Beautiful K & Our Totsicles

Today K stopped by when I was doing a big gardening project and I snapped this great photo of K and her boys. K is such a beautiful person inside and out and her boys are both great little guys too! K took another test today, but didn't photograph it. She said that the test was showed a 2nd pink line that was as dark as the control line. She also said she's having periodic low, mild cramping and sort of pinching. Other than that she doesn't feel any pregnancy symptoms yet. So, now we patiently wait for our beta on Monday.

I received a letter from my clinic today indicating that they froze 3 Grade A blasts, so we have a few snowbabies. I was have to admit I was hoping for a few more totsicles, but I won't complain. K is pregnant and we have 3 snowbabies, so life is good!

SJP's surro's got nothin' on K

Not only does K have a uterus to envy she also has some serious mad camera trouble-shooting skills. K played with my camera today and figured out that I had it on some multi-focus setting. She changed it to a single focus setting and was able to take some great photos of the beautiful, darkening hpts!

Today's test (6dp5dt):

The progression of tests: (they are definitely getting darker!)

So pregnant

My camera does this annoying auto-focus thing, so I can't get a clear close-up photograph of the tests. However, I think it's pretty obvious that K is pregnant and the tests already show darkening. Take a look for yourself ...

Oh and in case we couldn't tell from the 2 lines K surprised me with this photo (a little blurry, but clearly says "Pregnant"):

Darkening BFP @ 5dp5dt

K took another test at 5am this morning, which was about than 12 hours later, and the test is noticeably darker. She sent me two photos via a text message, which were small and a bit blurry, yet I could see the 2nd line plain as day! I wouldn't even consider it a light line! K tried to photograph it with her camera, but she said it was too blurry. I plan to go over to her house later this afternoon with my camera in tow to photograph both tests. I promise to put them on the blog for ya'll to see. For now take my word that the test line is very obviously there and K is definitely pregnant ... eek! Baby steps towards the finish line!

BTW ... I know that I should be guarded and not excited given our history, but I decided going into this cycle that guarding myself against potential bad news really doesn't make it any less painful. Therefore, I decided that I'm going to enjoy each and every day that K is pregnant with our baby. I'm going to let myself dream about the future even though it may not come to fruition. So for now I'm fantasizing about K having our babies in early March! :)

VFP @ 4dp5dt

Do ya'll remember K's new acronym during our last cycle?

VFP = very faint positive

Yep, that's what we have again at 4dp5dt! :) K is a super Type A and came home from work and took a test. I received a phone call while out shopping to keep me from obsessing and she said "guess what? I'm pregnant!" I'm sure she could "hear" the smile on my face through the phone. K said she asked her 7 year old to look at the test to ensure that she wasn't seeing things. He told her that he saw 2 pink lines. K has been trying to email me a photo of the test, but it's not coming through. Once I receive it I'll post the photo of the test!

OMG ... I'm still in shock that we got a bfp so early! Can you see me doing a happy dance? Keep thinking + thoughts for us. We want to see the test get darker and darker until the beta on Monday!

Like a good obsessive infertile

I drove out to K's house last night, which is about 20 minutes from my house, to closely examine and photograph the pee stick she did at 3pm yesterday. I told J that I was going to K's house and he naturally asked what for. I told him that I was just driving out to drop something off. He pressed me for more information and I finally told him that I wasn't going to tell him because I didn't want to hear his critical response. J promised not to criticize me, so I explaine why I was going. With a completely shocked look on his face J proceeded to say "so let me get this straight you are driving over 20 minutes to examine a pregnancy test and take photos of it?" I said yes and he said something along the lines of thinking it was a little crazy. I fully admit that I'm a crazed infertile and that driving over 20 minutes to look at a pee stick in comparison to others seems completely normal to me. 5 years of infertility can make a girl a little nutty when it comes to reproductive stuff! I know all of you completely understand! So, without further ado here are the photos of the tests. The top test that's not labeled is the one that K did last night. I put it next to the tests from Friday and Saturday morning, which were done with fmu, and I think last night's test is as dark if not slightly darker than Saturday's. What do you think?

K's Pee Party

Yesterday J and I went to K's house. I took the above picture while we were visiting to show the blogworld the results of K's pee party. The tests from Friday and yesterday are definitely darker than the earlier ones!

We brought K two more hpts--CBU digital! I love to see the word "Pregnant" and wanted the pics for my scrapbook. K took the test right after we left and "Pregnant" immediately popped up on the test's screen. She photographed it, but the photos are a bit blurry. Nonetheless I could still see the word "Pregnant" and it made me smile huge! We also took the following photos. K and I were holding the pee sticks from 8dp5dt and 9dp5dt.

J is being silly (as usual), but I still thought it was a cute photo. We are so excited and can't wait for the results of beta tomorrow!
