Another Introduction :)

Hi all! I got my BFP a week ago, and it's finally starting to sink in that this is really happening. I'm due March 28th, and it'll be our first LO. We're super excited.

I'm 28 and DH is 31, and we have two awesome dogs that we've been calling our "practice kids" for almost 6 years now. That's a lot of "practice", so I guess our kids will be really good at "sit" and "stay".

We told DH's family and our close friends the same day as the BFP, because we're terrible at keeping secrets. It's hard not getting really excited and telling everyone else, but I keep reminding myself that it'll be horrible if I have to "un-tell" them later.

The one really sad thing is that a close friend who's been TTCing at the same time got a BFP the same exact day as me, but lost it the next day. It's been really hard, I want to help her get through this, but of course now I'm just a constant reminder of what she lost, especially since it would have been the same EDD and everything. I'm praying that this next cycle is their sticky baby, and that's saying something, since I'm not usually the praying type.

What a roller coaster of emotions this has been already, and it's only been a week. There's 35 more of these to go??

Congrats but sorry for your friends loss.

Congrats and welcome! I'm sure this is a very hard time for your friend, but if she is a good friend she wouldn't want you to feel bad. It's nothing either of you could have predicted.

I believe the gestation time for humans is ridiculously long - how are we supposed to be patient for 40 weeks? huh? lol
