I am going to back track quite a bit and hope to have you up to date by the end of this week. I have been keeping a journal and am using that to help refresh a lot.
I have waited 4+ years to start this journal. You are worth the wait! Let me share the story of how you let us become aware of your impending arrival.
It was Christmas Eve and around 11pm and I was getting very tired. I decided to go to bed and your dad stayed up, as he wasn't tired. Around 230am he came to bed and it woke me up. Little did I know it was the best wake up call of my life! I laid there in bed tossing and turing unable to go to sleep. That is when all of a sudden it hit me! What cycle day was it? I had to think....... I remembered that I should have that joyous visitor for Christmas. I grabbed the clipboard next to our bed with all my fertility information on it and headed to the bathroom. Oh my gosh I thought cycle day 31...I have never been that late sense starting clomid. Hmmmm I wonder could I be?
I remembered I had one more test left at home and decided I better take it just so I could go back to bed and sleep. I had taken hundreds of these things in the past and none came up positive so there was no way this one was going to either. I took the test and waited the longest 5 min. of my life. I walked over and picked up the test and there I froze. 2 lines? Are this really 2 lines? What does this mean? All of a sudden my brain was not working. Thank GOD the box for the test was on the counter... I picked it up reading all the directions. 2 lines is a positive... one line may be lighter than the other. Ahhhh,.... H...o..n..e...y I called, are you still awake? I could here him grumbling and he said yes, what do you need? Need, what do I need... I think a chair! I asked him to come to the bathroom. As he got there I handed him the stick and the box and followed it up with what does this mean?
Looking back what a comical site. Todd finally answered after reading the box and looking at the test 3 times.... ummm, ahhh, I think were pregnant. He just put his arms around me and held me for what seemed at the time 4 years. Then he took my face in his hands and said Merry Christmas.
All of the hormones were kicking in full force then. I think I cried forever. We went back to bed and the last thing I remembered, he was stroking my hair while holding me and saying at the same time I love you.
I couldn't imagine a more magical time or way for us to share that wonderful information with each other.
Remember dreams can come true!
Baby Magic to us all,
Dawn and Baby
