Stunned and Crying

April 25, 2008 by Jessica

I’m stunned . . . . . . . . shocked, and crying. I just truly can’t believe it. I finally got a call from the nurse’s office, and my beta is . . . . . . . . .

617!!!

All the tests had been positive for quite some time, but I was so worried that they weren’t for real and I’ve been so afraid of something going wrong. I wasn’t ready to believe it could be true yet. The tests were getting darker beginning about 12 days post ovulation, but at 17 days post ovulation the tests were lighter, so I freaked out that I was pregnant and miscarrying. I was so freaked that I went out and got ANOTHER package of home pregnancy tests and peed on those, too. Those tests looked darker, but I’d never really taken a home pregnancy test in the afternoon before.

Elliot & I were crying . . . we just can’t believe this might finally be happening!

"Our son did not know how to fall asleep on his own, sleep through the night or stay in bed past 5:00am. Jessica was there every step of the way, offering advice, suggestions and support. Her step by step plan made for easy transitions and successful milestones. We cannot thank her enough for all her work and support!"
