Holy Guacamole!!!

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out today but I didn't want to forget this day so I wanted to write down how everything happened today.
I was so nervous last night that I didn't sleep at all. I mean probably less than an hour of sleep. D had to work this morning so around 8:30 I headed to get my blood taken for the pregnancy test. I didn't take one home pregnancy test because I knew it would mess with my head. When I was sitting there in the waiting room, it was all I could do to not cry. I have never been that nervous in my entire life.
While the nurse was taking my blood she said they had 30 pregnancy tests that day! She said that they get the test results back around 1:30 but don't worry if they don't call right away. Of course I couldn't concentrate on anything today so I just came home and took a nap for a little bit. Then, I was watching Roseanne reruns because nothing is on TV during the day. Then it came: the call. Peter was on the phone with somebody and I yelled at him to hang up and get over here. I picked up the phone and
the nurse said: Elizabeth?
me: yes
nurse: Congratulations! You're pregnant!!!
I immediately just put my hand over my mouth and started crying. About a minute later, I said: "Ok. Now what?" She said they look for a beta number over 50 and mine was 199! I go in for a second blood test Monday to make sure the number is still going up. Then, when I am 7.5 weeks along (I'm 2 weeks along right now), I go in for a sonogram! I'm really hoping for twins, but I will be happy either way.
After we hung up the phone, I just sat there crying with D and saying "oh my gosh" over and over. Finally, I had to call my mom. I was still crying so when I said, "Mom," she was like, "oh no, what's wrong?" Then I just said, "You're going to be a grandma!" She was crying and screaming and yelling at my dad and grandma (they are in California with my grandma right now) to come over to the phone. Everybody was crying and yelling and it was awesome. I talked to both of my brothers and everybody was just so excited. My family has been with us every step of the way during this IVF process so it was nice to celebrate with my family. We also prayed to thank our Heavenly Father for the great news.
I called my one other friend who has struggled with fertility and been with me every step of the way. She started crying and celebrating with me and it was just so great to share that moment with somebody else who knows how it feels to be in this kind of situation.
I hadn't been able to eat all day so I cleaned the running mascara off of my face and we went to celebrate at Chili's. Yeah, we're high class. About half way through my meal, I realized how tired I was. I went home and took a 2 hour nap. I could finally sleep. I have to admit that I have cried on and off all day now.
I still can't believe it! I don't feel pregnant. Whatever that feels like. I can't help but be so freaking excited. Everything was worth it. I know I shouldn't count my chickens quite yet, but I can't help it. I don't really know what to do now, but I'm so excited to start a family. I have the greatest husband and family and now my dream has come true! I can't believe it. I am the luckiest girl in the world.
