2 Years, 8 Months, 17 Days

.
That's how long we've been waiting to hear the news we heard today. J's beta at 8dp5dt is 136. She is officially pregnant with our baby!

She got a positive HPT on Tuesday and snuck in to her local clinic for an early beta on Wednesday. It was 41. But I had a chemical pregnancy after our first IUI, and nearly three years of infertility battle scars prevented me from completely believing she was pregnant.

I fluctuate between feeling so excited I could scream and feeling so scared I could throw up. We have a lot of hurdles to clear before we have a real live baby, and I hope I will be able to manage the daily anxiety. I also hope I can find a way to enjoy this pregnancy because, if successful, it will likely be our first and last.

Can this really be happening to me?
