DH and I found out on Halloween that we're pregnant! (Please, nothing on Facebook yet! We're waiting to announce to family/friends)
We had TTC'd unsuccessfully for a while a couple of years ago, and
then had to put it on hold. We decided earlier this year that we'd
start trying again after I ran the Nike Women's Half Marathon. As luck
would have it, I ovulated only a few days after the race. I wasn't
expecting this to be our lucky month at all (and figured it would likely
take awhile). When my chart appeared to turn tri-phasic, I started
testing at 7 dpo. I got a very faint positive at 10 dpo! We're now at 4
weeks and 4 days!
The EDD is July 13th (Friday the 13th). DH and I are getting a kick out of that coupled with the BFP on Halloween.
I announced to DH on Halloween night. I had just purchased some little Converse baby shoes (since he's a huge Converse fan), and presented him with those. I caught it on video, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4169xRc6jwA
At this point we're cautiously optimistic, since it's so early. But we've decided not to announce to family/friends yet until we've at least had our first appointment, and are thinking we'll wait until Christmas so we can plan it as a big surprise.
Anyway, I'm excited to join you ladies for real (instead of being a non-mommy lurker)!

That's my favorite part! I asked him about that later, and he said that at first he thought they were just little ornaments or something, until it dawned on him that there were two of them. I can totally see the light bulb go off above his head, right as he's closing the shoe box!
