get pregnant

A lot of what happens from this point forward isn’t under my control… so everyone please say a little prayer that it all works out.

: )

How fun would that be to have a pregnancy buddy so close at hand?!? I guess I have 9 months to hop on board the baby train… (or else she’ll be my already-had-her-baby pregnancy buddy)

My healthcare people tell me we could try again as soon as 6 weeks from now.

Not that we’re in a rush, but it’s nice to know where we stand.

Whenever my body is ready to try again, we will.

I did it at 4am this morning. And it was positive! I am excited and tired and my mind is buzzing; I can’t get back to sleep.

Of course I’m glad to be able to cross this goal off my list, but really it’s just the first milestone in the ultimate goal: have a healthy baby. So everyone please cross your fingers, light a candle, or say a prayer that this little bugger makes it to the finish line.

Mr. Flash has asked me to wait until Tuesday, after his conference is over, to take the home test. Then he will have more time and emotional resources to process whatever the result might be.

[feeling naughty even posting this, but if I can’t tell family and friends so as not to submit everyone to a possible emotional rollercoaster if it doesn’t work out… and because I don’t want to mess up some complicated protocol about who gets the news before whom… well, I have to tell SOMEBODY don’t I?]

But we’re not trying NOT to, either.
