Trying to Get Pregnant

Oh dad-to-be, there's a baby in there (BFP)

Good morning ladies!
I got my BFP this morning (13dpo). I'm in a bit of shock since I don't have any symptoms (or maybe those phantom symptoms are real). I will probably still test for the next couple of days until I go for betas.
What we did: Well we meant to have sex EOD, but that went bust when we spent a Jewish holiday at my IL's place (where there is nothing to really do on holidays but go for walks, read, and have lots of sex while everyone else is napping). I went away for a few days, but started using OPKs when I got back and got my first positive OPK on CD20. We had sex 0-1 and 0+1. We tried having sex on 0 day but I that didn't exactly work.This is the latest I O'd
Symptoms: None really. I was extremely thirsty yesterday and was feeling a bit nauseous after dinner so took it easy at the gym last night.
How I told DH: Well DH isn't home on Wednesday nights so after the gym I went out and bought a FRER. I was going to test this morning, save it and give it to him in a dad's to be card (and his birthday is on Monday so that plus a father's day card) on Sunday when we are at my brother's wedding. But instead, I was shaking and shoved the stick in his face. He didn't see the two lines at first (I hope I embedded the picture correctly) and said, oh you're not pregnant. Damn. So I showed him that there were two lines and he broke out in a big goofy grin. This is exactly what he and I needed before my brother's wedding and for DH's birthday.
According to FF because I O'd late, EDD is February 22, 2013.
Goals to complete before EDD: Finish (and hopefully defend) my PhD.
TTC 1: Off BCP late October 2011. BFP #1 Jan 2, 2012; EDD September 5, 2012; m/c Jan 12, 2012. BFP #2 June 14, 2012; EDD February 22, 2013.
My super all about me birth story:
Then: Fraternal twins born at 26 weeks in 1983. Me: 640 grams. Brother: 840 grams. Family kept watch in the NICU for 5 months before being allowed to go home. On oxygen for a year and a half after being released.
Now: Me: PhD student and married. Brother: Lawyer and married.
Dad's wedding speech: Thank you to all the family who stood watch and prayed for our children's survival. Well now the little scrawny chicken is married. Who would've thought? (Thanks dad for making me laugh and cry at the same time).
