I scratched the itch.




OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

That said, I'm not entirely surprised, I haven't been feeling quite right. However, that didn't ease the unnervingness of this testing process. I woke up at 6 am and realized that I had decided to test today. My heart started racing. At 6:04 I got out of bed with the mantra in my head "if it's negative, it might just be too early." I peed. I put the stick down, hoping to brush my teeth, put in my contacts etc, during the 2 minutes it's supposed to take the test to offer up the results. But I kept cheating, and checking the stick. And I saw the +, and my hands started shaking. It's really hard to put in your contacts when you can't keep your hands still!!!

At first, it was only the one line and I got discouraged, but through each of my peeks, the second line kept forming.

Holy shit.

I keep saying "this was just too easy." I mean, it took us eight embryos to make Sophia. I would expect us it to take 8 more to make her sibling. But we transferred three. THREE. Freaking a bit now at that decision.

I know there's a LONGGGGG road ahead. I've had a miscarriage before. But, for today, I am pregnant:)

There have been too many little devils on my shoulder telling me to test. At the risk of sounding dramatic, I will protect the anonymity of someone who might read this blog. Hope to be able to tell the whole story in a few weeks. It's crazy what a small, SMALL world this is:)

Dan was still sleeping when I took the test. He and Sophie woke up about the same time. I changed her, grabbed the stick and headed for the bedroom. I shoved it in his face. Romantic, huh? He jumped back like it was a spider or something.
"What's that?"
"It's a test. A positive test."
"Huh? It's early. Explain"
"It's a positive pregnancy test."
"Could it be a false positive?"
"No. I didn't take any meds that might give a false positive."
"Oh." "wow." "it's early." "SOphie, are you ready to be a big sister? Oh, poor Sierra." "Please let it be a girl."

A few minutes later he apologized for not being more excited, but I think I shocked the shit out of him, lol. He had no idea I was testing.

So, beta is Feb 2. NOthing I can do until then but wait.

I'm pregnant! Again!

Oh, and PLEASE. No word of this on Facebook. I'm not sure yet if I'll tell my mom, or wait until beta. She's a worry-wart. Dan said he'll tell his mom, but aside from this blog, and a few friends, we're keeping it under wraps.

Oh, wow. So psyched for you. Hoping that he/she/(THEY??!) keep sticking in place. No worries - my madre knows you did the FET but I won't give her any updates until you're ready. I know it's early days yet. But that's so exciting!! I cracked myself up at the idea that it might be triplet girls. Dan may as well just start taking estrogen shots now. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. ;)
