What a difference 10 days makes





Ten days ago, I was getting ready for my first beta, staring at the stick on the left, and trying to devine if there was the faintest, faintest of lines there. I was thinking that if we were lucky, maybe I could have a chemical pregnancy (I reasoned that a chemical would be better than no pregnancy at all). The idea that this nearly invisible line (a beta of 27, if you rounded up) could ever become the line on the right did not really enter my mind as a genuine possiblity.

Amazing how things have developed in just ten days, isn't it?

Hard for Will and me to totally comprehend, honestly. I mean, seriously, we're pregnant? Is this really happening? Could it possibly be going to turn out ok?

We have entered a new stage of wonder and incredulity. Of fervent hoping.

Pinch us, but I think we are pregnant.

Wow.

Another very-sporadic-commenter here,
I just want to say that these posts make me catch my breath. Congratulations on feeling the fervency of hope. I fervently hope for you that the sailing is smooth from here on out (well, as smooth as such difficult-to-navigate waters can provide).

I am beside myself with joy and happiness for you!!!

LOVING the badass kickass take no prisoners second line, Mo.
Seriously now--

PREGNANT

WHOO HOOO!
(no pinching)
XOXOXO
Kate

So happy for you. So so so happy for you :)

What a difference ten days makes?

Here's hoping what a difference, a beautiful screaming big cheeked difference **ten months** will make.

*hugs*

What a beautiful line:)
Congratulations!!!

Esperanza said...

Wow, can't mistake that line! Congrats again and again! Keep us posted!

I completely understand where you ar at just now. We had 6 early losses, all with VERY faint tests and falling betas and when we first tested with the current (donor egg) pregnancy, we fully expected the same result. When we heard that the betas were doubling appropriately, we were stunned. I'm at 30 weeks now and just as stunned. I am wishing the same for you!

It is what it is said...

Love seeing your posts about this and I look forward to more and continued good news.

What a great dark second line. Yahoo! You are sooo pregnant. Having had five losses, I know how hard it is to believe it, never mind enjoy it. Just keep reminding yourself that this is a normal embryo that is going make it the whole way. Lynne

I've lurked on this blog for the longest time, but have never posted. I remember (im)patiently waiting for the results of my betas every 2 days and every time I was told they were doubling, I was stunned. Like, is this really happening to me?? Am I actually going to have a baby?? Right up until the day she was born, I was sure there was some mistake. :) Anyway, I check your blog every day to hear the updates and I am just so happy for you both. Can't wait for u/s pictures!

I've been following your blog for a long time but I don't believe I've ever commented, but I just had to write and say HOORAY!! What a beautiful, dark line, there is definitely a baby there making him or herself at home! Praying that in less than 9 months, you'll be showing us all photos of your sweet little one! Congratulations!!!

LisainSK said...

Can't wait to see the u/s!!

Dora said...

Grinning here! Little Miss Sunshine is great at pinching. She liked to pinch lips. Does that work for you? ;-) I'll trim her nails first.

Pie said...

Pinch, pinch! Yup, you are certainly pregnant. :)

That is seriously the most beautiful second line. I'm jumping for joy for you and Will. This is really happening, Mo!

Thank you for stopping by my blog, and leaving a comment. I am already imagining your beautiful baby bump, and your gorgeous life with your much-longed-for baby in it.

Delurking to say OMG!!! Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and will be thinking of you and praying!

You are SO VERY pregnant, my dear. Can't wait to unload all this newborn-baby gear on you! We're back in town the first week of Nov., let me know when you're around & we'll go celebrate

Kahla said...

10 days can put you in a whole new world, a whole new totally awesome world! Congrats again!!!! Just think where you'll be 10 days from now!

s.e. said...

Chills for you both. You deserve to be able to feel the joy. It may never sink in but I hope beyond hope you will be still pinching yourself 9 months from now.

What amazing parents you are going to be!

Lindsay said...

What a beautiful line! So glad things are progressing well!!! :)

Roccie said...

You know I really enjoy heckling you for your extensive pee stick collection.

I should explain that I threw out my own personal collection when my baby turned one BUT mine was much smaller. Only 3.

linda said...

I am loving that solid double line pattern!

Woohoo!!!!

car said...

Congrats on your BFP! May this be the one you have been waiting for.

Beautiful Mess said...

Congratulations! Lots of love and punches coming your way ;o)
*HUGS*

Nick and Kristi said...

Wow the test line is darker than the control:) Congrats!!!!!!!!!

nobabyruth said...

Congrats on that nice dark line!! I just got my first BFP and am mildly obsessed with retesting (especially since my clinic here in Spain doesn't do betas on IUI cycles, so I'm stuck comparing strength of lines...).

Patricia said...

I've never commented before but have been reading you for a while now. I'm so happy for you and your little bun in the oven.

Emily Erin said...

Yay for 10 days, and 10 more days and 10 more days on and on until there is a wonderful new little person cradled in your arms. Celebrating with you!

Laura said...
