A baby! I hit my 4th month yesterday! Woot woot!
We had a long journey to get here but it feels good to finally be here! ![]()
We were on vacation in Ireland and I thought all of my symptoms were from the progesterone supplements I was on. Which I'm sure intensified some of them. Of course I had my moments of thinking "hey maybe I'm pregnant" but I quickly let those go because I didn't want more disappointment at 12dpo when I'm mandated to test because of my progesterone supplements.
I had this grand idea that DH should be the one to look at the stick when I was done after 3 min. I wanted him to have the experience of seeing a blank test, well a test with one line. I figured he might be able to start understanding this part and how terribly hard it is to see it cycle after cycle just with one line. He was up for it.
Morning of 12dpo comes around and I wake up from a dream where I met my daughter. The gist of it was that she was here and everything was going to be okay. It was an amazing dream that felt a bit more than a dream if you know what I mean. So I woke up thinking "omg I'm pregnant with a daughter!!!" Then the next second I got that crazy idea from my head because I was about to POAS and REALLY didn't want to end up crying the day away on one of our last full days in Ireland.
I come out and DH starts to time. He goes in after 3 min with instructions that there are to be no joking about seeing a line if there isn't one. You know how guys can think something would be funny and not really get it. Anyway he comes out staring at it and says "Well I see a dark line and a lighter line......I don't know what that means". I say "There is a picture....right on the test...two lines is pregnant and one is not pregnant...so are there two or one?" Of course he's like "well it's a light line so does it count?" Again I'm thinking he's pulling my leg or just being dumb. I grab it from him and sure enough there are two friggin lines.
We come home and I go in for my betas and at 14dpo it was 435 and then just skyrocketed from there, all in my siggy. They are impressive so take a look
It's been really hard to keep this all under wraps but worth the time to let it all sink in and make sure this is a sticky baby that will be coming out in 9 months.
So ladies.....I guess I'll be here a bit more! ![]()
