I took a home pregnancy test yesterday and got a big fat positive result! There's the evidence. We got an email from Evan's dad the day before asking who was planning to go on the annual day-after-Thanksgiving wine tasting tour so he could rent a van. I wanted to take the pregnancy test to know for sure I wasn't pregnant so we could be confident in our "Count us in!" reply. I swore there was no way I was pregnant because I felt just like I do right before I get my period: some mild cramps, bloated, a little spotting a couple days earlier. I had just started taking my basal body temperature each morning four days earlier in hopes it would help us predict ovulation the following month. I was just so sure there was no way I was pregnant that I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the two lines forming almost immediately. I quickly brought it out to Evan and he confirmed what I saw: Pregnant!
We are so excited to be blessed with a positive pregnancy result just three months into trying to conceive. I am still cautious in my excitement because I know risk of miscarriage is about 1 in 4 pregnancies in my age group. Evan is better able to live in the moment and not worry about miscarriage. I am trying to follow his lead and enjoy this amazing experience from the very beginning.
Expected due date: July 9, 2013!
