Wow. What a few weeks its been. A few days after the IUI I thought it didn't work. I was convinced I wasn't pregnant because I felt OK and I didn't have that feeling I had when I was pregnant last year- where I just knew I either had to be very sick or pregnant. I felt fine and it was pissing me off. So I decided to prepare myself for the disappointment and bought 2 first response pregnancy tests and took the first on on Friday March 14th. 10 days after insemination. It was negative- just as I thought. I began to get upset that day but not upset as I usually get. I was still holding on to the little hope that maybe I tested too early. I took the 2nd one on Sunday morning the 16th. I immediately saw one pink line and went back to bed. I told Scott it was negative and we both started to get upset. I didn't even know what to say to him? He got up to get tissue from the bathroom and then asked me "Was that 2nd faint line there when you looked at it?" I sprang out of bed and sure enough there was the faintest 2nd pink line I've EVER seen. We studied the line for at least 40mins. We decide that we will buy another test just to see what it says. So off the the store. I decide to buy digital pregnancy test this time so we don't have to deal with lines or plus or minus. It just tells you in words- Pregnant or Not Pregnant. I took it and Scott told me to walk away from it so I did. I told him to go look at it a few minutes later- he told me to go look at it- so I did. I almost fainted. It said Pregnant! WHAT? I kinda didn't believe it. I was in shocked. I sat there and just tried to absorb what was going on. Could I really be pregnant? Could this be it? Is the wait over? Oh my Gosh- what if I miscarry again? What if there's more than 2? There was a gazillion questions running through my head. I couldn't wait to go to the Dr. to get this confirmed. i just wanted to make it to the heartbeat. I just want to hear a heartbeat. Please God, let this be it.

Scott is absolutely ecstatic. I can't even explain his reaction. It was the sweetest moment of our 10 years together. He kept hugging me and kissing and talking to my stomach already. Just staring into my eyes and saying how happy he was. He was filled with so much emotion. He cried tears of joy throughout the night. He was just glowing! He kept reassuring me that everything is going to be alright that nothing is going to happen. The wait is over. I wish I felt as confident as he does but I have my first pregnancy experience in the back of my head. I just want to make it. I will get more and more excited as the day and Dr. appointments pass. One day at a time. I am now waiting for my blood results to come back and I will be going back to get more blood work on Wednesday to see if my HCG numbers are rising properly. I really hope and pray this is the end and also the beginning.
