Ten days ago, I was getting ready for my first beta, staring at the stick on the left, and trying to devine if there was the faintest, faintest of lines there. I was thinking that if we were lucky, maybe I could have a chemical pregnancy (I reasoned that a chemical would be better than no pregnancy at all). The idea that this nearly invisible line (a beta of 27, if you rounded up) could ever become the line on the right did not really enter my mind as a genuine possiblity.
Amazing how things have developed in just ten days, isn't it?
Hard for Will and me to totally comprehend, honestly. I mean, seriously, we're pregnant? Is this really happening? Could it possibly be going to turn out ok?
We have entered a new stage of wonder and incredulity. Of fervent hoping.
Pinch us, but I think we are pregnant.
Wow.

Another very-sporadic-commenter here,
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that these posts make me catch my breath. Congratulations on feeling the fervency of hope. I fervently hope for you that the sailing is smooth from here on out (well, as smooth as such difficult-to-navigate waters can provide).
I am beside myself with joy and happiness for you!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVING the badass kickass take no prisoners second line, Mo.
ReplyDeleteSeriously now--
hard to pretend that means anything but
PREGNANT
WHOO HOOO!
(no pinching)
XOXOXO
Kate
So happy for you. So so so happy for you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference ten days makes?
Here's hoping what a difference, a beautiful screaming big cheeked difference **ten months** will make.
*hugs*
Yay! You're pregnant! Keeping fingers, toes and anything else I can manage crossed for you! Congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful line:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
Wow, can't mistake that line! Congrats again and again! Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand where you ar at just now. We had 6 early losses, all with VERY faint tests and falling betas and when we first tested with the current (donor egg) pregnancy, we fully expected the same result. When we heard that the betas were doubling appropriately, we were stunned. I'm at 30 weeks now and just as stunned. I am wishing the same for you!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your posts about this and I look forward to more and continued good news.
ReplyDeleteSoo exciting!!
ReplyDeleteHoping along with you that THIS is the one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great line! I'm so happy for you guys I can hardly stand it. I can't wait for your u/s and your first peek at your wee one. Congratulations, momma!
ReplyDeletehoping!
ReplyDeleteGood things so happen! I have to remind myself of this fairly regularly too, but it is definitely your turn for some wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the darkest line I have ever seen!!! When is the U/S? I'm dying to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteSO happy for you! Continued good sticky vibes :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dark second line. Yahoo! You are sooo pregnant. Having had five losses, I know how hard it is to believe it, never mind enjoy it. Just keep reminding yourself that this is a normal embryo that is going make it the whole way. Lynne
ReplyDeleteI've lurked on this blog for the longest time, but have never posted. I remember (im)patiently waiting for the results of my betas every 2 days and every time I was told they were doubling, I was stunned. Like, is this really happening to me?? Am I actually going to have a baby?? Right up until the day she was born, I was sure there was some mistake. :) Anyway, I check your blog every day to hear the updates and I am just so happy for you both. Can't wait for u/s pictures!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a long time but I don't believe I've ever commented, but I just had to write and say HOORAY!! What a beautiful, dark line, there is definitely a baby there making him or herself at home! Praying that in less than 9 months, you'll be showing us all photos of your sweet little one! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the u/s!!
ReplyDeleteGrinning here! Little Miss Sunshine is great at pinching. She liked to pinch lips. Does that work for you? ;-) I'll trim her nails first.
ReplyDeletePinch, pinch! Yup, you are certainly pregnant. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful! Congratulations :-))
ReplyDeleteso, so overjoyed for you guys.
ReplyDeleteJust YAY!
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously the most beautiful second line. I'm jumping for joy for you and Will. This is really happening, Mo!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog, and leaving a comment. I am already imagining your beautiful baby bump, and your gorgeous life with your much-longed-for baby in it.
Delurking to say OMG!!! Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and will be thinking of you and praying!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!! 10 days of carrying around an awesome secret. Love the line!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO VERY pregnant, my dear. Can't wait to unload all this newborn-baby gear on you! We're back in town the first week of Nov., let me know when you're around & we'll go celebrate
ReplyDelete10 days can put you in a whole new world, a whole new totally awesome world! Congrats again!!!! Just think where you'll be 10 days from now!
ReplyDeleteChills for you both. You deserve to be able to feel the joy. It may never sink in but I hope beyond hope you will be still pinching yourself 9 months from now.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing parents you are going to be!
What a beautiful line! So glad things are progressing well!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I really enjoy heckling you for your extensive pee stick collection.
ReplyDeleteI should explain that I threw out my own personal collection when my baby turned one BUT mine was much smaller. Only 3.
I am loving that solid double line pattern!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!!!
Congrats on your BFP! May this be the one you have been waiting for.
ReplyDelete(Stopping by for ICLW)
Congratulations! Lots of love and punches coming your way ;o)
ReplyDelete*HUGS*
Wow the test line is darker than the control:) Congrats!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on that nice dark line!! I just got my first BFP and am mildly obsessed with retesting (especially since my clinic here in Spain doesn't do betas on IUI cycles, so I'm stuck comparing strength of lines...).
ReplyDeleteI've never commented before but have been reading you for a while now. I'm so happy for you and your little bun in the oven.
ReplyDeleteMeemaw
Yay for 10 days, and 10 more days and 10 more days on and on until there is a wonderful new little person cradled in your arms. Celebrating with you!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! What a great line! I am so incredibly happy for you guys and can't wait to see the baby (or babies) in 9 months!
ReplyDeleteMany congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It must seriously be something in the air this year!
ReplyDeleteThis just makes me so happy. Not nearly as happy as you, but happy. :)
