Seeing Double




.
And I can't believe it.

I am scared, more scared than I thought I would be with seeing this. I always envisioned doing a spontaneous touchdown dance when I finally got that second line, but instead I feel like I am holding the most precious of Faberge eggs on a tightrope. I am so aware of all the things that can still go wrong. I am petrified that the next test I take will be a blank one.

I know so many people would kill for that second line (myself included) so please please don't think me ungrateful. I am also happy and relieved and beyond anything else, hopeful. It is just that I am so afraid that it will get taken away.

But, as my mom said to me today: For today, this is real. For today, I have my second line.

Please please may it stick.

  4. I've been watching you closely while I've been away- and it's been killing me that I haven't been able to post. But today, today is the best day of all of them! Congratulations a million times over.

    Infertility is devastating, sad, and lonely. But pregnancy is wrought with fear, anxiety, and... even more fear. Try, try, try to remember that this very well could work. Enjoy every minute of it and don't play the 'what if' game. TODAY YOU ARE PREGNANT!

    I'm beaming like a proud auntie over here. I'm absolutely over joyed for you my friend.

    1. Thank you so much! I always miss when you are away -I think I have become co-dependent on your comments :)

      I really am just trying to take it one day at a time (or maybe one pee stick at a time...)

    1. It really is amazing how shocked I was. I did not even believe the first (several) sticks. I felt stupid because I know "a line is a line" but I felt surely that could not really be the case for me. Today I took a digital and that helped :)

    1. Isn't it? I stare at my collection of tests in awe and disbelief (and yes, still fear). But I do know nerves are normal and I am just trying to take it one day at a time.
