pm after his nap. I am normally a SAHM and would normally choose to keep my children in my line of sight, but I think HG is a situation that would be best remedied with supplementary child care. At least for the next two to three months. Plus, I do believe S benefits from having the social interaction that he doesn't get at home.

I forgot to take my Magnesium/Calcium today til dinner. I really should be taking it with each meal. Tomorrow I'm going to remember to take them with each meal, as well as drink lemon water and take an evening walk, just because I think it would be a good habit to get into.
