Finally ready to intro!

Hi, all! I've been lurking here since I got my first positive beta, but I think I'm finally ready to intro!
My full history is in my siggy, but after nearly 2.5 yrs, IVF#1 led to our very first BFP ever. I'm 7 weeks today, and I had an excellent u/s last Wednesday. I'll have another one a week from today before being released to the OB.
It's good to see some friendly faces over here from IF and 3T. I hope to have a nice, lengthy stay with all of you here on PAIF!!

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! It's nice to have so many familiar faces over here.
