still feels surreal...

Our family will soon be growing by one more (or possibly more??) Two blood tests and 2 home pregnancy tests have confirmed it - I am indeed expecting!!! I never ever ever thought I would EVER utter those words again in my lifetime.

I feel so blessed. Even more than I did before.

I woke up Monday morning and just felt 'different'. So different from any other previous day. I just 'knew'. So I took a home pregnancy test. It was positive. The line was very faint, but it was there. 

But I didn't believe it until I had the blood test on Tuesday morning which confirmed it. Then today I had more blood work to confirm that my hcg levels are going up, which they are. Tuesday they were 41 (pretty low) and today they were 81 (which is where the nurse guessed they'd be).

It's hard to know what's 'normal' because everyone is different. Some women's #'s start off low and some higher. But as long as they're going up and not going down (or hitting a plateau) then it's good.

I'll have the 'how many' question answered in a couple weeks once my hcg levels hit about 4000. So I thought it'd be fun to have a poll which is over at the top right ------->>>>

And if anyone answers 'three', I'm gonna hunt you down and TP your house!! hehe I'm really feeling like there's only one in there. Then again, I thought my daughter was going to be a boy and my son was going to be a girl! Clearly my intuition doesn't always work properly. So who knows right now!!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. It's been a long (almost) 3 yrs of waiting. Lots of crying. Lots of praying.

And now comes the fun part of waiting. And I can't wait!!
