Sometimes calm, sometimes going crazy of course. I’ve been up googling symptoms in the middle of the night for the past two nights. I’ve been really emotional and teared up in Whole Foods today for no reason. What is there to cry about in Whole Foods?! I’ve felt some mild cramps and lots of twinges since yesterday, but part of me thinks I must always have this, it’s probably just gas and I’m just noticing it more. I wish I’d paid attention to my abdominal area last week so I could remember if these twinges are just part of normal life.
It’s my fourth day not exercising. I don’t really feel like eating as much although I’m still trying to eat lots of protein and vegetables, like eggs with spinach each morning and vegetable soup with chicken. Last night we went out for Thai food, which was spicy and warming.

Today Los Angeles actually feels like Halloween. The temperature dropped and it’s been chilly and overcast. I love it! It’s my day off (I work a 9/80) so I had a leisurely morning distracting myself with wedding stuff on Pinterest, then went to Whole Foods to get everything for our Halloween dinner. I’m making Marcella Hazan spaghetti and meatballs with sauteed swiss chard and gluten-free pumpkin spice donut holes. We’re handing out candy with our neighbors and planning to watch a semi-scary movie (not horror, we don’t do horror). With two or three more days until I can take a pregnancy test, I’m glad there’s cooking and wedding planning to do!
I’ve been getting adorable pictures of my niece Guiliana all day from my mom. Tomorrow is her first birthday! I’m missing it because of the FET and not being able to travel, but I sent her a gift I bought in Italy and hoping this sacrifice will give her another cousin!
Giuliana being crazy cute!

I felt twinges too- I believe they were a result of my uterus accommodating the new occupant. So a good sign! Your Halloween dinner sounds yummy! Gluten-free donut holes? Hells yes! And Giuliana makes a very cute pumpkin! You test on Sunday or Monday?
I really can’t tell if I’m making it up, but I don’t think so. We just decided tonight that we’re going to test on Sunday because if it’s a BFN it’ll give me a day to process it whereas if I wait until Monday, it’ll be the start of a long work week. We’ll see what happens…Do you have a Pinterest? Or I can email you the donut holes recipe, they turned out so well!
Do you mean your beta is on Sunday? Or are you going to pee on a stick on Sunday? I don’t feel twinges in my abdomen on a regular basis- only during ovulation, and when I was pregnant. I don’t think you’re imagining it either. (Eeeek… So exciting!)
Yes, I have PInterest. I can search for the pin. What is the pin called?
I emailed you the recipe at your gmail. I also searched for you on Pinterest but can’t find you! I’ll look at what the pin is called. Beta is on Tuesday. My cramps are way more intense today, and my boobs feel sore. I’m not one to make up symptoms or overanalyze my body too much, so I think it’s real. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Thank you so much for emailing the recipe to me. I hope you’re having a good weekend. Oh gotta love the boob soreness. I was so bad for me that I couldn’t even stand the sheet or shower water on them. Are you on any supplemental progesterone?
Yes, thats how i was too when i was pregnant. It was the sorest ive ever been! This is really really faint though, i only noticed it in the middle of the night, and who knows if im getting pregnant or not!
Yes, im on progrsterone vaginally three times a day, but i started it over a week ago so not sure if these symptoma are from that or not. Glad you got the recipe! Those donut holes are awesome. You need a mini muffin pan.
The food sounds fantastic! 🙂 The little pumpkin is adorable.
