Yes, yes I know I didn’t post yesterday and what a crummy place to leave things hanging :p I went out and got a First Response Early Result 2-pack of tests the day before yesterday then we walked to pick Scott up from work. It’s really nice that most things are in walking distance. I enjoy walking. Though my youngest does have a hard time walking even in a thin layer of snow and how slowly he goes gets wearing. And my middle tends to whine. But in general I do like to walk. It’s good for wearing them and me out.
But I secured the tests and placed them ready in the bathroom. The next morning I got up and went down. Temp was still up. I wasn’t shaking so badly. I peed into a cup and dipped the test because I didn’t want to possibly mess it up. Here’s the result:
Can you say positive!!
Omg.
I’m pregnant.
Two positive tests. 10 days post ovulation and 11 days post ovulation.
Wow.
/breathe. Of course now part of me is anxious because my temp went down a little this morning. Not much. My forum gals are assuring me it’s fine, it’s still a high temp. But it still worries me a little. I want it to stay high!! Other than that little worry niggling at me, though, I feel pretty confident in this pregnancy.
I wrote my dates into my calendar. Due date will be at the end of October. Once I skip my period I’ll join the October due date clubs on my forums. I pulled out a couple of my pregnancy books. And of course the most important books to me during pregnancy Spiritual Midwifery and Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth – it’s the birth stories in these that inspire me, and have done so since before my first pregnancy. And the talk of attitude. And just the plan good information. But the attitude information and the birth stories have just helped me so much. To trust myself, to trust my body, to trust birth, and to trust my baby.
I’m reading another book now, which I’ll review on NBBC as soon as I’m done with it, in it had a little section to “imagine your baby inside” and I was like…wow…I really, actually, *do* have a baby inside me.
It’s so incredible. I can’t stop marveling over it. Wow. It’s so amazing that two people can come together and make a baby. And it’s flooring me completely to have intentionally made a baby. To have said “I want to create a new life with my love.” And then to invite that new life in even in the timeless moments just before conception. And this little someone that I do not even know answered my invitation. I can’t wait to meet you, little one.
