Scifibaby: Nothing to see here...

Nothing to see here...

Things are pretty quiet around here, not much going on. We've got plans for the weekend, nothing too exciting - we're just killing time until the beta...

But I guess I don't feel an URGENT desire to have my beta right this second, because I already know that for now, I am pregnant.

I've been testing positive since 4dp5dt, today is 7dp5dt. The test line has gotten a little darker each morning. The test above is from today.

We are over the moon, choosing to be happy and hopeful, rather than the alternative. This isn't my first positive hpt, and trust me, I know what can happen.

I'll post my beta number on Sunday! I hope it's nice and high!
