Really REALLY Really Big News!

This is it y'all.  Remember all that crazy IN VITRO shit we were fortunate enough to get to do?

Well guess what? 

The day we found out.

IT BLOODY WORKED!  We are officially announcing that my dear sweet dumpster husband (DH) Christopher and I are 3 months *or* 12 weeks PREGNANT!!!!

I popped last week. No more sucking it in!

There will be many more posts about all this, I promise.  But for now, I wanted to thank you all for your incredible patience, love and encouragement during this time. I know we cut you off and I appreciate your understanding of what a delicate time it's been.  Some of you have guessed and I thank you for not shouting it out. It's been so hard not to SCREAM IT TO THE WORLD (and more so to hide it in pictures!) but my dear sweet husband has kept me in check.  We balance each other out that way.  We have been so nervous up until now and still are, but really, we are at a place where we can start enjoying and being excited for this amazing gift we've been given.  Still a bit surreal, but man, it feels so good.  Anything can happen, it's all so fragile, but we are positive and so hopeful!  

And this week, fergetaboutit.

This has been the about the most challenging several months I've had in my life, including early sobriety.  It's not for the faint of heart.  And I know many of you have gone through this and are going through this and all I have is respect and love for you.  This blog and the Facebook page and all of  you have helped to keep me focused and laughing and for that and so many other things, I am so grateful. 

If you want a background on how we got here, please take a look through a few key posts: It's not me, Hormones, Legs Up!, and finally we ended with this, ironically enough, right before Mother's Day (the day we were told we were pregnant, can you imagine?) - the last post before we went dark on baby talk for a while.

Stay tuned.  There is SO MUCH MORE to come.   I thank you and love you for going through all of this with me and for your continued encouragement.
