This time, though. I couldn't wait. I took my first HPT on Friday, April 27th as soon as I woke up. I didn't even tell Mr. Bossy I was going to do it. Like I said- I'm a chicken. This is what I saw.
I couldn't believe my eyes. I began shaking and before I knew it, I was sobbing. I scared Mr. Bossy half to death when I stood next to the shower holding out my positive pregnancy test. He thought something was wrong. Boy, was he ever wrong.
We spent the weekend doing fun activities; all the while knowing that my beta was on Monday. We kept our secret under wraps. We didn't want to spill the beans before family knew, and we had also decided that we would not share our good news with as many people this time. Just to be on the safe side.
I bought picture frames and typed up this little poem to put inside:
Next January-
In this place
You can a picture
of your
grandchild's face!
We presented my mother with hers on Saturday night (my dad was already in bed due to working early the next morning). She knew my beta was on Monday, but I wanted to surprise her in a fun way. She didn't even have the wrapping paper completely off before a smile spread across her face. She was totally shocked! I put the frame next to my dad's sink so that he would see it first thing in the morning when he woke to shower and brush his teeth.
We gave Mr. Bossy's mom her frame on Sunday when she stopped by to visit. Her reaction was- What does this mean? I politely told her to infer (she can act really stupid at times), and she was able to figure it out.
I decided to take my second HPT this morning before I left for my RE's office. Even after Friday's positive result, I was still scared to death. I kept telling myself over the weekend that maybe that stick was telling a lie!
This is what I saw:
The vertical positive line had gotten darker!!!
My nurse notified me earlier today that my beta is 319. I return on Wednesday for my second one. We're being cautiously optimistic. We sure hope this little one sticks around for the next 9 months!
Please pray for a good, strong number on Wednesday. :)
