Our first POSITIVE at home test! - One for every year we suffered!

No, we haven't lost our minds. Yes, we already know I'm pregnant, ha ha.

But we still NEEDED to do this! I think we deserve some "normal people" pregnancy fun after all these years of struggling! ☺ The life of infertility/fertility treatments can often make you feel left out still, not normal. Even if your treatment is a success. You experience things so differently than all the lucky ducks out there whose bodies actually work correctly. So we thought this would be fun, and it was! This has to be the most fun we have had so far, besides our first ultrasound, of course. 

Finding out it was positive via blood test from the fertility center was obviously exciting, but this was SO MUCH better. We have waited a long time to have a positive at home pregnancy test. I can't stop looking at them! ♥ Blake joked that we should frame them on the wall, lol. Not gonna lie, I'm tempted...just so we can look at them everyday in amazement. Can't even tell you how much money we've spent over the years on pregnancy and ovulation tests, but it's A LOT. Two years ago on Valentine's Day we got a positive ovulation test...that's it...for eight whole years. Obviously nothing ever came of that, so it's very fun to FINALLY have these. To hold something in your hands (that's not a piece of paper) that says "YES, YOU'RE PREGNANT! YAY FOR YOU GUYS!" is so awesome.

Thought it'd be fun to do one for every year that we suffered, infertility sucks! Couldn't afford to do one for every month that we were let down, because that would have been over 90 tests. SAD. We are so grateful to have that behind us and finally be starting a family. Blake has said for years that "2015 is going to be our year, I can just feel it!", but I was like yeah right, dude. SO happy he was right. We pray constantly that things continue to go well.

By the way, we didn't have to wait the recommended 3 minutes on the tests, the results were immediate, lol. I can only imagine what my hcg level is now, since it was 1,836 on the 10th. It doubles every few days, so fun! We had no idea that the home tests can detect a level as low as 25.
