I'm "In the family way"...

or in other words, I'm PREGNANT! We have been trying to conceive since August, and we became pregnant during our 8th cycle of trying. I first tested around 4 AM the morning of March 27th (at 14 days past ovulation). My allergies woke me up and I needed to pee, so I decided to go ahead and test. I sat on the toilet playing solitaire until the timer was finished. When I looked down at the test, I could not believe I was seeing two lines! I knew David would not be as excited as I wanted him to be, so early in the morning (I could imagine telling him the news, and him grunting and rolling over to go back to sleep). So I decided to wait and tell him once he woke up. Once I stopped shaking, the first thing I did was fill out a card that I had bought him a couple months before, to tell him the news when we finally became pregnant. The outside of the card has a picture of an egg and a sperm swimming towards it, with the words "Nice Aim". All that I wrote inside was, "We are having a baby!" Then, I got back in the bed, but it took me a couple of hours to go back to sleep because I was so excited. While I was asleep, I had several dreams about it. Someone called David and woke him up around 11. I went a took a digital test, while he was on the phone. Once he was finished, I told him that I had something for him and handed him the card. He read it and said, "You're pregnant?" I said, "Yes", and we hugged, and I cried. I think I was in shock the whole day. It felt like a dream, and I kept having to look at the test, over and over again, just to remind myself it was real. My estimated delivery date is December 4th, but I could deliver any time from November 13th (David's birthday) until December 18th and be considered to term. We are so very happy and excited! We cannot wait for Baby Lane to arrive!
