2ND TEST RESULTS...

Oh wow!!! I tested again this morning using a First Response and it was a definitely BFP!!!!!

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really didn't expect to be successful on our FIRST try! And neither did Shad.

His first reaction was, "No, not yet!" He was terrified about what this will mean financially. By the time we went to bed last night, though, he was telling me how much he loves me and was kinda being emotional about it. He was also asking a lot of questions, which is good. I think we're both going to be back and forth between fear, excitement, nervousness, happiness, etc. for a while.

We're just going to have to trust that God wants it this way for a reason. For me to get pregnant so quickly is a miracle in itself! Now, the next part is to hopefully carry this child to full term. I don't know what I'd do if I miscarried!!!

Shad was hesitant about telling people at first. He said that I should wait until after the first 12 weeks. However, I told him that's fine and dandy for friends, co-workers, acquaintences, but we're going to be telling our immediate family as soon as possible. I plan to call for a doctor's appointment to confirm by blood test (if they do that!) on Monday. I would really like to get in next Friday afternoon since I get off work at 11:00. That way, nobody at work will know yet. As for telling our family, if I can contain myself, we'll tell everyone on Mother's Day weekend. That will make for such a great Mother's Day gift for my mom. I've already decided that we'll be telling her first since I'm closest to her.

My dad is coming over here from Knoxville by himself to bring us his gas grill and my jewelry bag that I left at the cabin in February. He'll be spending tonight and leaving first thing tomorrow morning. It's going to be so hard to not tell him! I had to go hide all the baby stuff in our guest room. Only 3 more weeks! None of our family lives in town with us, so at most, we see them on weekends. Then, it's only about once a month, so hopefully, these 3 weeks will fly by!

Wow! I still just can't believe it! A Christmas baby!

TESTING DAY!!! Am I pregnant???

CD28, 14 dpo

Well, I tested and got what I consider a LFP. The very faint line showed up after the 3 minutes but before the 10 minutes. I'm not convinced yet as it was only a cheapy test and will keep temping and testing over the next few days until I'm convinced or AF shows up. I really don't know how I feel; it's all so unreal right now.

While I was getting ready this morning, Shad called to let me know that he was going to be heading straight for the bathroom when he got home from work. I had to hurry to get my stuff transferred to the bedroom so I could continue getting ready while he was occupying our only bathroom. I had thrown the test and test box away and didn't bury it (I should've taken it straight to the outside can instead!). Therefore, HE SAW IT BEFORE I WANTED HIM TO! Dang it! So much for surprising him!

Anyway, I don't know yet if the positive is true or false, so like I mentioned above, I'll keep testing over the next few days until I'm convinced.

I can't believe this is possibly true just yet!!!

CD 27, 13 dpo, 1 day until testing

I went to the Dollar Tree today during my lunch break and bought another hpt. If my temp stays up tomorrow morning, that's when I'll be testing! I am SOOO nervous. I SO want it to be positive, but keep thinking that I'm not THAT lucky! This is only my first month of ttc. Although, I could take after my mom in that she would get pregnant right away. Who knows...

My next update will be tomorrow with the results!
