"Fine!" I told her.

"Ok", she said. Then I gave in and said, "But I took a pregnancy test and already know it's positive" just to see the look on her face.

Surprised and somewhat dubious she answered, "Really?!?! Wow, that's great. When did you do it?"

"All weekend", I told her. "At first it was faint, so I thought it might be a chemical pregnancy . . ."

"Oh yeah", she butts in before I could finish speaking, as if she thought that was how it was going to turn out.

"But it is much darker today, and my digital tests all came up positive, and my friends (you guys!) all said my faint test wasn't as faint as I thought it was" I told her.

"Wow", she said, "you guys (me and BP, I'm guessing) are amazing. You know, I tell people about you all the time - I don't mention your names of course - but I remember how you had those high FSH levels and you never produce a lot of eggs, but look at you go!".

"That's right!" I told her, "We only need one. And look at him - he's perfect (but I am a teensy bit biased, lol)".

Then I scooped up my little Loverbaby and headed home.

Thanks Jen - the suspense of it all is enough to drive you bonkers! I haven't even showered yet - too anxious/excited/nervous to do anything but sit here and talk to you guys while staring at the phone, lol!

AM,

I can see all of your pics now too. Weird. I'm thinking it must be all the different types of computers and operating systems but I'm no IT gal.

I am guessing a Beta of 180 for AM and 240 for Irina.

Can't wait to hear it girls!!!!

OT - do you think the guys that are siding my house could be a little quieter so as not to wake my sleeping baby? Don't you think they could just lightly tap everything into place instead of all this dang hammering going on?
