The day we found out we were pregnant

So as a lot of you may already know that we tried for over 4 years to finally get pregnant with this baby. It was such an exciting day when we found out. I went to the hospital to do blood work and I was so convinced it was not going to work this month for us. Brian kept telling me to just test with a pregnancy test (we even had one at home) but I refused to use it because I didn't want to waist the test. So I get home and logged in to select health to look at my results. I totally had to take a double look. I even had to confirm what day it was just to make sure it was correct. To give you a little info on hcg blood work. Hcg is the hormone that detects that you are pregnant. So your hcg should be over 100 when you test 14 days past ovulation. Mine was 233! I was freaking out. I was like BRIAN I AM PREGNANT!!!! Just yelling that through the house. I pick up my lap top and run in the other room to show him. We have never had it this high so early in any of our previous pregnancies. It was the biggest shock that I have had in a long time.

Right now I am sitting here two weeks from finding out what we are going to have. I am so excited to see this kid again. I still am shocked that I have gotten to 15 weeks. I know I have a long way to go still. But to make it this far is just awesome :) Feb could not get here fast enough.

Congratulations! Many years removed from it, but I know the timing is exactly as it should be. Someday something will happen and you'll say, "Ah, that's why it took so long!" Hugs! Hope things continue to go well!

You know I already think this baby is destined to appear. There are 2 hats already waiting for the baby and sadly one is ready for basketball season... But you are being safe, and watching yourself closely. You'll have this baby and be even more of a mother than you already are watching out for the well being of such a huge monumental change of life. You're ready and the baby knows it. It just took a little convincing on both parts ;) you'll rock it out!
