My first entry

Hello! This is my first blog entry. I am not sure how this is going to work yet, how often I will post and what type of info, so please be patient as it is a work in progress. I will try to post frequently. To be honest I have been thinking about doing this for awhile and last night Chris suggested I start a blog, since we are at the beginning of a new journey for us....

Our exciting news is, we are pregnant!!!! Unbelievable! I am still in amazement. I tested on Thursday, Feb 15th. When I looked at the test and saw the 2 lines, I couldn't believe it, I must have checked it a dozen times. Thank goodness I didn't test until around 5pm, so I didn't have to wait that long for Chris to come home. I ran to the store and got some burp clothes that say 'I love Daddy'. That night when Chris came home I gave him a belated V-day gift. His reaction was priceless. For a split second he was confused and didn't know what to make of it. I was bursting with excitement and he was thrilled. We have had quite an interesting 8 months trying to get here (we were gearing up to do our first IUI treatment this month, so imagine our shock when it happened on its own!!). For those of you who know me, I was absolutely giddy. Friday I went for a blood test at the doctor's which confirmed our news (progesterone levels were good and Beta was 89). On Tuesday I went back to have my beta levels checked and they were up to 750 which was great. I go back on Thursday and if they doubled again (like they are supposed to) next week I should be able to have an US.

As of now we haven't told anyone. It is nice to have this little secret and keep it between the two of us. Not sharing our news, has given us time to let it sink in and enjoy the quiet time together. Although it is getting harder and harder not to tell anyone (especially for me), so we plan on telling our immediate family this weekend.

Till next time :-)
