TWO LINES!!!

THANK YOU GOD!!

This month has felt different, and I've kept hoping and hoping, whilst trying not to get myself too worked up, but this morning I decided to test just in case (even though my period wasn't due until next week). I dipped the little test strip and tucked it under a face cloth sitting on the bathroom windowsill while I went to have a cup of coffee...

5 minutes later I went back and almost through it straight in the bin without looking at it... somehow I hadn't expected in the slightest to see that second line.

How can I describe it? I really do think it was one of the happiest moments of my life before.... I ran down to the bedroom and shouted at DOH to hurry up in the bathroom - then he came out (still half asleep) and I held up the test strip and burst into tears. I think he's in shock! Although he's happy, he's also terrified... he hasn't met my family yet and he thinks my Dad is going to lynch him. I don't think he really believed that it would happen.

The little test is tucked away safely (I've only checked it about, oh, maybe a million times...)
I wish my Mum was home as she's the first person I want to tell.. I don't know how anybody expects me to keep it to myself for another 8 weeks though! I feel like bursting!! I got around it slightly by telling a pharmacist this morning... I've had a really bad cold and I went in to ask which decongestant I can take but I'm going to have to make do with paracetamol (hmm... hope the three bottles of Benylin All in One I've consumed in the last four days haven't done any damage...!!)

So this is it... Please God keep my little bean safe inside me and make it grow big and strong!!
