A long time coming.......

I have waited a while to post this because I know I have a couple people IRL that read this and felt that immediate family should know first.

But on April 11th at a little after 7 am, I urinated in a shot glass and used the little dropper for my trusty dollar store test and within about 3 seconds I knew I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!

After 25 months, loads of tears, giving up, starting again, giving up again.......it finally happened. One of his swimmers decided to have a little direction and make its way to my egg.

We have had two ultrasounds thus far. The first one was last Tuesday and I was measuring 5 1/2 weeks. It was to early for a heartbeat but I was given my EDD of 12/13/14. We went back today and were able to see one beautiful heartbeat. Dr.M was having some issues with the machine so I wasn't able to get the rate but I saw it! I saw it even before Dr.M did.

D. M released me to the regular OB today. Our 8 week appointment is next Friday. I don't know how I'm going to wait. I know there will be a huge difference between 6 and 8 weeks. I'm so ready to see that little gummy bear.


I'm all over the place here but I thought I should also mention the big reveal. Easter is a big ordeal in M's family. His parents church had nearly 2,500 people in attendance. So big that it had to be moved to the local civic center. My mom usually comes over for Easter service as well since she is an hour away and all alone. We then follow service with a big dinner at his parents and a Easter egg hunt for the kids (300 eggs for 3 kids, can anybody say overkill). I decided it was perfect timing we have golden eggs that equal special prizes. I let my sister-in-law know a couple days ahead of time and we made this..

Needless to say it went over well. Everyone is thrilled and extremely happy for us.

Is it December yet?
