Tim thoughts this was the month...

And he was right!


Details
Negative on Friday and then positive on Monday. Clomid this month but no IUI. I'm already picking up horrible smells from across the room. And my heart is beating fast with the increased blood flow. And, as always, I always have to pee. Due in Early June.

Thank Yous
Thanks to everyone who supported us (me) over the last year. It has been a long road, and your love and support has meant all the difference. Thank you for walking on egg shells. Don't think I didn't notice you minimizing your joys for me. It wasn't completely necessary; but I saw it all, and I love you for it. (You know, standard, "It must have been cold there in my shadow..." la, la, la.)

Also, thanks to my very important group of ladies who have been or are currently in my infertility club. I love you all so much, and I offer hundreds of constant prayers that your pain will be eased. May we all have peace of mind and peace of heart no matter what our situation. I will miss the closeness that I feel with all of you. Give me 9 months, and I'll be back as club president. But I hope you don't mind me saying, that I hope none of you are in the club when I get back.

Pregnancy
It has been a while since I even let myself think about the idea of being pregnant. It all is sinking in very slowly now, and I am delighted. I stick by my stance that pregnancy -- in all its complexity and pain -- is a miracle. I'm five minutes into this adventure, and I already feel like a miracle -- an actual miracle.

Taryn's Thoughts on Too Many Babies
Apparently my niece does not share the mindset that all children are miracles. Tim's sister Katie has 4 kids. Her oldest is Taryn who is 7 years old. She is a bit of a worrier. When Katie told Taryn that Aunt Jill was having a baby, Taryn asked what I was having. Katie told her we won't know for awhile. Taryn said with a very serious face, "I hope she has a girl." Katie asked why, and Taryn said, "Because that way Quinn will have a sister right away. Cause 4 babies is crazy. Too many."

Quinn
After Tim and I found out on Monday morning, we ran in to tell Quinn when she woke up. I got really excited and yelled, "We're going to have a baby at our house." She then got very excited too and pointed to the top corner of her room. Tim and I both turned to see what she was pointing at. Our chins dropped. It was a very old picture of Quinn as a baby that we have never pointed out or talked to her about. She wanted to hold the picture and show us our new baby.
