Our story:

So on Friday late in the afternoon I started brown spotting again....I told Matt that I was just ready to put this whole awful mess behind me and stop the progesterone so that my period could start. I told him that I planned to call the clinic in the morning to tell them that my period is starting and I was ready to stop the progesterone. Matt was okay with that but he did say that he'd like to at least take a HPT just to "make sure." I thought about that for an hour or so and finally decided that I'd be okay taking a test. Mostly, I was just taking it to prove that I was not pregnant so that I could tell the nurse "my period is starting AND I've taken tests that are negative!"

So, off we went to the dollar store to buy a few tests late Friday night. We got home and Matt read the directions...he said that once I take it, leave the bathroom and then in 3 minutes we'll walk in together to read the test. So, I completed the test and walked out of the bathroom. I didn't even last one minute and I walked back in to look a the test, and this is what I saw:

I screamed something along the lines of "OH MY GOD!!!" And ran out of the bathroom. Matt ran in there, looked, and came back out with the craziest look on his face...it was priceless!!! By that point I was shaking and crying uncontrollably. Matt hugged me and I just remember hugging him and saying over and over again "we aren't pregnant, that's not positive, there's no way that is positive, we don't get pregnant." Over and over again for about a half hour....while he said over and over again "that test couldn't be more positive." I finally calmed down and we sat on the couch together until we went to bed.

I didn't sleep hardly at all on Friday night.....partly because I had napped on Friday afternoon, partly because I just couldn't believe that we might actually be pregnant. I laid there for hours.....I think I was just so in shock about the whole thing!

I laid around for most of the day on Saturday because I was still brown spotting and having some slight cramping. It was a looooooong day! I tried not to do too much Googling but it was hard not to!!! We decided not to take either of the 2 tests we bought and just take comfort in the fact that we had a positive! Matt and I actually went to a local bar on Saturday night and sat outside on the patio and had dinner....it was a gorgeous evening and I think....just what we needed!!!

I slept slightly better on Saturday night but did wake up in the middle of the night with some cramping. I took a few tylenol and fell back asleep. We got up early this morning and drove to the far away south clinic for our test. I was sooooooooooooooo anxious on the way down, but on the way home....I was super calm and positive, I just KNEW we were going to get good news.

Not long after we got home.....my favorite nurse, Claudia called. She told me to sit down because she had MAJOR news for me....she said "you are definitely pregnant, Krista.... and you are very very very pregnant!!!" She said that they are astonished by how high my numbers are and are pretty sure we have multiples in there! I was of course crying again at this point and Matt was jumping up and down, and then came over to rub my back while I finished talking to Claudia. After I got off the phone, Matt and I just hugged and told each other that we were going to be parents!!!!

I have so much more I want to say right now, but I will leave this at that for now....I'm still trying to work so much of this out in my head and trying to let it all sink in. I have so many thank yous to give, and so many thoughts I need to get out, which I'm sure will come in the next coming weeks and months. We have no more beta tests...but I will go in for weekly progesterone and estrogen tests, and our first ultrasound is on the 21st...we'll know then how many babies (please just 2!!! Hehehehee!!!)
