Patience? What is that?

Today I'm technically 9dpo. I took another hpt, although I know it's too early, and it was negative. I got a slight + this time last cycle...but the line did not show up until much after the test time. I think I'll probably wait until either Saturday (11dpo) or Sunday (12dpo) to test again.

I'm really trying my best to try to stay busy and not think about this waiting...but it has been really difficult this time.

Symptom check: off and on cramping (it was more prominant around 5-6dpo and now it is just off and on during the day), constipation, boobs getting slightly more tender. I haven't noticed the puffy nip thing yet...but I think that usually shows up around 11-13dpo.

I made reservations at a hotel and ordered our wedding anniversary cake for the weekend of 10/21 (Friday). Our anniversary isn't really until the 23rd, but that falls on a Sunday. It's hard to believe that it has been 6 years now that we've been married. We've been together since 95'...so It feels like we've been married for much longer.

I've been craving sushi like crazy...I'm tempted to call my cousin and see if she feels like going to get some w/ me for lunch...but it's freezing today...so I'm not sure that I really want to leave the house or not. Decisions...decisions.
