One week!

It's been one week since we got out BFP (big freaking positive)!  Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks along, just 2 and a half more weeks until my first OB Appt!  I am so anxious for that appt, I'm ready for it to be here now!!


Last week at this time we were getting ready to head to DuBois for the weekend to tell Grammie, Grandpa, Aunt Ashley, and Uncle Dommy the good news!  It was hard enough not telling mom and Ash all day Thursday and Friday, I was about ready to burst when we got to the house Friday night!  I wasn't sure how I was going to tell them until Dad suggested we drink some wine.  So I poured 4 glasses and practically drug Ash and Dom to the library where I proceeded to make a toast to the 7 of us in the room :)  It didn't take them long to catch on and by the end of my little toast I was in tears, along with mom, and Ash was jumping up and down and screaming lol.  It was a great moment :)


Now here we are getting ready to head to Derry for the weekend to share our news with Grandma B, Grandpa B, Uncle Aaron, and Aunt Becky.  Not sure how we are going to do it just yet but I'm sure we will come up with something before we get there tomorrow :)  


We've decided to wait to tell everyone else Thanksgiving.  Originally I wanted to wait until Christmas but I know I won't be able to keep quiet that long!  After telling the rest of our families then we will share it with our friends.  Shawn has done really well with not spilling the beans lol!  He hasn't told a sole!  I'm so proud :)  I on the other hand had to tell Melissa the day I got my BFP...I probably would have gone crazy without having her to talk to!!!


Until next time....

And so it begins :)

I've wanted to start a blog for a while but really haven't had the motivation to really do so until now. 

A few months ago Shawn and I had the baby talk and decided we were ready to start a family.  We don't want our child to be born during tax season so we waited until August before we started trying.  I went off birth control in May and started charting my waking temperature to get in tune with my body.  (My BFP Chart)  I was soooo excited when August finally got here!  The first cycle wasn't a success, though I didn't have high expectations to begin with so we were both ok with that.  We knew it could take a healthy couple up to a year before conceiving so we were ready for the journey.  

I was pretty sure that our second cycle would end the same way as the first.  I tried not to get my hopes up once again because I didn't think our timing was very good this month.  Last Wednesday I decided I was going to test in the morning just for fun.  I wasn't expecting to see two lines or pregnant but I gave it a shot.  

I could barely sleep that night...even though I wasn't very hopefully, the anticipation was killing me!  I tested at 4:50am and on October 21, 2010 we found out we were expecting our first child!!!!  :)  

Shawn was still half asleep when I told him and thought I was crazy lol!  I made him took at the test just to make sure there were 2 lines!!!  I wanted to see the word so I tested again at 7 with a digital and sure enough it said pregnant :)

It's been 5 days but I still can't believe we are going to be parents!  We are so excited and looking forward to enjoying every moment of the journey that lies ahead of us!

More to come about telling Grammie, Grandpa, Aunt Ashley, and Uncle Dommy next time :)

XOXO
