Wordless Wednesday: Two Lines

Jun 1

Posted by

So last week this happened…

You can’t see it in the picture, but there’s actually a very faint second line on the test I took on May 27.

But in case you need more proof…

Brand new Cool Baby coming to a blog near you in February 2012!

(In preparation of my impending morning sickness I am recruiting Guest Bloggers for June and July. Please check this page and contact me if you’re interested!)

      This baby is due on 2/5…so I hope it’s not a Valentine baby ;)! I had terrible morning sickness with my daughter. It lasted until I was about 20 weeks. I’m not sick yet, but I’m preparing myself for it!

    Woot! Woot! Congratulations!!! Gotta say that the last test is my style — dots and dashes be hanged, just tell me yes or no!!!

    Long time, no see — my fault! Looking forward to “reconnecting”! :^)

      Thanks, Rebecca! Yeah, I was kinda hanging on to that last test because I was afraid to take it too early and “waste” it!

      I’m certainly to blame too. I’ve been awful with keeping up with our Goose girls. Do you have email subscription on your blog? That really the only way I can keep up with all the reading!

      Thanks for stopping by and I too look forward to reconnecting 🙂

    Hopped on over here from the SITSgirls forum. My hubby and I have unexplained infertility, too. We went through all those fun tests, tried IUI a few times, then, as a last ditch effort, did IVF in November. We’re expecting twin boys on August 11th (most likely, late July)!

    Congrats on your second pregnancy! And sorry to hear about the impending morning sickness. I was practically bedridden for 18 weeks. 😦

      Sandy, thank so much for sharing your story with me. We never did get around to IVF or IUI. This time Clomid managed to do the trick 😉 Twin boys…how exciting! I have a 10% chance of twins having used the Clomid. We’re going for an early ultrasound in 2-3 weeks to see just how many buns are in the ove!

      Thank you 🙂 I’m not certain I’ll get sick this time around (I’m fine right now), but I was sick all day long with my daughter for the first 20 weeks…couldn’t eat a thing! Bedridden = not good! Hope you’re feeling better.

    CONGRATULATIONS! I had a few negative pregnancies (I felt pregnant so I took the test) with #3 so when I finally went to the doctor I was 15 weeks and found out the next day his gender. It was a great way to seemingly eliminate the first trimester. 🙂
