Ouch!

I just got back from getting my blood drawn for my next HCG test. Ouch! This time it hurt! The needle was much larger and she did it so fast I swear I could feel my vein PUSH the blood right into the vial! Only took her a few seconds to fill the vial then that was that. Hurt when she pulled the needle out and it hurts now still. :*(

My pregnancy symptoms seem to be rising a bit starting last night. The mild cramps are more often now, mostly starting after I'm up for a few hours and getting more frequent as the day goes by. Really very mild, like someone poking my right side where I normally get period cramps. Not really painful, just "there." I'll know when something bad is happening when those lil pokes turn into period-like pains like before the miscarriage. I'm starting to have some mood swings now, too. Oh boy!

Today I feel rather irritated by everything. I've had worse irritability, but none in the last few weeks to speak of. Every little thing today makes me bark at something. I normally love listening to Devin go on and on and on about stuff, but today it was irritating (sorry hubby!) People on the road made me mad for small things. I would feel somewhat down one minute then happy and excited and hopeful the next. Just all over the place. Up then down then everywhere else.

My boobs are more sore now than before, too. Just keeps getting worse! I don't fit into my bras again. I can feel the strange tingling in them as they are preparing for a baby.

But all of this is a GOOD THING. That means I'm still pregnant!
