Our first BFP!!!!

It's official!!!  I'm finally pregnant!!! We got our first BFP on Saturday (November 13th).  As of today I'm 3 weeks, 5 days.  I am happy, excited, thrilled, ecstatic...  I could go on all day!  Of course there's a tiny voice inside of me saying, "Slow down, it's still very early."  But damnit, I don't care!  This was well deserved and long awaited.

I called my doctor's office today and I have my first prenatal appointment and ultrasound on December 9th.  At that time we'll be able to see our little Sprout, make sure everything is progressing as it should be, and possibly even hear the heartbeat!  I'm still in complete shock!  It's so hard to believe that I'm finally pregnant.  I've been feeling great and the only symptom I've had so far is some cramping and stretching in my abdomen.

We've decided that we're going to wait to tell our families until Christmas (then we'll tell friends after our families know).  We found some cute shirts that say "Great Dads get Promoted to Grandpa" that we're going to buy for our dads and then we think we're going to get our moms "Grandma" picture frames if we can find some.  We haven't decided what we're going to do for our sisters and my BIL yet but we'll come up with something.  Our plan is to wrap the gifts up and give everyone their "surprise" gifts at the same time.  I can't wait!  It's going to be so much fun and so exciting, especially because they don't know that we've been trying!


So, what did it take for us to get pregnant, you ask?

Here goes...

8 1/2 Months of TTC
4 Doctors (1 PA, 1 OB-GYN, 2 REs)
5 Months of Clomid (50 mg)
1 HSG
11(+) Blood Draws
Lots of Tears and Frustration
Many Negative Pregnancy Tests
2 Months of Acupuncture
1 Ovidrel Trigger Shot
1 IUI
1 Serving of Pineapple Daily (1dpiui - 10dpiui)
1 Glass of Grape Juice Daily (1dpiui - 10dpiui)
2 BFNs Preceded by 5 BFPs!!!

Mix that up in a bowl with a little optimism and a whole lot of hope and voila!  My eggo is preggo! :)

We couldn't be more excited and have had so much fun researching baby gear.  It's so different to be looking at baby gear knowing that we'll actually by buying it soon!

I'm going to go treat myself to a nice long, hot bubble bath!
