A Guarded Positive!!!...

We've waited and waited and waited...the day finally came!

This morning after dropping Amanda off at work, I headed straight down to Ypsilanti for my pregnancy test. They drew my blood, answered a few questions and sent me home. I told them I'd intentionally not answer the phone when they called so that Amanda and I could listen to the news on voicemail together.

At 3:33 this afternoon my phone rang. I looked at it, turned away and prayed. At 4:15 I picked Amanda up at work, we went home, sat on the bed and listened to the Voicemail.

The nurse explained that it was a positive pregnancy test. She said my HCG (pregnancy hormone) was at 30.6. They want it to be 50. So she used the term, "guarded". She said it's a guarded positive :) I have to go back on Thursday to test it again, in hopes that the number continues to go up.

I was totally expecting a drastic yes or a drastic no. I was thinking it was one or the other. I didn't consider something on a "spectrum". So, we're very excited. Very guardedly excited. We don't want to be too happy...yet. But I told you all I'd update :)

Thanks again for all of your support. Please continue positive thoughts and prayers and make these HCG numbers go up!!
