With having family in town over the long weekend and getting sick with the flu, I have been MIA. I hope everyone had an amazing Holiday!
After a hectic, but wonderful Thanksgiving, the TWW got the best of us so we decided to test earlier than planned at 10 DPO and to our surprise we got the BFP we have been eagerly waiting for. Since then we have been testing daily (AM and PM) and the lines keep getting darker so our fingers are crossed everything is good to go and this sticks! Needless to say, DW and I are beyond excited and filled with so much happiness, love and excitement.
