"Get up, I think I see a line"

I'm fairly certain no one even reads this blog but if for some reason you are my friend, and know me in real life, consider yourself special to hear the news (no one except immediate family knows so don't go blabbing it on facebook). I'M PREGNANT!!! AHH!!!

Matt and I have been trying for about 5 months and I was having some serious wonky cycles. I had pretty much decided for certain that it would take some sort of medical intervention to get me knocked up but apparently God had other plans.

Needless to say this blog has now become a baby blog. I want to use it to document my pregnancy. If you know me in real life at all you know that I am about the least crafty person of all time, so this is now "Baby A's Babybook" . I plan on doing weekly updates and bump pics here cause lets be honest, I hate bump pics on facebook.

I had high hopes for how I would tell Matt when I finally got that second pink line but all those cute ideas went out the window at 4:30 a.m on 1-9-11. I pee a lot. I mean a lot. So, I knew I was suppose to use FMU (first morning urine) which for me happens about 4 am. I was certain I was out this cycle due to a negative blood test at 9 DPO but on the morning of 14 DPO but temp went up. I got up to pee and thought I might as well give it a go. After 3 minutes I slowly looked at the pee stick and I swear there was the faintest line. I have been staring at stark white non existent second lines for 5 months so I knew there was something there. I immediately ran back into the bedroom and told Matt to get up cause I think I see a line. He of course told me to "go back to bed and pee again later". I got a digital that night (along with about 4 other tests) and tested again the next morning. I have never been so happy to see the word "yes". So here I am. I go to the Dr. on Tuesday (1-18-11) for my first appt. I'm sure nothing fun will happen except paper work and blood test but I'm so excited to hopefully get some ultrasounds scheduled. We won't be spreading the news to everyone until after the first trimester, but we will tell most family and close friends after we hear a heartbeat.
