TTC after 35

Snowstorm and a bfp!

I don't even know where to start. I have been poas super early because I'm a crazy woman and I like to pretend my tiniest cat, Rex told me to. I've been getting faint lines on my hpts since 3.5dpt. Each day the lines get darker but my spotting freaked me out. I've never tested positive before and it really through me for a loop. DH said he didn't want to talk bfp with me and would not acknowledge it until today. So I woke up early....took three types of hpts (including a difital) and woke him up that way!! He's excited and now I can't wait to go in for the beta on Tuesday! Looking forward to this snow storm as we are supposed to get 18-24 inches here. @happyktmom - are you getting snow too?

I really love this board. The 35+ group is something fantastic and I have appreciated the support over the many months of being here.
