okay then

Well I guess what I was feeling wasn't just in my head. Yesterday I told T that if I'm not pregnant than I have freaking mono or something. Turns out it wasn't mono just a little alien taking over my body, and making me sleep 12 hours at a time! Last night I kept dreaming about peeing on the stick and it flashing the word pregnant. I swear I peed on that stick all night in my sleep and when I woke up in the morning to see that actual word I was shocked! I cannot believe we got it on our first try. I feel so humble and grateful. I know many woman struggle for so long, I read your stories. It's your stories that made me not take being young and healthy for granted and to not assume that automatically equals fertility. Months ago I talked to my naturopath about increasing my fertility odds and have been taking herbal pregancy support. I also replaced coffee with green tea. I'm not saying these things are a direct link to our positive but I think it sure didn't hurt! Now, I'm resisting the urge to test my beta levels at work. I don't want to tell any of my co-workers yet and I'm too much of a wuss to draw my own blood, so I guess that pretty much rules out free hcg testing for me.

We are only telling close family and friends right now. My mom was the first person I told. She was driving home from work and had to pull over the car because she was crying. It was so awesome. She is so excited and we are so lucky to be so loved and supported. T also told her mom and got a very similar response. She asked to speak to "baby mama" but I had already left for work. She was not pleased and said that I'm just going to need to retire because we've got nurseries to paint and garages to convert into apartments. She's already moving herself in! T was really happy to get such a warm response.
