This totally doesn't seem real. And i know it won't for several weeks-at least until I actually hear the baby's heart.
My story:
At 21, we had been married 2 years and I desperately wanted a baby, but was afraid it would take forever. So even though I still had 3 semesters of school left, I went off bc and we started ttc. I got pg 2 months later!
Ds was a very high needs baby and I was worried about getting pg, so was soo careful!
When he was 3, we decided to stop preventing. A year later, I went to get checked, and a year after that. The dr told me he had no idea what was wrong, but we could "try a bunch of things". Not my style.
We adopted and 2 years later decided to try again. Nothing for months, and then we got a call that there was another baby, could we adopt him? Of course we jumped at the chance.
So, now we have our 3 boys who are the greatest ever, and I've accepted my infertility.
Fast forward to last week. I'm looking at the calendar trying to figure out if AF is due, cuz it seems like about time. I realized that I was over a week late! And despite being unable to conceive, I have always been as regular as clockwork.
I still had a test upstairs, so I told dh I was going to use it. I totally had planned to just come down after awhile and pretend like it was pos and have a good laugh.
Imagine my utter astonishment when a line actually showed up!! I just stood there at the bathroom counter shaking like a leaf. I made dh go to the store and buy another one! It was positive too, so I guess this is the real deal.
I can't wrap my brain around it. That's for sure.
What is really cool, is that I found out exactly 1 week to the day that ds was finalized. Guess we were just meant to be a family!
I am hoping I get my girl this time. I think. I'm not sure what to do with a girl at this point!
