The obsessive tester and another funny story

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone...

OK. So I'm an obsessive tester. I confess. I took my first pregnancy test

on Monday the 15th. That was 5 days before I should have gotten my period.

As you know, it came back positive. It was very faint, but positive none

the less. Then, just to " make sure, " I took another test on Wednesday...and

this time I took it right away in the morning instead of the afternoon. You

guessed it...it came back positive again...and a bit darker this time. So, I

promised myself I wouldn't do it, but Friday came and I HAD to take one more

test. It came back positive again (is anyone shocked about that?? LOL) and

this time MY line was even darker than the control line!!! YEAH!! I wouldn't

even have taken that third test on Friday except for that night I had a

dream that I had gotten my period and I freaked out when I woke up. And I

guess

after miscarrying in July, well, I'm just freaked out in general. By the

way...I go to the doctor tomorrow for the " official " confirmation.

Now for my funny story. I can't remember if I shared this with you or not,

but I'm a little " concerned " (not concerned...it would be fun...but I use

that for lack of a better word) that I may have multiples. I took Clomid this

cycle. I'm 37 (will be about 6 weeks shy of 38 when I deliver) and I've heard

that your chances of having multiples increases with age. And I know that

multiples are supposed to come from the mother's side of the family (I have

none that I know of on my side), but my dh's mom AND dad BOTH have twins AND

triplets in their families. It has to start somewhere, right?? So, knowing

that there is a chance for multiples with me, even though it might be slight,

this is what happened to me today. I was making apple bread pudding (have

lots of bread and apples to use up) and the recipe calls for 2 eggs. I broke

the first egg and guess what I saw?? It was a " double yolker. " I called my

husband up to look at it. He just smiled. Then he made some comment about the

second egg having 2 yolks as well. I just laughed and said, " Yeh, right.

It's weird enough to have ONE egg like that. " Well, I broke open the second

egg and, you guessed it, it had two yolks as well. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Now I

know that's not really a sign, but isn't that WEIRD??? I just laughed. I

had used over half of this carton of eggs already and didn't have any other

doubles, so I just thought it was a bit odd.

Thanks for listening to me ramble and share my story. You guys are the best.

Love and peace...
