It's pretty surreal to be sitting here typing this out. I didn't know if we were going to get this chance, baby, and we did. You're here! You're real and I can't wait to meet you. As if I needed anything to remind me how incredibly wanted you are, I had some spotting right at 4 weeks that left me utterly scared and introspectively quiet the entire evening. I was so grateful to wake up the next day with everything back to normal.
I don't take a minute of this for granted: the lines are getting darker, my temps are staying high, the weird pre-positive-test fatigue and daytime naps and crazy hunger remind me I've been here before. I actually cried happy, shocked tears when I saw that first positive test at 10 DPO even though I felt deep in my bones that I already knew. I'm here for it all because it means you're growing.
