Do darker tests mean I am more pregnant?

I kid, I kid.

 But instead of posting more pictures of the 7 or so other tests that I took, I'll just be statisfied in the fact that they all got darker, except the digital that cut to the chase and said "Pregnant." I have a prescription from my regular doctor that says I am indeed pregnant, with an estimated due date of 2/14/2010.

They think a Valentine’s Day baby. Fertility Friend says 2/17/2010. Either way a February baby is on the way. I am officially a “Love Bump” according to the February girls on The Bump.

I’ll take it. I am pregnant. That is more than enough for me.

We have only told 4 people. We are waiting a few more weeks to let the cat out of the bag. I have read the stories of early miscarriages, of late miscarriages, of women who were so excited to share the news, only to turn around 3 days later and share the heartache.

I know there is no way of knowing whether I am going to be one of those women, or one of the ones with a completely “normal” pregnancy.  I just really don’t want to take the risk.

We have our first appointment scheduled with a midwife. We have decided to go to Bar Harbor to give birth. It is the closest family centered hospital, with the lowest c-section rate. The appointment is July 15^th; I will be approximately 9 weeks along.

It is very possible that we will have already shared the news by that point. We are too excited to keep it to ourselves much longer.

And now, for pointless information:

A weekly not-so-wisdom was my Grandmother telling me that I should wait until after I am married to get pregnant because we should enjoy being married before we have a baby. She told me that my brother did it the right way because he was married for a few months before he got his new wife pregnant.  My comeback was “Even if I am pregnant now we will be married for a few months before I give birth” Of course she didn’t know I am pregnant now, and I am sure (or at least hope) that she will feel bad when I  tell her.
