color us pinkly surprised

About 8 days post IUI I had lots of cramping, and was like, "Oh well, period coming."


Four days later, no period(should have come) and I tested positive on a First Response test.

I honestly was floored. We knew the cycle was a bust! We were wrong.

The beta confirmed pregnancy, and was high enough to warrant no other betas. Ultrasound a week later.

We are both super cautious/worried, especially after Mr. S read the NYTimes article about males over 40 having a higher incidence of children with autism.

I am many things:

elated

excited

scared

incredulous (truly, truly)

worried

grateful

No matter what, we got pregnant together. This is my first pregnancy without meds, I feel proud of my body. I don't have to do shots!!!   (If you know us IRL, please don't say anything around others, very few people know, and not our parents(but my brother does) We want to wait until 11 weeks.
