Stick, baby, stick!

After months and months of trying, months and months of praying and hoping and crossing our fingers, yesterday I got this lovely sight:

And then today, JUST to make sure:

So far, we are keeping it pretty quiet.  Basically nobody really knows or remembers this blog (that I started last August when we found out we were pregnant, only to miscarry a week later).  So I feel safe about writing in here for now until we make it public.

I am literally just in the 4th week (meaning my period wasn't even late when I took the tests).  I didn't really have any symptoms...not like last time.  Breasts were a little tender, but nothing more than the typical PMS-esque tenderness.  I think the thing that really got me was that I was all of a sudden majorly restless at night and couldn't sleep.  That happened last time, too.

So while Will was at work, I went and bought a 2-pack of tests because I was just sure that I was not pregnant.  I wanted proof so that I could set my mind at ease and impatiently wait for my period to start so we could move forward and try again next month.  It was raining out and I almost decided against it, but I drove the mile up to Rite-Aid and bought the tests and came home.  When I took the test and the 2 pink links immediately showed up (although the test line was faint, I could clearly see it immediately), I about started bawling like a baby.

Since Will was working, I decided I had to go up there and show him in person before anything else.  I put the test in my pocket and drove the 2 miles to his work and was on the verge of tears the whole time.  I had one of his co-workers get him for me and I was acting like I was there to grocery shop (lol).  I then pulled the test out and put it in front of him.  His response was, "You're pregnant?!"  Um.  Yes.  It appears that way.  I wasn't sure if he was petrified or surprised.  He said he was "fine" lol.  My husband, the man of little words.   

So here I am.  Trying not to be completely scared out of my mind because of what we went through before.  I pray to God that this baby is healthy and "sticks"!  Doctor appointment on Monday.

Stick, baby, stick!
