Super Fertile?

12 DPO & 3 Weeks 5 Days Pregnant

So I've taken another First Response this morning.  I have 3 of them.  I took one Monday when I got my BFP, today is Wednesday, and I'll take the last one on Friday.  I also had 5 cheapy strip tests - which is what I used when I got my "FAINT" line Monday too.  So those I am taking each day through Friday.  

I have an expo this weekend, but next week I'll post a photo of the progression of how dark those are next week.

Steve and I were talking and are we just maybe super fertile people?  His dad's side has 12 kids, his mom's side has 5.  My mom is the first of 3 (biological) and my dad's biological mother birthed 17 kids.  Yeah.  So maybe it is in our genetics?

I mean, we didn't do a thing to try and get pregnant with Alyssa as far as keeping track of my cycle, testing the first chance we got, no temping.  We started trying the end of May with her and were pregnant by August.

This time around, it only took 1 cycle.  Yes, one very long cycle, but none the less I only ovulated ONE TIME and we got lucky.

I think Steve is in shock.  He wants to see a very dark line for it to be real I guess.  Which I understand, it's going to take some time to sink in.

Scrapbook

Last night Steve was digging in our storage area for some cables.  In a clear plastic storage box he noticed a book that said "My Pregnancy" on the front.  And he asked me about it.  I said it was from when I was pregnant with Alyssa.  It was a book I wrote in about dr. appointments, added photos, and sort of journaled in.

We got it out and spent a few minutes looking through it and remembering that time in both of our lives.  Which was nearly 7 years ago when it all started to take place, so it's been quite awhile.  It was nice to look back and think that we are now doing it all over again.

I want to do this scrapbook/journal again with this baby.  I'll have to drag all my scrapbook things back out, as I haven't scrapbooked in years.  I can't wait to live this journey again.  It was such a memorable time in my life with Alyssa, it is so exciting to be doing it again with her baby brother or sister.
