One minute at a time

Driving.
Cell phone rings.
It's the doctor.
Dr. H: Did you get your test results?
Moi: Nope. (trying hard to keep eyes on road while HB sits anxiously beside me)
Dr. H: Well, you are pregnant.
(Pause)
Dr. H: In fact, how do you feel? Because you are extremely pregnant.
Moi: (Still trying to keep eyes on road while tears are welling up in said eyes.) Umm...I feel tired but you know
Dr. H: But do you feel pregnant? Because I mean it...you are very pregnant!
Moi: (Giving up and pulling over to the side of the road).
Dr. H: Make an appointment tomorrow and get yourself in here.

My hcg levels were 2000+

I'm allowing myself to feel happy tonight.

HO-LY SHIT.

Ok, that's the old dream that I believe Kym used to have on the TTCAMM days--you are oblivious and one day you find out you are very pregnant. You are living the dream!!!

I am so freaking happy for you guys!!!!!
