Hi Everyone!

Finally, after almost 4 years of ttc, 2 miscarriages, and 1 failed IVF, I got a BFP yesterday!  They called with my beta today and it was 346!!!  I've NEVER had such a high number!

But, truth be told, I'm scared. Every twinge is a potential cramp, every discharge (sorry if TMI) is potential bleeding...I keep reminding myself that I've never been here before, so I can't possibly know what to expect and how I should feel. But I was much more relaxed yesterday when there were no twinges/cramps.  (I do love my sore bbs though...they are such a nice, SAFE reminder that I am finally preggers!! Aren't I crazy????)

My parents, who live in NV, are coming home on Sat. I've always said that I want to be able to tell them in person, so I bought a pink shirt and a "Barefoot and...." iron-on that I was going to make and wear to the airport. But DH keeps saying, "Are you sure you want to tell them?" and my neighbor (who I just told since she's gone through this whole process with me), just said the same thing.  My thinking is that I would want them to know if something goes wrong, why wouldn't I want them to know from the beginning? (I'm a 'share-my-life' kinda girl!)

Am I crazy? Should I not tell them? I'll have my second beta by then (could even have my third!)

Anyway, I'm excited to be here and anxious to catch up with everyone!

Here's to a happy, healthy and exciting nine months!

Thanks, Kelly! :)

You actually made me laugh out loud! I know it's all out of my hands, anyway...so, why the heck am I fussing??

That's so funny about the drinking...my neighbor asked if I was going to tell my whole family (we're having a reunion at my house on Sunday) and I said, probably not, but they'll probably guess since I won't be getting sh**-faced!! :)

I still have a ClearBlue (says pregnant or not pregnant), but I haven't taken it yet. I think that I am going to use it when I do finally announce...take a picture of it or something!

Lisa I am so happy for you. Of course you should tell them. They are your family and will be your support system for the next 8 months.  I already told my entire family. I am keeping it from friends tho until I hit 8 weeks and see the HB on U/S.   They are gonna wonder why at these upcoming biker parties why I am not drinking my typical rum and cokes.   I am gonna tell them I am on antibiotics or something. :)

You are not alone. Everytime I go pee I search the toliet paper for blood. I also have mild cramps and twinges which is perfectly normal. Our littles ones are going through a lot of work in there and the placenta is forming. :)

I am nuts and have peed on 3 sticks. LOL all positive and the line is even darker.
We are going to have a great time these next few months!
