What a surprise

I'm in complete shock over here. Since Tuesday I've been cramping but off and on. So yesterday when my period still hadn't started I took a test. I only had digi tests that were free to me. I didn't not expect it to read pregnant.

Complete shock. 

Seriously I haven't gotten pregnant on my own since 2004. SHOCKED!!!! 

Tim was still sleeping so I woke him to show him. I asked if he could read that. His response was no but I'm guessing it says your pregnant. Yes sir indeed I am. I am pregnant. I had to wake him because I couldn't contain my excitement and had to tell my mom and sister. 

Today however I took a first response test. I'm a line girl. I need to see how dark the lines are and how quickly they appear. They were instant. As soon as the pee reached where the line was bam there was a line. 

Above right away.

We've told a lot of family so far and several friends. I have a really good feeling about this all. 

We haven't told the kids. Owen wouldn't understand but Leiland would. He's still convinced I need to "get working on making him a sister." Im trying little man I really am. I want to see an ob and maybe get an ultrasound to show the heartbeat before I give him the news. I'd love to record us telling him because I want to see his reaction over and over. 

So what changed? Seriously. I've had horrendous periods for months. The past few they've gotten much better. Just after thanksgiving I began working out and tracking everything I eat. I've lost some weight and overall think I'm healthier. I think this is why I got pregnant. I had hopes of this but did t expect it to happen so quickly. I punched in my ovulation date from using my Ovacue monitor (December 31, 2015) and it puts me due September 22, 2016. 

I still am in shock. Yesterday I could not stop smiling and hugging these beautiful boys. 

Praying for a baby that sticks. Healthy

Since its a holiday weekend I just need to wait till Tuesday (tomorrow) to call and try to get in asap for bloodwork.

I must say seeing the results of the Chinese gender prediction makes me smile a little. We shall see what comes of it. 

6dp5dt pregnancy test "11 dpo"

Today test, darker than yesterday - this makes me hopeful.

HCG

This morning I got a positive pregnancy test and went to get my blood work at 1:30. The results were positive with my HCG level being 8. 5 is considered positive so its positive just really low. I am honestly worried. Praying my heart out right now.

We're Pregnant

So while on vacation, I took a pregnancy test with the plan to take it on the 23rd. When I got to where we were going, my Aunt Jillian offered me an extra she had. So I took the one I brought on the 21st. I knew it was early. I was in the bathroom and I knew I could see where the line SHOULD be, but wasn't sure I was seeing a line, so I put it in the package and returned it to my suitcase. About an hour later I checked it, and in real like, I could see it was a VERY faint line. I showed Tim and we were both excited. But a little while later I started wondering if it was my trigger shot that was showing. So back to waiting. Yesterday, I woke up at 6am to pee, and took the extra test. When I was in the bathroom the lighting was bad and I was tired, and I really coudln't see a second line. I was a little sad, but didn't think we weren't either. Again, I put it in the suitcase and checked it later in the sun, and this one was much darker. So I left it on the nightstand for Tim when he woke up. I went to wake him around 9, and he said he had a dream we had triplets. I just laughed because I am pregnant.

So we flew back to CA, and this morning was my first blood draw. My beta came back at 147!!! Thats awesome. Last time my beta was 29. So I go back Friday for another draw. I am so excited. Tim is worried its twins, but I doubt it. I think its just healthy.
