Still in shock

THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.  

Your excited comments for someone that you only know over the interwebs blew me away.  I honestly couldn't have gotten through the past few years without you- and if I'm lucky I still have the rest of 2013 to go with this pregnancy so I hope you stick with me!!

Lest you think that the crazy thoughts go away once you hear that you are pregnant, only an hour after I got the beta results my cell phone started ringing and before I picked it up to look at the number, a thought flashed through my brain that it must be the clinic calling me to tell me that they switched my beta results with someone one else and that I wasn't pregnant.  Thankfully it was only our HVAC guy. (Yes I am insane)

Juuuuust to make sure I decided to go home to have a pee stick party after work!  I ended up testing three times- when I got home, right before going to bed, and then this morning.

Not sure why I can't seem to turn this but the bottom line is the control line, the top line is the yes, you are truly pregnant line.


Don't worry- I won't be posting any more pee sticks on the blog for this pregnancy.  I finally have proof and that's all I care about.  :-)

So, next step is tomorrow's beta test.  Here's hoping that my hCG levels double!!

I love looking at pee sticks! Of course I am a huge weirdo :)

So happy for you though.

Oh and by looking at those sticks, your numbers definitely doubled!

I really hope you'll give us weekly belly shots. You can just leave off your head to stay anonymous :)

Hahaha, no, my dear, the crazies NEVER go away -- if anything, they only get worse! I even peed on a stick at, like, week 8 because I had sudden paranoia that I'd lost the baby (as if a pee stick would even reflect that)... oy. Fingers crossed for a great beta tomorrow!

Wow, congratulations! I've just come across your blog, and I'm newly pregnant too (almost 6 weeks). Hoping for a high beta tomorrow! (Your first number seems pretty high to start off with too).

Holy crap, I leave for a day and look what happens!! So delighted you're not eating sushi and downing copious amounts of wine!! CONGRATULATIONS! Also, you're not insane, it's just really nice to have the reassurance, isn't it? Those are some nice dark lines :)

I think every IF woman goes slightly insane during pregnancy! Haha! You are not alone in that. So happy for you!
