But....
Excuse the 1970's style bathroom countertops, but you are looking at a BFP!! The first positive pregnancy test I have ever seen and I am absolutely over the moon!! I honestly thought we were out this month. I did a terrible job temping/charting and just really didn't put much effort into TTC this month. On top of that I started a brand new job and my insurance doesn't kick in until November 1st (oops)! I do still have my old policy, so I am not worried about coverage.
OK so here is how it all went down....
Like I said I really thought we were out this month and I wasn't even planning on testing at all. Fertility Friend hadn't confirmed my O date since I had a lot of missing temps and open circles. I woke up on Friday morning (September 10) and considered not even taking my temp, just waiting for AF to come. I thought I would take it just for the heck of it and I am so glad I did! It had actually gone up! So I decided to go ahead and test. I am so used to seeing negatives that I usually can tell right away that it is going to be a negative, but I still let it sit for a few minutes just to make sure. So this one looked like it was going to be a negative so I followed the normal routine of setting the strip down and going about my business, doing my makeup and hair or whatever. Well when I glanced back down at the test I about had a heart attack! I could not believe my eyes. Dave had already left for work so I just walked around the house in shock! I didn't know what to do!
So I went on to work -- it was a long morning -- and bought a FRER Gold Digital at lunchtime. After the longest three minutes OF MY LIFE, that beautiful YES+ finally popped up! After work I went out and bought a card, a bib that says "I love Daddy", and the Willow Tree New Dad figure for Dave. When he got home I handed him the bag and told him to open the card first. He just sat there staring at me in shock! He kept saying "are you serious?" I wish I would have thought to capture the look on his face with my camera, but my mind was preoccupied at the moment!
In short, I am so very grateful for everything that God has blessed me with :) I know I don't deserve it all, but I am thankful nonetheless. I prayed and prayed for this day, shed many tears along the way, and I sit here typing this and just can't believe it is actually happening! I have never felt anything like it :)
