2 pink lines...

Ohh my! Where do I even start!!! This last week has been crazy and emotional..and slow! If this post is all sorts of jumbled up, I apologize, that's basically how my brain feels..crazy!

Last Tuesday, the 5th, Holly sent me a picture of a very faint positive on a pregnancy test. WHAT! AHHH! That was only 5 days passed our 5 day transfer!!! On day 6, she took a digital test and got this pretty little symbol!
 I was in shock, excited, scared...you name it! As the days went on the positive test slowly got darker and darker. Let me just say, keeping that quiet was the hardest thing I've EVER had to do!! I was bursting at the seams!!

 Finally, come Monday it was time for the first blood draw. Her appointment was at 9:30am and we were told to expect the call with results between 2 and 5. Let me tell you, that few hours between her test and the call seemed to take FOR-EVEEER! All of us were going crazy playing that silly waiting game. Finally! The call came and her beta level was 310 with progesterone being well over 40(they didn't give me an exact number, just that it was over 40). Great number and all showing she is, infact, GOOD and preggooooo!!!!!   O-M-G!

The nurse said they they were going to go ahead and do a 2nd blood draw, just to make sure her levels were still going up well. That test was scheduled for today and this afternoon we got the call that her 2nd beta was rising great and was up to 763. It doubled very nicely! 

Here is the progression of all the tests starting on February 5th, which was day 5. Keep in mind with this picture you really cant see the positives in the first few days but on the pictures each day with the test alone, you can see that 2nd line!
 
Here is a great test from yesterday, 12 days passed our 5 day transfer.
 

This is just mind blowing to me! I definitely am still in shock and am excited but I can't help but keep my guard up. It's just one of those things after you've been through all that we have, you've gotta protect the ol' heart strings... at least for a while. 

Our fingers, toes, arms and legs are crossed that everything continues to go well. And, as of right now our FIRST ULTRASOUND (I can't even believe I am typing/saying this!! The last time I saw our baby on an ultrasound, it had no heartbeat. I was pretty sure my heart was about to stop at any point too) is on the 26th of this month. Just under 2 weeks away. I literally have no idea what I am going to do with myself between now and then but I do know that WE ARE EXCITED! 


 Here is how we announced to Facebook after telling our family..



Grow, Baby Lind, grow, grow, grow! <3
