The Pink Lines

Wow. Ok, I am a POAS fanatic. If I have them in the house, they will get dipped and swirled!

So came back from being away for the holidays, and just had to POAS, in case the previous three a week ago were wrong...

And there it was two pink lines. But the second line was faint. Now starts the analyzing the old test with the new test... Is it fainter because of "bad things"? It is the same test kit box.... So should be same reagents... Should it have been darker???

So the next day POAS again... Just to see those two pink lines appear... Again the second line not as dark on the FRE test.... Do I tell husband my nitty worries?? Do I buy another brand? I should be 5 weeks now...

I break down and show DH the sticks, and try to casually mention my worry about the "faint" line... He turns them over in his hands, looks at them under the flouresecent lights, moves to the window... And then states "The second line is the control line. It is fainter, but the pregnant line is well, big and fat? What is the problem?" PHEW!!!!!!!!

Again, I think too much...

Ok, the rollercoaster starts again...

Wow. That is all I have to say. So we are looking forward to celebrating the holidays, and Eleanor's first birthday on December 30th. And then....

I have been having wicked mood swings. Depressed, and then a manic christmas cookie baker... Um ok? Then the weird hungry all the time and mysterious whopping weight gain. About a week ago, I had an odd moment when getting ready for bed where this warmth and peace came over me. I laughed it off.

Well yesterday I decided for fits and giggles since AF was due yesterday to POAS. I found an old digital model and even though it was now 7:00pm and I had already gone to the bathroom when I came home, decided to try it anyways. Did the old cup and swish method (since I have never been able to aim on a little stick and feel that I was able to do it correctly).

And then..... "pregnant" pops up in the window... OMG.... Hyperventiliation time... Then the fits of giggles.. Then the holy crap, what are we going to do!!!!!!!!

So needless to say the possiblity of number three has really thrown us for a loop. DH was beyond happy. He was glowing! He wanted another child, and he has always stated "we will just make it work" but now?!?!?

We are cautious. I will not go rushing in to the doctors. The funny thing is I have a January 17th appointment scheduled with my reproductive endocrinologist for a "pre-conception consultation". HA HA.... So since this is Pregnancy #8, and lord willing baby #3, we are reserved, but hopefull.

So, here we go again!
