Intro -- cautiously optimistic/excited!

Hi fellow April 2014 Moms!
Got our (faint) BFP on 7/24 at 11 DPO; confirmed on blood test yesterday (12 DPO) -- HCG of 36. Going back Monday for another blood test to make sure it is increasing, but I think it is because my line on FRER was darker today than yesterday (though still not as dark as control) and I finally got a positive on a digital, which has been giving me negatives. So i'm cautiously optimistic and excited! EDD is April 5, 2014.
Seem to have some early symptoms but may be in my head. Very gassy. Peeing a lot (but maybe i'm just drinking more water??). Definite pulling/tugging feeling in my abdomen/uterus. DH thinks its in my head!
This is our first. We have been trying since January. I have SO many questions about eating, exercising, travel, etc. I'm going to try to steal a few min with my OB when i'm in the office for bloodwork on Monday.
How is everyone else doing/feeling? For those of you who have been through this before, how do you let yourself get excited when it all seems so tenuous/risky?

Re: Intro -- cautiously optimistic/excited!
My advice is to take it one day at a time. Say to yourself "today I am pregnant and today I am happy."
