Holy Freaking Shit!

EDD: February 24, 2014

Beyond shocked to say the least since we just came off a break and made a half-assed attempt this cycle. as DH would say "didn't expect it to happen that fast".

as I mentioned last post, I had some cramping around 5dpo. I assumed indigestion since I was trying to write anything hopeful off cuz I was convinced it wouldn't happen naturally for us and that we'd be moving onto fertility testing come the fall. that cramping continued pretty much every day in some form or another, but again, deciding it was all in my head in an effort to keep my expectations low. the kicker was Thursday, 10dpo, when my boobs ached instead of just being tender and then cramping almost immediately after having some eggs in my lunch. once that happened, I was fairly certain something was different since eggs haven't been affecting me since some time before xmas.

luckily, I didn't have step class that night so I waited for DH to leave for fire practice and took a test for curiosities sake. I had just peed less than an hour before, but it looked concentrated enough so I thought "what the hell". next thing I knew, that second line popped up. I didn't even know what to do next, lol. it had been 18 months since I saw something other than a BFN or an evap... I remembered I had a digital test so I figured i'd use it to to further cement the idea that this was real since the line on the cheapie was fairly visible. that came up positive as well. holy freaking shit, I'M PREGNANT!

last thing I was expecting right before fathers day was this! so I went out and got DH an early fathers day card  : )  we had plans to see the new superman movie with some other couples, so he still didn't know anything was in the works. when we got home, he finally got to see the card and tests on the counter and was in disbelief. "fuck off, really?" I had to keep telling him "yes, really". on the inside of the card I wrote down the EDD and he got a shit eating grin on his face and rubbed my belly.



we're beyond excited, but also scared shitless because of what happened last time. I've got an apt next week (i'll be about 4w6d) to figure out if i'll get to have an early US and if i'll be getting blood tests or just their standard urinalysis. I'm really hoping I get what I want because god knows it would be nicer to know sooner rather than later that there isn't anything even growing.

the timing of this just kind of worked out somewhat perfectly. not sure how we got lucky enough for that to happen... we're really hoping for that early US so that (fingers crossed) we can tell my dad when he comes out for my sister's wedding and then tell the rest of our families at some point between the wedding and august long weekend. I don't want to wait til we go out to the cabin this year because DH won't be there til a few days after me and I won't be able to drink or drive the seadoo, and I don't want him to miss out on telling everyone. i'm guessing we'll make it official for everyone some time around our anniversary or early sept. we'll see how it goes first. i'm hoping we'll still be able to go to Ontario for xmas since i'll be between 30-32 weeks. and thankfully, end of February is a slow time as far as family bdays go, so LO will be lucky enough to not have their bday in the middle  : )  DH was worried about the possibility of a leap year baby, til I broke his bubble to tell him the leap year was only last year, lol.



still can't believe this is real... i'm just hoping for nothing but good news from here on out!
