Ok so the first picture is all my beautiful postives haha eventhough some don't show up well on here! And of course the digital one. I'm giddy like a little kid haha... so here is the story of how we found out.
Monday morning I woke up and decided to take a test... I thought well just in case cause if I wait to test on Wed or Thurs then Brad will be out of town and I'll have to try to keep it in or either tell him over the phone and that's no fun. So I did the test and jumped in the shower totally not expecting anything. 5 minutes later I get out of the shower and put my glasses on. I walked over and looked at the test expecting to see nothing or either the tiniest most faint line. Well I looked and it was obviously positive. I did a double/triple take haha!! So pregnancy test in hand, towel wrapped around my wet hair I run into the bedroom and flip the lamp on in Brad's eyes and yell "LOOOK". He blinks at me as if to say have you lost your mind haha. I again say LOOK!! He looks and says what does it mean, I say 2 pink lines.. 2 lines, it's positive, i'm pregnant!!!!! He asked if I was sure because the lines were not the same color (no this is funny b/c anyone who has been ttc for any amount of time has taken and ovulation test or two and those are only "positive" if the lines were the same color or boldness). Anyway so when he finally believed me we both cried, hugged and cried somemore. We of course couldn't wait to tell our families so he called his parents first and I lost it when he told his dad "i'm going to be a daddy"!
I called my OB/GYN that morning and told them I had a positive home pregnancy test and that I had taken Clomid etc. So they wanted to do lab work right away and then again in a few days and then weekly to make sure my levels were where they needed to be. So my first set of labs showed my hcg was 98 and my progesterone was 62. The hcg looks to be on the low end of the normal range, but the progesterone level is high!! After doing some research I found the high progesterone levels are present in multiple births... so we'll see :)
So that's where we are right now, I'm grinning all day and night it still doesn't seem real. I can't believe it, we are sooo blessed!!! Tomorrow I have more labwork done so I'll post back with the results. In the meantime I'm realizing the devil has a whole new batch of things to try to make me worry about but I just wanna say I am healthy, my baby(ies) are healthy and the Lord has promised me a baby. I'm not going to worry about or even give thought to miscarriages or problems, I just don't accept it. Please continue to pray for us... I have my first appointment January 2nd and they said they'd do an ultrasound then... I can't wait :) yay!! Love you guys thanks for being excited with us!!

Have a great Christmas! We are still waiting for our "little Tori gift", as you well know. Brieanna'a brother, Brandon, was born on Dec. 10, so maybe that will be the day. We hoped Tori would be born while we were there for Thanksgiving, but . . .
